Stun Cane

1. Illegal at law level 2?
2. There should be some serious modifiers for armour - combat / BD should ignore it, some other armours may have woven in insulators.
Two other interesting variants:
Decapacitator: A laser-based system which has only about a 10m range. Works best on the unsuspecting. Stopped by most modern visors or fancy high tech eyegear that can dynamically polarize. Also stopped by closing your eyes. But if it does catch you with your eyes open, the results are nausea, vomiting sometimes, weakness, and dizziness - a general inability to effectively resist. Primary usage: Spec Ops take-down teams, Bounty Hunters, or Law Enforcement trying to subdue and cuff people. Also useful probably for nefarious purposes. Size: MAG-light.
Stun Mesh: Mesh armour, but with an insulating layer on the inside, a conducting mesh, and a battery pack. When set in active mode, someone grabbing the user gets a nasty electrical shock (similar to the cane). Attacking the user with knives, etc. isn't too bright either. A big stick won't invoke the shock though. Nor will a Gauss Pistol.

The name decapitator makes it sound deadlier than it is...
That's decapACitator, my good Spiderfish.
As in 'removing your capacity' (in this case, the capacity to stand, walk and function).
For the record, such a device exists in current day in (effective) prototype form at least. I have a friend who is retired from 5th SF who got to play with one. One is tuned to a frequency that only affects dogs (think mailman stungun) and one to a frequency that affects humans and a composite one was either available or under development.
Of course, like electrical stunguns, this siezure-inducing device might well have some risks when used on a small percentage of the populace.

Oh right well the brain only reads the start and end of a word.
Yes I saw something about a similar item in a magazine once.

Er well from what my alcohol fogged memory tells me it wasn't an indepth article on said weapon. It was just a short paragraph in a magazine.

There are lots of links down the right hand side at this web page 
The New Scientist article is one I've seen before, but some of the other stuff is new to me.
