A Romulan disruptor pistol.
Death by Romulan disruptor.
Romulan Warbirds firing disruptors.
The disruptor, or phase disruptor, is a type of direct-energy weapon in common use among many non-Federation races in the galaxy including the Andorians, Borg, Breen, Cardassians, Dominion, Ferengi, Gorn, Klingons, Lysians, Rigelians, and Romulans.
Lysian destroyers were armed with a disruptor weapon system that had a capacity of 2.1 megajoules. (TNG: "Conundrum")
The Cardassian outpost on Korma used "system five" disruptors for its planetary defense weapons. Although never designed to operate aboard a moving spacecraft, one was modified to be used aboard the Cardassian military freighter Groumall in 2372. (DS9: "Return to Grace")
In 2374, disruptor bursts from Jem'Hadar soldiers left anti-coagulants in the systems of those attacked by such a weapon, usually causing their victims to suffer and die from the loss of blood. (DS9: "Change of Heart")
Romulan disruptors leave behind residual antiprotons when fired that remain for several hours. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy")
Types of disruptor weapons
- Disruptor rifle
- Phase disruptor rifle
- Neural disruptor
- Subatomic disruptor
- System-5 disruptor
- Temporal disruptor
- Type-3 disruptor
- Varon-T disruptor
- Disruptor bomb
- Disruptor cannon
- Disruptor pistol
Background
In TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon", the people of Eminiar VII employed sonic disruptor weapons which presumably operated in an entirely different fashion from phase disruptors. Similarities between Eminian sidearms and Klingon weapons of the same period can be explained as a result of the expedient modification and reuse of existing props to accommodate the limitations of television production budgets.
