Type IV Long Range High Power Interdiction Phaser
Maximum range: 500m-2km (varies with power setting)
Rate of fire: semi-automatic
Weight: 8kg (9 w/ power pack)
Power source: Standard Self Charging Power Cell
Power capacity before recharge: full power setting - 40 shot; stun setting - indefinite
Price: $120,000 US
The proposal for the Type IV Long Range Interdiction Phaser was brought before Starfleet Marine Operations Command in 2372 after the Targus IV Incident, when Starfleet Marines were unable to fend off a counterattack by a still-classified aggressor because of inferior weapons ranges. The enemy's formation tactics called for a new weapon that could accurately target and engage enemies from long ranges from a concealed position. As word of the ineffectiveness of the current Starfleet issue Type III phaser rifles spread, the Commandant of the Marine Corps pushed for Starfleet to adopt a new long range rifle, to be issued to a member of each fire squad and to two man sniper teams for covert actions. The Type IV was what came of that, and was adopted for field trials in mid 2373, with widespread use by late 2374. An interesting development on the Type IV is the integrated Light and Sound Suppression System. Through a classified method of quantum dampeners and sonic baffles, most of the light energy and sound produced by the phaser blast is absorbed in the suppressor without a noticeable loss of performance. Another feature is the Visual and Infrared Hybrid Sight System. By combining traditional light amplification systems and infrared, a true color digitally enhanced telescopic sight picture is provided to the shooter.
Type IV-B Medium Range Combat Support Phaser
Maximum range: 300m-1300m (varies with power setting)
Rate of fire: adjustable from semi-automatic to 800 pulses per minute
Weight: 10kg w/ bipod (tripod - 5kg, quadrupod - 8kg, microfusion reactor - 9kg)
Power source: self charging high capacity power cell -or- portable micro-fusion reactor
Power capacity before recharge: full power setting - 80 shot; stun setting - indefinite; reactor - indefinite on all settings
The Type IV-B Medium Range Combat Support Phaser (CSP) has recently come about to fill the need of a weapon that can lay down large amounts of fire accurately and effectively. The CSP fires pulses, much like a vastly underpowered pulse phaser cannon, instead of the traditional phaser beam. The CSP is light enough to be carried by one man, or a two man team if the reactor is being used. The CSP can be used as a heavy automatic weapon with the addition of a tripod. The tripod allows the weapon to be fired accurately at longer ranges at higher rates of fire from improvised or fixed defensive positions. The quadrupod acts on the same principle, although it extends to stand the height of the operator, to allow the operator to fire from a standing position, so as to be usable in a more diverse role, such as light anti-aircraft fire. The addition of an sensor enhanced sight system, which incorporates a tricorder feeding sensor data into the sight, makes the CSP much more effective at firing at moving targets from fixed defensive positions. The tricorder utilizes a specialized program that computes accurate lead data based on target distance, size, and speed, and sends that
data into the sight, which corrects the sight picture, allowing the shooter to fire accurately at moving targets. The CSP can also be mounted coaxially or flexibly from vehicles, to be fired manually or, if fitted with actuators, remotely.

The phaser carbine was devised for infantrymen that aren't riflemen such as anti-armor, medics, commanders, etc.
Price: $10,000US
A "special fire control unit" feature can be nixed to make it a conventional lighter alternative to a fully-fledged phaser rifle. The handle is optional as well, and it can support a small two-round reloadable grenade launcher. The carbine comes with a primary power supply in the stock, and a secondary removable power supply in the grip.
There is also a PDW variant available, with the rear stock removed and replaced with a lighter folding stock. The large primary power cell is no longer present, relying completely on the smaller hot-swappable power cell. This variant is used mainly for armament on non-combatants such as technicians, or as emergency armament for pilots whose craft are downed.

Work on the Veskaland Defence Force Phaser Pistol Mark 10 began in early 2379IR (about 2002 in RL terms), before the famed "Nemesis" incident. Veskaland Defence Force desired a variable-yield pistol that was compact, lightweight, and suited for encounters with the Borg and a variety of hostile races. Added to this was the requirement of a degree of customisation, allowing the pistol to accept silencers, laser sights, and flashlights, bringing its versatility in line with the Type-III phaser rifle's wide range of capabilities. The VDFPM 10 also adopts the rifle's strictly weapon appearance, a stark contrast to the tool-like Type-II, and a point of much debate during the design process. While originally intended to replace the Type-II in Veskaland Defence Force Intelligence and other covert divisions, the VDFPPM 10 is steadily replacing the old Type-II phaser in the fleet itself.
The pistol, codenamed "Meteor" during the developmental phase, is an intriguing blend of old and new. For a more intimidating appearance and ergonomic feel, the partially Rotovian team of designers referenced many projectile weapons of old, notably those of America. A moulded handgrip provides comfort and accuracy, while the power pack nestled under the emitter can pop out easily to be recharged or replaced. Simply tapping the buttons on the back with one’s thumb changes the power level, and squeezing the lightweight trigger may fire the weapon. Power pack charge level and Weapon setting are displayed on the side, by way of small lights. The weapon is a mere 20 centimetres long, and can be carried easily in a belt-mounted holster.
