Enhanced Prosthetic (Shocker)

Overview

Among the most common improvements to field agents with prosthetic limbs were ones which concealed a weapon within the agent's arms, in this case a simple Shocker adapted from the standard Stunstick. It could deliver a powerful stunning blow to one's opponent although it required a power source (micro power pack) to operate. It's ability to retract behind hidden panels in the arm or hand made spotting this concealed weapon was very difficult.[1]

As with other prosthetic enhancements these were employed only by the intelligence agencies of the Inner Sphere with agents who already had a Type 3 or superior prosthetic limb. The Clans were too philosophically opposed and the Periphery too poor to make use of them beyond rare cases.[2] Among the Manei Domini this upgrade was available to all agents with the necessary prosthetic limb.[3]
