A-13 grenade launcher

The A-13 Flash Grenade Launcher was the sole defensive armament issued to UED Medics during the Brood War. The A-13 was originally used to provide illumination on the battlefield. However, the delivery system and projectiles were modified to emit a burst of light in the visible and ultra-violet parts of the spectrum. The result was to damage the retinas and/or photo-optic receptors of a target.
