A '''Stasis 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 This and delicate, it their specialized nature means their issue is not possible limited to fire stasis grenades from a [[Grenade Launchers|launcher]]. Instead, they are typically deployed in a manner similar to that of [[melta bombs]]. As their power source is special Imperial agents 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 disruptionthan common soldiers.
Since they are rather bulky and delicate, it is not possible to fire stasis grenades from a [[Grenade Launcher|launcher]]. Instead, they are typically deployed in a manner similar to that of [[melta bomb]]s. On activation, the grenade emits a stasis-loop field around itself. Everything within the field exists in the same moment repeated over and over. Eventually the grenade's power source is expended and the field deactivates. As their power source is rather small, the stasis field caused by an activated stasis grenade does not normally last for a long time, though the duration is normally long enough to cause a significant amount of battlefield disruption. Stasis grenades were available during the [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader|1st edition]] of Warhammer 40,000. They are not a current wargear option.
