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. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mind Snap]]'') For [[K9 Mark II|Mark II]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ribos Operation]]'') and early instances of [[K9 Mark III|Mark III]], ([[TV]]: ''[[A Girl's Best Friend (TV story)|A Girl's Best Friend]]'') the beam was red, although in K9 Mark I ([[TV]]: ''[[Regeneration (TV story)|Regeneration]]'') and III's later life, ([[TV]]: ''[[School Reunion]]'') along with [[K9 Mark IV]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Gift (TV story)|The Gift]]'') and K9 Mark I's later incarnations, ([[TV]]: ''[[Liberation]]'') the beam was a more orange colour. | 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.

K9 Mark I's photon beam was ineffective against [[Sontaran]] armour. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'') K9 Mark II's photon beam was able to destroy [[Dalek]]s.

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. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Korven]]'') It could deactivate a device such as a [[Space-Time Manipulator]] without damaging it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Oroborus (TV story)|Oroborus]]'') It could also be turned into a photon spread to disperse gas from a vapour bomb.

The [[Jixen]] were able to reflect and enhance photon beams. K9 was merely able to halt them with a shot. This ability was later incorporated into [[Trojan]], who was so strong it was able to knock K9 back.
