Like the PR-1, the P-1 has the capability to fire kinetic rounds or energy beams. In addition, the power levels of the energy based shots were simplified for ease of use. Gone are the days of 10+ power settings, Now there are just two settings, stun and kill.

Like the PR-1, the P-1 is a kinetic energy weapon and represents a "brute force" approach that Star Fleet does not usually train its officers to engage in. Operation of the weapon is not taught at Star Fleet Academy, and the weapon is only assigned to Star Fleet Security Special Weapons teams or members of Special Operations Command. Though the P-1 can be equipped with nonlethal ammunition like "Shock Rounds" for training scenarios or situations deemed too risky for live ammunition, the PR-1 is only usually issued in situations where lethal force is expected to be required.

[[category:Marine]][[Category: Special Operations]]
The P-1 pistol's projectile weapon system works by using a set of magnets held apart by a small non-magnetic pin. The 'bullet' is dropped into the chamber and held in place by the forward magnet. When the trigger is pulled (in any of the modes) the rear magnet is released by the pin lowering, causing the magnet to accelerate forward. This magnetic force silently propels the projectile out of the barrel. When the magnet reaches the end of it's cycle, the forward magnet's charge is reversed, pushing the aft magnet back into place, and then the process is repeated. This process can occurs in the semi-automatic mode of once per trigger pull. The trigger is mechanical in nature, and the entire process uses no power other than that generated by the magnets moving in the 'firing' chamber. The magnetic field is weak enough to not be affected by standard dampening fields.

Description

The P-1 Pistol, by Andorian Arms Inc., is the accompanying side-arm to the corporation's PR-1 Assault rifle. The P-1 was issued to all officers, pilots, vehicle crewman, and crew-served weapon crews in the Star Fleet Marine Corps. Though no longer in official use by Star Fleet, the P-1 remains the sidearm of choice for Special Forces Operators and some Security Special Weapons Teams due to its versatility and ease of use.

Like the PR-1, the P-1 is a kinetic energy weapon and represents a "brute force" approach that Star Fleet does not usually train its officers to engage in. Operation of the weapon is not taught at Star Fleet Academy, and the weapon is only assigned to Star Fleet Security Special Weapons teams or members of Special Operations Command. Though the P-1 can be equipped with nonlethal ammunition like "Shock Rounds" for training scenarios or situations deemed too risky for live ammunition, the PR-1 is only usually issued in situations where lethal force is expected to be required.
