It looked like a phaser to me, but I suppose I should check on my books a little closer. Anyway, It seems that the laser was used as SF's standard weapon along with the partical beam cannon as SF's standard heavy weapon. It was suggested that the phaser, through intense experimentation, became a culmination of both weapons. Having the Penetration of the laser and the impact of the partical beam cannon. That's why I wonder about the cannon in (TC) being a laser or phaser? Chris Wayne @ UNM
