  • Hard sound is used in specialized rifles used by assassins of the Office of Naval Intelligence, used in special assassination missions against political leaders and others who pose a threat to ONI. Hard sound kill their target instantly by obliteration their internal organs and by causing cerberal haemorrhage. It leaves no residue, or any traces, making it virtually untraceable in forensic investigations. It is very silent, making it useful in stealth.
  • A directed energy weapon is a weapon that inflicts damage via a beam or pulse of electromagnetic radiation, high-energy particles, or more exotic forms of energy. In most space-faring civilizations, directed energy weaponry had replaced projectile weapons, which tended to be regarded as more "primitive". The most common types of directed energy weapon are phasers and disruptors, though a wide range of other energy-based weapons have also been developed. (TOS; TNG; DS9; ENT)

  • A directed energy weapon is a weapon that inflicts damage via a beam or pulse of electromagnetic radiation, high-energy particles, or more exotic forms of energy. In most space-faring civilizations, directed energy weaponry had replaced projectile weapons, which tended to be regarded as more "primitive". The most common types of directed energy weapon are phasers and disruptors, though a wide range of other energy-based weapons have also been developed. (TOS; TNG; DS9; ENT) In the Alpha Quadrant, subspace weapons such as isolytic bursts were forbidden by the Khitomer Accords. (Star Trek: Insurrection) Advanced weapons existed, in the forms of the planet-destroying antiproton beam mounted on the so-called "planet killer". Federation technology had very little to match this technology when faced with one such weapon in 2267. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine" ) The Xindi weapon was another planet-killer utilizing a directed-energy beam, but it was destroyed before the Sphere-Builders, manipulating the Xindi, had an opportunity to complete their plan by using the device on Earth. (ENT: "The Expanse"; ENT Season 3) The Ennis, a Gamma Quadrant species, stopped using directed energy centuries before 2369, as it was, in Golin Shel-la's words, "not damaging enough". (DS9: "Battle Lines")
