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 is issued to all officers, pilots, vehicle crewman, and crew-served weapon crews in the Star Fleet Marine Corps.
Like the PR-1, the P-1 has the capability to fire kinetic rounds, energy rounds, or a combination of the two. 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.

Capabilities and Functions
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.
