Mancatcher
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Mancatcher is a two-handed non-lethal close combat weapon used by slavers, Arbites and Inquisitorial Acolytes.[1] Its primary function is to hinder or quickly restrain targets without killing them.[2]
The device is made of a long pole (so the wielder will not expose himself to a counterstrike) with some sort of restraining device at the end, from a cable loop that can be restricted around the neck to self-locking iron collars with inwards-pointing spikers.[1][2]
