Description: Although it's possible to set most phaser and disruptor weapons to "stun" a target, it's also possible to cause injury accidentally with such weapons-by missetting the device or shooting someone at too close a range, for example. Also, they're not always dependable; some species, such as Klingons, have greater resistance to such attacks than others. Rogue seeking a way around these problems - soft-hearted thieves and gamblers who, while more than willing to lie, cheat, and steal, have no desire to kill-often use a weapon known as a stunner. A stunner affects the neurophysical processes of most humanoids, instantly rendering them unconscious (typically for at least ten minutes, and often for hours).
