Star Fleet Marine Corps realizing the need, resolved to manufacture a heavier, more rapid firing version of the common Phaser rifle. The result was the SAWP. The main differences between it and its cousin the Type 3 Phaser Rifle is that the SAWP is designed from the ground up as a rapid-fire pulse Phaser. In order to accommodate the increased electronics’ fit and additional mechanisms, its dimensions had to be slightly expanded. The SAWP uses high strength polymers in its construction in an attempt to cut down on weight and increase strength. Additionally it features a collapsible bipod near the muzzle.
