phaser rifle
From Trekipedia
The Type 3 phaser rifle was a more robust and powerful version of the phaser for individual use. When Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell was mutating after exposure to the Galactic Barrier, Lieutenant Commander Spock had a phaser rifle beamed down to his location; Captain Kirk ultimately used the weapon against Mitchell, but by that point he had grown too powerful, and it had little effect.[1]
