'''Power mauls''' are [[Imperial]] [[Power Weapons]] most commonly used by the [[Adeptus Arbites]]{{Fn|1}} but also utilized by other armies such as the [[Adeptus Astartes]].{{Fn|4}}
===Overview===
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. Arbites shock troops employ the weapon in combination with the [[suppression shield]] in breaking up riots.{{Fn|1}}
A similar weapon is the '''[[shock maul]]''', which uses an electrical discharge instead of a power field to incapacitate the enemy.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
