Photon grenade

Tau Portal

An Imperial photon flash grenade

Photon grenades are designed to emit an extremely bright pulse of multi-spectrum light which will damage any viewing equipment or optical devices. This will blind them and make them effectively put them into a protracted state of shock, during which time they cannot defend themselves.^[1]

Tau photon grenades are designed to emit a sonic blast and a pulse of multi-spectrum light. They can be thrown by hand or fired from a Pulse Carbine.^[2]

The Imperium makes use of a photon grenade known as a photon flash or simply a flash grenade.^[3]
