Shock Baton

Characteristics
Handles very similarly to the police baton with a shock damage bonus. Occasionally will turn defeated enemies into an ash pile.

Works more or less like Jingwei's Shock Sword

Obtaining
The Shock Baton is carried by many Aliens on board Mothership Zeta and can also be found on Alien Shelves or in Alien Containers and is used by the first aliens you encounter in the holding cell. This weapon is also used by the alien prison guards to torture the captives into making the recordings, heard as the "zaps" in the tapes.

 * Electro-Suppressor - The Electro-Suppressor deals more base damage than the Shock Baton, but lacks shock damage. A critical hit will knock the target down.

Appearances
The appears in the Mothership Zeta add-on for Fallout 3.

Trivia
This weapon seems to be similar to a weapon that the Combine guards used in the first part of Half-Life 2. They are used in a similar fashion to keep prisoners under control. However the model in Half-Life 2 couldn't deal damage due to its current setting.
