[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] You saw the red glowy thing being instered in close-up in "Fight or Flight," I think (or was it "Sleeping Dogs?" One or the other, anyway, can't be bothered to look it up right now). And in "The Xindi" you saw Reed take a pistol from storage and then insert the thingy. I don't know if it's a power cell, or perhaps some sort of prefire chamber that is best stored outside the weapon when not in use for extended periods. Because we still don't know if a Phase Pistol is the same as a Phaser. We've seen nothing to confirm or deny they're the same thing. I suppose the original name could have ben changed, perhaps when the first Type-1s were introduced: you couldn't call them Phase Pistols, what would you call them? Phase TV Remotes? Phase Cellphones? Just checked, it's "Sleeping Dogs" - but they don't refer to the component by name. But I don't have a problem with it being the power cell - the size of Type-1s we've seen establishes that the overall barrel length doesn't have to be that large; and comparing the power cell on a TNG rifle with that on a Phase Pistol, with 200 years of tech in between, doesn't work for me. I think I'll reserve judgement for now. [/QB][/QUOTE]
