Shock-pole
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Shock-poles, also known as neural stunners are training weapons used by the Astra Militarum.[1]
Shock-poles are sometimes used as substitute weapons when Guardsmen are training in an area (e.g. within a starship) where an accidental weapons discharge or missed shot could prove dangerous. Shock-poles are nominally melee weapons, however they can also be set to discharge at range for target practice.[1]
