Effectively a baton surrounded by a power field, the Power Maul has a hidden subtlety: the power field setting can be extensively adjusted so that its discharge effect can vary from bashing a hole through a wall, or indeed armour plate, to delivering a sudden knock-out blow to an individual. This tactical depth-of-use makes it a valued tool of Imperial law enforcement.

Inquisitors and higher ranked individuals usually refer to them as Shock Mauls2-p141,3, possibly referring to a variant of the same weapon (they're known to speak of shock maul also when talking about the standard Arbites equipment). Shock mauls seem to lack power fields, instead using an electrical discharge to incapacitate their targets.
