Stun Baton

A rigid baton wired to deliver a brief, high-voltage, low-current charge on contact - enough to overwhelm a target's neuromuscular control and drop them without the more serious injury risk a blunt-force strike alone carries. A guarded trigger keeps the charge from firing accidentally during ordinary handling.

Its main drawback is a limited charge count before it needs recharging, and against a target wearing sufficiently insulated gear, the charge may not transfer effectively at all - it is a strong tool against an unprotected opponent, not a guaranteed one against a prepared adversary.
