In standard K9 models, a metal tube came out of a hole at the front of the robot's head and it fired the beam. However, in the case of [[K9 Mark I]]'s future incarnations such as [[K9 Mark 2]], it was simply fired out of the hole, several smaller holes inside also lit up when the weapon was charged. ([[K9TV]]: ''[[Mind Snap]]'') For [[K9 Mark II|Mark II]] and early instances of [[K9 Mark III|Mark III]], the beam was red. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'', ''[[The Ribos Operation]]'', [[KAC]]: ''[[A Girl's Best Friend]]'') Although in K9 Mark I and III's later life along with [[K9 Mark IV]]{{what}} and K9 Mark I's later incarnations, the beam was a more orange colour.

K9 Mark I's photon beam was ineffective against [[Sontaran]] armour. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'') K9 Mark II's photon beam was able to destroy [[Dalek]]s. ([[DWM]]: ''[[The Dogs of Doom]]'') K9 Mark IV's photon beam could disintergrate a swarm of [[Rakweed]] spores.

K9 Mark 2's photon beam was able to heat and cook food, such as a tin of baked [[bean]]s, although it resulted in the beans bursting out of the tin.

When K9 applied this technique to a [[Korven]], white light seem to emerge from its eyes and mouth and its body cracked with white light before finally exploding, leaving its clothes behind. ([[K9TV]]: ''[[The Korven]]'') It could deactivate a device such as a [[Space-Time Manipulator]] without damaging it. ([[K9TV]]: ''[[Oroborus (TV story)|Oroborus]]'') It could also be turned into a photon spread to dispersef gas from a vapour bomb. ([[K9TV]]: ''[[The Last Oak Tree]]'') | ||
The [[Jixen]] were able to reflect and enhance photon beams. K9 was merely able to halt them with a shot. This ability was later incorperated into [[Trojan]], who was so strong it was able to knock K9 back.
