Humbler stun device: Difference between revisions

The '''Humbler stun device''', often called a "'''shock stick'''", is a purple or blue colored, non-lethal electrical baton weapon used by the [[UNSC]] [[Marines]] and [[Civilian Security Forces|law enforcement agencies]] mostly for "motivating" and/or subduing others in a temporarily painful way, but with no long-lasting effects. The Humbler temporarily shorts out its victim's nervous system, generally resulting in loss of voluntary urinary functions.<ref>[[Media:shock_sticks.ogg|shock_sticks.ogg]]</ref><ref name="Harvest44">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 44''</ref>

When the [[SPARTAN-II Program]] candidates first arrived at [[Reach]] in [[2517]], the batons were used by [[Franklin Mendez|Chief Petty Officer Mendez]] to "motivate" them at first, though they soon grew to cooperate with him and the devices were not needed.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page ??''</ref>

The Humbler was also used by [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] interrogators on [[Insurrectionist]] prisoners.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page ??''</ref>
