A Starfleet issue plasma pistol.
The EM-33 plasma pistol was the standard issue weapon for Earth forces and personal defense during the mid-22nd century. This semi-automatic sidearm fires a "bolt" of plasma energy at its target.
By the time of 2151 launch of the Enterprise, the EM-33 was being replaced as the Starfleet standard issue sidearm by the phase pistol. (ENT: "Terra Nova") However, the EM-33 continued to be used by the non-Starfleet MACO forces and was also still in use aboard Earth Cargo Service freighters, like the ECS Fortunate. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
- Whereas the EM-33 pistols used on the Enterprise were grey, the pistols seen on the ECS Fortunate were black in colour.
One of the major disadvantages of the EM-33 pistol was the necessity to compensate for particle beam drift (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs").
