It had a longer hand grip or a pistol grip, depending on the model. The type 2 phaser was larger and hand-held. The Starfleet-issue personnel phasers came in three types: The phaser type-1 ( hand phaser) was small and could be concealed easily. From TNG onwards, Starfleet phaser beams were depicted almost exclusively as orange-red in color. Later on, in TNG: " The Best of Both Worlds", it was established that the color of the beam depended on the resonance frequency the phaser was tuned on. The visual effect of the standard beam of a Starfleet hand phaser has been depicted in The Original Series sometimes as a red beam, in " The Changeling" for example, a blue beam in " The Galileo Seven", or a green beam such as in the " Wink of an Eye" in some episodes there was no visual beam at all, only the impact on the target that gave off a blast of light such as in " Whom Gods Destroy". ( Star Trek: The Next Generation, all DS9: " The Search, Part I" VOY: " Caretaker") As a historical note, the regenerative phaser was chosen instead of the TR-116 for development. The 24th century saw many new advanced forms of phaser weaponry for the Federation, such as the ever more powerful phaser arrays that made use of multiple phaser emitter segments, the rapid-fire phaser cannons and new compression phaser rifles. ( Star Trek: The Motion Picture)Ģ3rd century Starfleet phasers became inoperative from exposure to the radiation eminating from 20th century nuclear fission reactors, even if said reactors were safely shielded for Humans.
In the 2270s, phaser power systems of Federation starships were redesigned to channel power directly from the warp core, thereby increasing the power output of phaser banks.

The weapons used by the Human clones of the Mariposa colony were described in the script of TNG: " Up The Long Ladder" as "phaser-like weapons".
