[[Compression Phaser Rifle]]s are one of the most powerful personnel-carried weapons in the Starfleet arsenal and are an alternative to the type-3 phaser rifle. These powerful weapons are assigned to starships that could possibly see intense close-quarters or surface combat.

The USS Voyager was equipped with compression phaser rifles as a standard part of its weapons inventory. They were first used by an away team which transported to the Caretaker's array in 2371. (VOY: "Caretaker")

When set to wide beam, they could fire over a large area potentially taking out a large group of individuals in one shot. (VOY: "Worst Case Scenario")

The USS Equinox was also equipped with them in 2371, as several were still used in 2375 shortly before the ship's destruction. (VOY: "Equinox", "Equinox, Part II")

Starfleet security personnel boarding the USS Prometheus in 2374 carried compression phaser rifles. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")

The crew of the USS Enterprise-E used Compression Rifles numerous times. These included warding off invading Borg, protecting the Baku, and assaulting invading Remans. (TNG movies: First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis)

The Compression Rifle was also the standard armament for Hazard Team members aboard Voyager from 2376 until the ship's return to the Alpha Quadrant.
