Summary

A Photon Grenade is a short-distance incendiary weapon capable of delivering a powerful electromagnetic pulse.

Photon Grenades can be fused to detonate on impact, on a timer, or via use of a small proximity sensor. This provides some functionality as a mine or booby-trap, though this is not the weapon's intended function.

A smaller version of the Photon Grenade can be fired from the launchers on the PR-1 Assault Rifle.

Power Levels/Settings

SETTING RESULTS/EFFECT
Setting 1 Stun, effect severe enough to render target unconscious for up to one hour. Possible nerve/brain damage if target does not regain consciousness after one hour.
