SSR Special Weapons
The weapon was later discovered to be extremely easy to be replicated/manufactured on a starship, rather than waiting until a new shipment of weapons come in. Not only is it easy to replicate, but also easy to repair should anything go wrong. Field tests have shown that the weapon has obviously proven itself. The P18 will not just be a Security Issue phaser, but some Marine Corps Strike Groups have requisitioned some units.
As with the PPP's, this weapon can be fitted with an I-MOD or Phaser Silencer. Two models are available, the R1 and R2. The R2 has an improved recharge rate and its underslung rail can add more options. In the 'slick' mode, it can be identified by its chrome finish.
