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 later incarnations, such as [[K9 Mark 2]], it was simply fired out of the hole. Several smaller holes inside also lit when the weapon was charged.

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.

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. ([[ | The [[Jixen]] were able to reflect and enhance photon beams.
