SSR Technologies SC572 Pistol w/Silencer
Repeated encounters with the Borg have proven that energy weapons are only good for, at best, a handfull of shots before they are able to adapt.  Close Quarters Encounters with their Drones have proven that physical impacts are able to penetrate their shielding with little, or at best, no resistance.  In that reguard, Planium Firearms in cooperation with Starfleet Special Research Division and Starfleet Research & Developement have begun to develop new firearms with Chemicaly Propelled, Gas Propelled, or even Energy-Assisted projectiles.  SSR Technolgies' SC572 Pistol is one of the first ones to come off the assembly line.

The 5.72mm SC Tactical Model comes equipped with a silencer/flash suppressor. Its 5.72mm rounds offer good penetration against modern body armor, while keeping the weapons' weight, dimensions, and recoil at reasonable levels.  It is a single-action weapon that uses a blowback-operated, rotating block, breech assembly with a catch slide to pull the cartridges from its 20-round box magazine and into the barral assembly.  This prevents jamming by forcing the rounds through a 'cone' shape inside the slide housing and ensuring the ejector catch latches onto the rim of the round itself to eject the spent casing upon discharge.
