For example, in Star Trek, a hand phaser can be set to "stun" or "kill". The intended effects may be non-lethal or lethal. These directed-energy weapons emit energy in an aimed direction without the means of a projectile. The franchise depicts various weapons which fit the motif of the raygun, the most prominent of these being the "phaser".

For example, NASA noted that the Star Trek "phasers" were a fictional extrapolation of real-life lasers, and compared them to real-life microwave based weapons that have a stunning effect. Many aspects of the fictional universe impact modern popular culture, especially the lingo and the idea of a spacecraft launching space torpedoes and firing lasers, and have had a wide influence in the late 20th to early 21st century. The Star Trek franchise consists primarily of several multi-season television shows and a dozen movies, as well as various video games and inspired merchandise. The Star Trek fictional universe contains a variety of weapons, ranging from missiles (the classic photon torpedo) to melee (primarily used by the Klingons, a race of aliens in the Star Trek universe). It is not to be confused with Cannon Phaser. Gunners commonly use a variety of plasma weapons."Phase cannons" redirects here.The Institute, general store: Sold by the synth vendor.Tracks targets superior magnification and sighted accuracy

Straddling the middle ground between pure energy and pure kinetic weapons, the plasma rifle is a highly customizable platform allowing for the creation of multiple types of weapons, including a marksman rifle, a shotgun, and a flamer. This toroid is then ejected down a superconducting barrel against a given target.
When depressing the trigger a plasma toroid is produced that can remain stable under normal atmospheric conditions. This rifle uses a microfusion cell as its power source and draws plasma from a separate cartridge. With significantly advanced factions tinkering with the design post Armageddon. Prior to the nuclear Armageddon REPCONN Aerospace – as a subsidiary of RobCo Industries – would successfully develop an improvement from their spaceflight research. This however was not the end of the design nor manufacture of this weapon platform. This design was produced and fielded in number prior to the Great War of October 23, 2077.
This plasma rifle is a lightweight urban warfare weapon created as part of a desire to replace the aging Winchester P94 "Plasma Caster" design.
