A photon grenade is a short-distance incendiary weapon capable of delivering a powerful electromagnetic pulse. At low levels, they are capable of delivering a wide-area stun effect; at greater levels, they provide a lethal pulse.
The grenades were delivered with a mortar. In the year 2269, the crew of the USS Enterprise used photon grenade mortars against the Sackers. (TOS novel: The Three-Minute Universe)
In 2376, Taran'atar used photon grenades against Ethan Locken's Jem'Hadar soldiers on Sindorin. (DS9 - S31 novel: Abyss)
