		However, this was changed to phaser shortly after the first pilot episode, "The Cage", was filmed (and becoming a weapons innovation in the late 23rd century), on the grounds that a laser could not possibly produce the explosive effects seen in the episode.
		Phasers are available in a variety of sizes (see Types), ranging from small hand-held units to large phaser banks (in TOS) and collimated phaser arrays (in and after Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG)) that equip starships and various installations.
		The prefire chamber is the part of the weapon where energy from the power cell is gathered, amplified, and processed; it is analogous to a capacitor in use today.

		Phasers are the quintessential Star Trek beam weapon, first seen in the original series.
		The Romulans disbanded with the weapon, as it was not only dangerous to the target but the very nature of electroplasma meant that the weapon was unstable.
		Nor did the weapon have a modifiable power strength and could easily destroy a target or an object when all that was desired was to disable them.

		Unlike the later phasers of the 23rd and 24th centuries, this class of weaponry was emitted from interior- contained phaser cannon ports, which when initialised extend from their dock in a vessel and have a variable targeting rotation, depending on the vessels course.
		The cannon emits a particle beam of polarons, the antimatter counterpart of the muon.
		In the 24th century, bladed weapons similar to the Ka-bar knife remain in weapons lockers aboard Starfleet vessels to serve as a last-ditch weapon should a phaser rifle or sidearm fail.

		Based on how phasers were used in TOS as the main attack weapon, and on how they are arranged in large contiguous arrays in TNG, the idea behind it is as a way for a ship to channel the considerable energy of its power core into a concentrated beam attack.

		In many science fiction scenarios, the laws of physics and nature of matter and energy are different from in the real world, for example the fictional Minovsky Physics, which operate in the Gundam fictional scenario.

	Ex Astris Scientia - Weapons
		A phaser beam probably doesn't consist of charged particles (ions) either, because the beam would quickly disperse due to the mutual repulsion of equally charged ions and because it would be rather easy to shield a ship against them with a static electromagnetic field.
		Replicated weapons would face only one serious problem: The holodeck is a lot smaller than the distance between the weapon and the target may appear to be, and maybe it is not even physically directed towards the target.
		Considering that a phaser or disruptor is a matter wave, while the shields may be an electromagnetic field, a gravitational field (as the TNGTM states) or a subspace field, they should work on a different basis than interference.

		A well-used phaser (wide beam and all that) is better, as is a laser you can sweep around instead of just firing single shots, as are most Schlock Mercenary energy weapons, but I'd rather have a gun than a blaster or a standard SF raygun.
		As an energy weapon calliber could be set or reset, by changing the focussing optics, again back to logistic, you don't have to keep a lot of bullet for different calliber of guns, just use the same space to keep the power packs.
		Two, that sort of weapon would kill whomever fires it.:D Three, it's already being shown that the tactic of wounding soldiers in order to bog the enemy down with wounded is not viable for the reason that only wounding a soldier doesn't stop them from being a continuing danger while they're still in battle.

	Phaser (fictional weapon) -
		Phasers can sometimes be set to overload, which results in a large explosion that can incinerate everything in the immediate vicinity of the surounding environment.
		The function's only drawback is it produces a distinctive whine that increases in pitch and volume as the weapon reaches critical mass.
		This can alert any potential victim to allow them to find and stop the weapon, or reach safety.

		The character had a phaser, tricorder, communicator, and good HTH combat skills as well as all the usual skills you'd expect (Many of which were useless because what good is TF: Federation Starships and PS: Starship Captain in a mostly earthbound supers game?).
		He had a one-charge-per-day multipower to represent access to the "Enterprise" - a big area-effect indirect energy blast with extra time (phasers from the ship), a big "General Knowledge" skill roll also with extra time, etc. Of course, there was no "ship up there" and all the effects were psychically generated by the comatose kid.
		A Hand Phaser can also be used alone; it is identical to a Phaser Pistol but does not have the +1 OCV (it's awkward to hold and aim) and uses twice as much Endurance per shot, but it is easily concealable.
