{{ImperiumPortal}}'''Power mauls''' are [[Imperial]] [[Power Weapons|power weapons]] most commonly used by the [[Adeptus Arbites]]<sup>{{Fn|1-p34</sup> }} but also utilized by other armies such as the [[Space Marines|Adeptus Astartes]].{{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.{{Cite This}}
Arbites shock troops employ the weapon in combination with the [[suppression shield]] in breaking up riots.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
A similar weapon is the '''shock maul''', which uses an electrical discharge instead of a power field to incapacitate the enemy.<sup>{{Fn|2-p141,}}{{Fn|3-p67</sup>}}
