Diagram of an isomagnetic disintegrator.
An isomagnetic disintegrator (aka an isomagnetic cannon) was a shoulder-mounted directed energy weapon that was used by Starfleet by the 24th century. (TNG movie: Star Trek: Insurrection)
History and specifics[]
An isomagnetic disintegrator in use in 2375.
When fighting one of Gothmara's Hur'q-Klingon hybrids, Worf wished that he had an isomagnetic cannon to easier dispatch the monsters with. (DS9 - The Left Hand of Destiny novel: Book One)
Technical data (classified under Starfleet Security Directive 24168.9)[]
- Range: 5-145 meters
- Length: 128 centimeters
- Mass: 3.85 kilograms
- Energy: 4,000 charges (good for 40 shots on maximum setting)
- Settings: 1-6 (light stun to heavy disrupt)
Using a portable magnetic-charge inducer, the weapon fires a collimated beam of isomagnetic energy which disrupts the target's electromagnetic field. On lower settings, the beam affects the target's inner ear and/or causes impairment to the target's nervous system. When fired at higher settings, the disintegrator reduces the target to a cloud of dust and static. The beam affects a 1-meter diameter area upon impact.
