Only Blades can find a way to blow you to smithereens with a gun that's only supposed to blind you.

Photon pistols are small sidearms which fire photon blasts, capable of blinding their targets with flashes of lights equal to 5000-watt light bulbs. The Protectobots (except for Hot Spot) carry photon pistols as standard sidearms. Even pacifistic First Aid and Groove. Hmm.... Some other Transformers who also use photon pistols include Nightbeat (who goes so far as to carry two of them), and Quake (if and whenever Heater puts effort into transforming into one). One of Needlenose's pet Nebulans, Sunbeam, turns into a solar-powered light-burst discharger, which works on the same principle, so long as the airhead remembers to charge it up first.

The ever-loopy Weirdwolf, armed with a photon pistol, is he. However, blinds his target, it does not. Rather, high-frequency energy particles, it fires. Confusing, it is!

Whoops, nevermind.
