The characteristic weapon of the Ehbling, the stunner is based on charged gas technology, requiring both a power pack and a gas canister as ammunition. In form, the weapon is quite small, around the size of a blaster pistol, with the gas canister and power pack usually worn on the belt, and attached to the weapon by power cords and tubes. They are usually built by and for Ehbling, and require substantial modification to be used by those of other races.

When fired, the stunner produces a long, incandescent blue bolt that extends from the weapon to the target. This beam is of Korion gas energized by a powerful electric charge. When it strikes a living target, this beam produces a powerful paralytic effect, which usually produces a temporary stun effect, similar to that produced by blasters on a stun setting. There are exceptions to that rule, as some races and individuals experience far more serious effects; brain damage, pulmonary and respiratory disorders, and death are not unknown. In game terms, on a 1 or 6 on the wild die, in addition to bonuses or penalties, the damage is regular, rather than stun. In addition, the manner which different races are affected is at the GM's discretion.

There are those that believe that Ehbling stunners have any number of other settings, including a kill setting, and a flame thrower setting. In actuality, these effects are caused by the substitution of other gasses for the Korion usually used, which can cause the production of the effects listed above, as well as many others, including narcotic and brain wiping effects. For this reason, Ehbling Stunners are highly illegal in Imperial space, and their ownership is highly regulated inside the New Republic.
