The humbler stun device, often referred to as a "shock stick," is a non-lethal electrical baton weapon used by the UNSC Marine Corps and law enforcement agencies. It is primarily employed to "motivate" or subdue individuals in a temporarily painful manner, without causing any long-lasting effects.[1] The humbler temporarily disrupts its victim's nervous system, usually leading to a loss of voluntary urinary functions.[2][3]

Use[edit]

When the SPARTAN-II program candidates first arrived at Reach in 2517, the batons were used by Chief Petty Officer Mendez to "motivate" them at first, though they soon grew to cooperate with him and the devices were not needed.[4]

The humbler was also used by Office of Naval Intelligence interrogators on Insurrectionist prisoners.[3] They are also utilised occasionally by ONI agents.[5]

They were also used by bouncers at a Chicago club, at which they tried to use the devices on an intoxicated Sgt. Avery Johnson.[3]

An ODST attempted to use a humbler on SPARTAN-II Maria-062 during her testing of the MJOLNIR Mark VI armor in Songnam on Earth in 2552.[6]

In 2553, Naomi-010 used a humbler or a similar cattle prod-like device to subdue Jul 'Mdama in his cell on UNSC Port Stanley.[7]
