Electric Energy

Melee
Conductive metal rods with batteries integrated into the design. Handles/Grips are normally rubber or other insulative materials to prevent user shock. Other make-shift weaponry has been introduced into the world since the fall, such as blades and blunt weapons to carry the electrical shock. During the last years of the Old World, stun rods and electrical weaponry were common practice amongst law enforcement and therefore are found rather commonly amongst survivors. Other types of electrical blades are usually hand-made and hard to find.

Energy
Usually referred to as Tesla Cannons, these scarcely available weapons are highly powerful and deadly. They are long, vehicle mounted cannons containing a large coil and using electron packs as ammunition. The Tesla Cannon fires a concentrated, lethal beam of electrical energy to a single target, but has the chance to arc off towards others and even friendlies. Those firing the weapon should be using non-conductive gear to avoid being the primary target of the blast.

Ballistics
Many existing stun guns shoot a tethered dart at the human or animal target and then pump high voltage shocks down the wires. But MDM’s system, called Shockrounds, is wire-free. Instead, the rubber bullet has copper electrodes on the surface, connected to a filling of ceramic piezoelectric material. When the bullet hits the target, the piezo filling is violently compressed and releases a shock pulse of at least 25,000 volts through the electrodes. This penetrates clothing and instantly stuns the target. The effect is enhanced by also filling the bullet with conductive gel that splatters and spreads on impact.​
