History[]
Primary Canon[]
Developed from the Proton Grenade (Air Filter Prototype), Proton Grenade (Air Filter)'s were first presented on the table with the proton sidearms after the Ghostbusters met with Mayor Bradley. The demonstration of the Proton Grenade was conducted by Erin with one of the three on the table. She instructed her to throw it and it would send up a "little poof" only dangerous to ghosts.[4] Erin armed and threw it. It exploded by some trash. Everyone was dazzled. Holtzmann corrected herself, it was a "medium poof." Later, three were placed on a ammo shoulder strap and worn by Abby Yates before headed to Times Square. Abby used the grenades against the Times Square Battle Ghosts.
