Who decided to not tell me that those little box phasers and the big pistol ones weren't just swapped out willy nilly in a bit of a 'we're not sure how far this show is going to go' way and instead were THOROUGHLY THOUGHT OUT?!

A TINY ONE FITS INTO A BIG ONE?! HUH???!!!

Type II phaser

It’s my first time making a model (or really anything) out of cardboard. I have no idea what I’m doing.

it’s roughly 9 inches long

I remember a lot of people making fun of the TNG-era phaser designs, but I think (intentionally or not) they kind of betray the Federation in that era having a similar mindset as the Pierson’s Puppeteers from Larry Niven’s Ringworld.

“Oh no, we have no weapons. Just multi-function tools that *could* be used as weapons. In an emergency.”

Roddenberry’s aversion to TNG Starfleet being “too military” but wanting to keep it an action show kind of laid the groundwork for the way DS9 showed that other factions in the Alpha Quadrant find the UFP very suspicious.
