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.

The P-1 pistol's projectile weapon system functions using powerful electromagnets coiled around the weapon's barrel to propel a magnetic slug down the barrel at tremendous velocities. The Duranium-core round is forced into the chamber by a strong spring in the insulated magazine, and with each trigger pull the power supplied to the coil surrounding the barrel is switched on and off in a precisely timed sequence, causing the projectile to be accelerated quickly along the barrel via magnetic forces. Once the chamber is clear and the power to the coils has disconnected, another round is forced into the chamber. The process is repeated once per trigger pull in a semi-automatic fashion.

The P-1 pistol requires less power to fire than a contemporary directed-energy weapon, and is less likely to be affected when exposed to an energy dampening field. However, some loss of performance is to be expected in such conditions. Improper or extended use of the weapon can also contribute to overheating of the coil, leading to inefficiency and/or failure.

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.
