M87

The M87 "Black-Hole" Combined Stun Grenade is a standard issue grenade for militaries around the world, including CORE. Also called a "Party Popper" as it is less lethal and was developed after augmented or robotic targets made an EMP pulse device necessary, as a regular concussive grenade would have little effect on these targets.
An activated M87 grenade will send an EMP to disrupt electronic devices in the vicinity. After a short delay, the grenade would then detonate conventional explosives with debilitating light and sound. On earlier models, without the delay, the explosion would destroy the EMP emitter before it dealt any significant damage.
However, dedicated EMP devices are recommended for use on military grade robotics, such as the Anarchist Inlay series, which are usually too heavily shielded for the M87 to be effective. The M87 is the most effective against augmented biological targets and consumer level robotics.
