The disruptor, or phase disruptor, is a type of directed energy weapon in common use among many non-Federation races in the galaxy.
Known users of this phaser-like weapon include the Borg, Breen, Cardassians, Cravic, Dominion, Ferengi, Gorn, Klingons, Lysians, Pralor, Remans, Rigelians, Romulans, and Vidiians.
In 2374, disruptor bursts from Jem'Hadar soldiers left anti-coagulants in the systems of those attacked by such a weapon, usually causing their victims to suffer and die from the loss of blood.
Romulan disruptors were known to leave behind residual antiprotons when fired for several hours.
