Star Trek Assault Phaser

Starfleet hand weapon in use at the end of the 23rd century. An unusual design in that the butt contains a removeable magazine powerpack. A type-2 phaser or phaser pistol is a typical hand-held directed-energy phaser weapon used by Starfleet and United Federation of Planets personnel during the 23rd and 24th and the 29th century. More powerful and generally larger in size than the type 1 phaser, type 2 phasers were kept aboard Starfleet and Federation starships, starbases, space stations and at planetary facilities.
