Re: Phaser, Phaser Rifle and Communicator from Star Trek Discovery revealed in detail
I'm liking what we see so far of the phaser and communicator. Not sure about the rifle (phaser rifles were always a bit nonsensical to me... even the tiny Phaser One hand phaser unit, can do everything its big brothers can do). I love the heavy TOS influence on these props. The Communicator might have too much gold chrome on it, but oh well. Phaser looks really bad ass though. And it seems to have a real trigger and safety locks, which were the two deficiencies in the original TOS design. The triple lens emitter is a borrow from the Laser Pistols seen in the original pilot episodes of Star Trek... not sure how that will work but already I miss the clear plexi emitter cone that the TOS phaser has.
