A stun pistol is a non-lethal hand-held directed energy weapon. As the name suggests, it only fires a stun beam. However if a stun pistol was fired at point-blank range at the head of a target, it could cause some brain damage. If fired at arms or legs, the feeling would return in about four hours. It is not known if this type of weapon is a phaser variant. Cervantes Quinn carried a stun pistol and used it on several occasions. (VAN - Declassified novella: The Stars Look Down)

- A stun pistol was a type of stun blaster. Designed exclusively for nonlethal crowd control, stun-pistols only fired stun bolts, and emitted a glowing blue arc that could immobilize an organic target, but caused no damage to inanimate objects. Since they were designed for stunning only, they had a longer range than most blaster's stun settings, with a typical stun pistol getting fifty shots out of a single power pack. Additionally, the bolts were heavy enough that they could pierce medium armors like stormtrooper armor.
