A Stasis grenade is a unusual weapon that uses the stasis field effect.
Developed by the Adeptus Mechanicus, stasis grenades are extremely rare and expensive to acquire. Since they are rather bulky and delicate, it is not possible to fire stasis grenades from a launcher. Instead, they are typically deployed in a manner similar to that of melta bombs. As their power source is rather small, the stasis field caused by an activated stasis grenade does not normally last for a long time (although there is a slim chance of the stasis field becoming a self-replicating loop), though the duration is normally long enough to cause a significant amount of battlefield disruption.
Stasis grenades were available during the 1st edition of Warhammer 40,000. They are not a current wargear option.
