We calculate, using unitarity, a lower bound on the branching ratio $\chi\chi\to \gamma\gamma$ and $\chi\chi\to \gamma Z$, where $\chi$ is any halo dark matter particle that has $W^+W^-$ as one of the major annihilation modes. Examples of such particles are supersymmetric particles with a dominant Higgsino component, or heavy triplet neutrinos. A substantial branching ratio is found for the $\gamma\gamma$ and $\gamma Z$ modes. We estimate the strength of the monoenergetic $\gamma$ ray lines that result from such annihilations in the Galactic or LMC halos.
