=== Type II (Phaser Pistol) ===
[[Image:phaser1-2.jpg |thumb]]
Unlike the Type I, whose design remains mostly unchanged from previous models, the Type II Phaser is a departure from the design which has had been in favor for the last centurymore than 100 years. Returning to the pistol design of the 23rd Century, this Phaser II also incorporates the Phaser I for increased power, a design which hasn’t been seen for a century. The Type II phaser is the standard armament used by away teams and kept in various compartments throughout ships.
Channeling power first through its own large housing and then the Phaser I unit creates a massively more powerful blast, and far more options in a crisis situation. The removable power pack also allows for almost continuous use without recharge, as long as extra power cells are available. A first for this design, the Phaser II also incorporates a portable beacon, this powerful light helps this unit to act as a Multifunction Device -- a high powered weapon with a removable Phaser I, good for concealment, and a beacon light helpful for search and rescue. Along with the increased power comes a new scale, while key points remain identical to those on the Phaser I, they are now divided into 16 settings which give a greater range for increased effect and more accurate results.
