The Merr-Sonn stun baton was a type of stun baton crafted with the specific intention of controlling crowds. This weapon was created by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. and saw use within the ranks of the Corporate Sector Authority.
The stun baton from Merr-Sonn was essentially a weighted club enhanced with a built-in shock charge generator. It featured an internal weight that could be adjusted to shift the weapon's balance, thereby modifying the physical impact of each strike.
Miniature shock projectors were integrated into the ridges along the baton's surface, enabling it to administer a debilitating stun charge. The intensity of the stun could be adjusted via a small dial located above the recharge socket. Typically, a single blow from the baton would paralyze a target for several minutes, often resulting in unconsciousness. The weapon's rechargeable power cell allowed for three hours of continuous operation.
Highly effective against unarmed demonstrators, the stun baton was a common tool used by the Security Police of the Corporate Sector Authority. Despite being advertised as a tool for managing human crowds, the Merr-Sonn stun baton had the potential to kill when set to its maximum charge.
