Bullpupped SF Phaser Rifle family

As proof that I still breathe & create I post this:

In 2369 Starfleet Quartermasters started to redesign the Type 3 PHASER rifles to incorporate more accuracy favoring ergonomics & features, in the process a design was put forward to create a select fire unit, with the ability to be modified to fit as many usage situations as possible, to that end an engineer created a base unit with a 600 Discharges Per Minute fire rate, that can be toggled back to 200 DPMs, & be semi-automatically fired as well for precise targeting, that engineer also created a rechargeable in gun Sarium Krellide power pack, that can be replaced in field. Along with the aforementioned attributes a modular barrel length system consisting of 20.34 cm/8 in.segments was also included to allow for customization for various applications such as diplomatic security, away missions, tactical combat ops, & sniping. Into the designing process a friend of the main engineer of this weapon system wanted to chip in a little bit and designed a multipurpose Enhanced Holographic Display sight, a 15 mm trilithium/tricobalt grenade launcher, a bullpupped Plasma burst "shotgun," a new telescopic/spread out gripod(short for grip-bipod), & a customized antique scope. When these two were finished a third brought in the notion to use an antiquated attachment method known as piccatiny rails & iron sighting for non-scoped/sighted use. When all was said & done Starfleet Command rejected this idea fearing it would lead to a militarization of Starfleet personnel mentalities, but unbeknownst to all but a few, rumors of Section 31's incorporation of this "family" began to swirl. To adjust the beam intensity/dispersal the blue & yellow translucent lights are slid left to right or right to left depending on desired effect change, and just rear of said adjustment sliders is a cutout screen with a power cell remaining discharge readout. Thanks go to Decado2010 & EagleMalkavian for their parts I used either as is, or disassembled & used for new part housing.
