** Type III - The type III phaser, the phaser rifle, is carried in most ship stores for emergency situations. Type I and type II weapons are suitable for most situations. The type III has the same 16 beam settings of the type II, a multiple target acquisition system, a gyrostabilized beam emitter, and a larger power reserve than either the type I or II. The type IIIa is a compact "phaser carbine" which has the capabilities of a standard phaser rifle in a smaller overall form factor. | ** Type III - The type III phaser, the phaser rifle, is carried in most ship stores for emergency situations.

Its stabilization system is generally considered to be less effective than the standard type III. | ||
** Type IV - The type IV phaser is a heavy ground or light space weapon. It may be mounted on a tripod or vehicle, including shuttle craft, reconnaissance skimmers, personnel transport skimmers, and as an auxiliary weapon on hover tanks. The power system configuration allows the type IV to deliver short blasts at near overload intensity for the emitter. All type IV phasers emit a pulsed blast which has earned the weapon the moniker of "phaser machine gun." In its tripod mounted form, it is often carried by 4-man heavy weapons teams as part of a marine heavy weapons squad. One person carries the weapon proper, 2 carry power cores, and 1 carries the tripod. | ** Type IV - The type IV phaser is a heavy ground or light space weapon.
