Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Ouroboros small arms and equipment

Iwatani D8 Burst Pistol
A thoroughly unsubtle weapon, the D8 is a chi-powered pistol, fed from a large energy battery. A folding bronze butt-stock can be attached at the heel of the grip, to help control the weapon's numbing recoil. It's favored as a sidearm by many Enforcer for its ability to cause particularly messy one-shot kills and punch through even heavy body armor, as well as the sheer intimidation factor of its deafening report and blazing muzzle flash, and its ability to switch to non-lethal fire if needing to apprehend important targets. When the minds behind the first cybernetic police force decided to equip their creations with "light, concealable equipment", the D8 was the obvious choice.

Tests quickly showed, however, that, even when dual-wielding, an Enforcer was capable of withstanding more recoil than even the brutal D8 provided. Reasoning that you could never have too much of a good thing, the Ouroboros peacekeepers commissioned Iwatani for a D8 variant with a higher rate of fire- the result of which was the D8R, which can be selected to fire in either single shot, or three-round bursts. The M61R can be wielded by unmodified humans, but its strongly recommends that the burst fire option only be used by cybernetically enhanced volunteers.

"Fasces" Stun Baton/Mace
Enforcers of Ouroboros are more than a police force; they just as often serve as soldiers, which presents problems with equipment. It has been known for centuries that rifles make poor police weapons. They require two hands to hold and operate, meaning one must always have a partner, or be willing to discard the rifle while apprehending a criminal. Indeed, this problem has meant that for most of recorded history of modern law enforcement, the preferred weapon is the truncheon. It can be used with one hand while the other can restrain a criminal, and is still favored across the world, even in areas where police are armed.

A simple metal stick would not suffice for the Sprawl, however. Instead, the truncheon is lined with several bronze needles, as well as an electric emitting rune inside that discharges high-voltage, low-current electricity between these needles that is activated with a button on the handle. When the needles penetrate the flesh of an unfortunate Sprawler, the discharge overrides the muscle-triggering instinct, causing intense pain and a loss of control of the body, which no amount of fortitude can withstand. The stun baton can be discharged without contact, in which case the electricity will arc across all the needles, causing a distinct blue glow. This is often followed by holding the Fasces in a threatening manner when an Enforcer is being annoyed. And if the target proves to be too dangerous, or they're just in a bloodthirsty mood, a single flip of a switch will transform their truncheon into a heavy mace, its flanges strong enough to snap a femur in two, and its limiter removed its electrical shocks can fry flesh with ease.

The Fasces can also be used as a normal baton when an electroshock would kill a person, and they were forcefully told to not kill, or when knocking a piece of trash off a garbage can and demanding a bystander pick it up. The baton itself looks fairly normal but is carried in a dagger-like sheath on an Enforcers belt, making many people make their last mistake in engaging an Enforcer in hand-to-hand combat, and once it transformed into a mace it's a sure sign they see red, and their restrictions are gone.
