Psyk-Out Grenade^[5]

Psyk-out weapons have similar effects as psycannon bolts; they are anti-psyker weapons. Psyk-out weapons take grenade and missile form.

When they detonate, they release fine dust particles which are heavily impregnated with negative psychic energy. This form of energy is extremely rare; in all of human space it can be obtained mainly as a by-product of the Emperor's metabolism.^[1] The Inquisition is also able to render down the same materials from the rarely captured Sensei.^[2] Using the material to create anti-psyker weapons is considered by many to be a great waste, and their issue is strictly controlled. Psyk-out weapons are useless against non-psychic targets. The Sisters of Silence have more esoteric methods for hunting foes whose sorcerous abilities make them proof against physical harm. Psyk-out grenades, for instance, contain the ground-down ashes of cremated martyrs from the ranks of the Sisters, bodily remains that have lost none of their potency as weapons of nullification due to being blanks. The foe reels after each detonation as the sisterhood close in to deal the final blow.^[4]

They are utilised by Culexus assassins and Witch Hunter armies (as orbital missiles)^[3].
