[[Image:Mauls.jpg|right|thumb|Adeptus Arbites power maul and shock maul]] '''Power mauls''' are [[Imperial]] [[Power Weapons|power weapons]] most commonly used by the [[Adeptus Arbites]].<sup>1-p34</sup> but also utilized by other armies such as the [[Space Marines||.{{Fn|4}}
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 disruption effect can vary from bashing a hole through a wall, to delivering a sudden knock-out blow to an individual. This tactical depth-of-use makes it a valued tool of Imperial law enforcement.
A similar weapon is the '''shock maul''', which uses an electrical discharge instead of a power field to incapacitate the enemy.<sup>2-p141,3-p67</sup>
