In Star Trek, a phaser is a versatile directed energy weapon, primarily used by Starfleet and other powers. It's a phased array pulsed energy weapon that can be adjusted to deliver a variety of effects, from stunning to vaporizing, and even used for cutting or welding. Phasers are typically handheld, but can also be mounted on starships.
Key aspects of Star Trek phasers:
Particle Beam Weapon:
Phasers fire a stream of subatomic particles called nadions, which disrupt the strong nuclear force in the target.
Adjustable Settings:
Phasers have multiple settings, allowing users to choose the intensity of the energy discharge, ranging from stun to disintegration.
Versatility:
Besides combat, phasers can be used as cutting tools or to generate heat.
Overload:
Phasers can be overloaded, causing a force-chamber explosion with a wide area effect.
Types:
Phasers come in various forms, including hand phasers (Type 1 and 2) and phaser rifles (Type 3).
Phaser Emitters:
Ship-mounted phasers have multiple emitter segments, such as the dorsal saucer section array on a Galaxy-class starship.
Historical Context:
Introduced in the 23rd century, phasers replaced laser weapons in Starfleet due to their greater versatility and ability to stun.

So...essentially, 'he wasn't stunned or vaporized'. 🤪
