<p><font size="4">
The Support Phaser consists of two units, the 
power pack (inserted beneath a barrel in front 
of the trigger) and the phaser. It is capable 
of pulse fire at a higher rate than the Marine 
phaser rifle, due to sturdier coils and to 
better integral cooling systems. The Support 
Phaser is a powerful anti-vehicular weapon, 
and against set targets like bunkers and fortifications. 
It also performs well as a long range sniper 
weapon.<br>

<br>
<b>STATISTICAL INFORMATION: </b> <br>
1<i>. Barrel Diameter:</i> 5 cm~2 in<br>
2. <i>Weapon Length: </i>107.7cm~ 42.4 in<br>

3. <i>Weight:</i> 9.1kg~20lbs (loaded), 6.8kg~15 
lbs<br>
<br>
<i>Total energy reserve:</i> 30x10^8 megajoules 
in hotswappable sarium-krellide pack<br>
<i>Power Pack Weight</i>-. 2.3kg~5lbs<br>

<br>
Outlets for external power supply on butt 
of Phaser and and base of grip. <br>
<br>
<i>Power settings</i>: Power settings: 1-18 
operatable by press buttons on the control 
panel, or with Pallas Helmet. (Setting visible 
on the handle as a numbered and colored lights) 
<br>
<br>
<b>FIRING MODES: </b> <br>

<br>
Changed with the control button on the control 
panel, or by optical/verbal commands through 
the Pallas Helmet. <br>
<br>
<ul><li><b><i>Single</i> </b>- as in any other phaser weapon, 
one shot per pull of trigger. <br>
<i>Sustained</i> - A sustained beam or stream, 
useful for cutting through obstacles down 
or wearing down force fields or the target's 
resistance. Activated by holding the trigger 
down after firing. </li>

<li><b><i>Pulse</i></b> - capable of firing up to 30 
'pulses' of energy within a second. Burstfire 
coils store energy in a similar way to the 
phaser cannon charging all the coils with 
the energy for the imminent firing. Coils 
cannot hold the energy indefinitely and the 
energy is let to radiate' out of the coils 
to avoid overload. <br>
This reduces the life span of the energy pack 
by some 34%-45% and causes the coils to glow 
<span lang="en-us">with </span>visible light and warmth and emit hums ranging 
from 40-70 decibels limiting its use mainly 
to battlefield conditions. There is a delay 
of a 0.02 seconds between pulses allowing 
the firer to 'walk the fire' between targets 
or 'hose' moving targets. </li>
<li>
<b>
<i>Randomization </i></b>- The Support Phaser 
comes with integral frequency variation circuitry, 
which can be activated regardless of the type 
of fire.</li></ul>

<br>
<b>TARGETING</b><br>
The Support Phaser utilizes a similar red-dot 
targeter and scope unit as the pistol, but 
also built in to the can mount, or accept 
telemetry from Taccorder unit. Targeting data 
from is displayed on the Pallas Helmet VISOR, 
The taccorder can be adjusted and operated 
by hand but it has been found more efficient 
and faster to use pupil tracking and voice 
commands in battle conditions. <br>
<br>
<b>MAINTENANCE: </b> <br>
Cooling mechanism checks after prolonged use 
are suggested, as well as regular scans for 
phase coil integrity. <br>
