Compression Phaser Rifle
Compression Phaser Rifles 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")
