Repulsion Grenades

The Xaad Industries Repulsion Grenade was initially an experiment in anti-gravity. The Xaad scientists conducting research built a handheld device that was intended to create a small field of anti-gravity. The plan, had the prototype worked, was to move on to extending the field of anti-gravity for use in transprtation. Well, the protoype did not work as planned. It instead acted as the center of a very forceful burst of what they now call "repulsion," essentially reverse gravity. After the device went off, what was initially a 20ft diameter circular laboratory became an equally circular 35 ft diameter ring of wreckage, small crater included.

Xaad Industries almost discarded the prototype; however, a visiting weapons distributor who goes by the name of Ragashingo, saw the potential the prototype had as a tool for Guardians caught in a bind. He had heard nightmarish tales of Guardians stuck in the midst of a Hive swarm. He convinced Xaad Industries to continue manufacturing the prototype as-is (as-was?) and acquired sole distributing rights. The repulsion grenades can now be found only at Ragshingo's Weapons Emporium, or on the dead bodies of Guardians too foolish to use them.
