MASTER REPLICAS STAR TREK STARFLEET ASSAULT PHASER

Any civilization which utilizes groundbreaking technology is subject to continual advances and new innovations – and the inhabitants of the Star Trek universe are certainly no exception. 

So it should come as no surprise that William Shatner (Captain Kirk), who directed Star Trek V : The Final Frontier, saw fit to update – amongst other things – the hand-held weaponry utilized by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise for the franchise’s fifth feature film.  In the Star Trek timeline, over 20 years had passed since the original Star Trek television show – The Final Frontier takes place circa 2287 – and Shatner and the film’s crew approached these technological advances with simultaneously realistic and revolutionary tactics.

Gone were the old-school plastic “squirt gun” style phasers made famous in the original  Star Trek, replaced instead with sleeker, larger, black metal “Assault Phasers” that would forever change the look of the Star Trek universe. These more realistic hand-held weapons were reminiscent of – and to some extent were actually inspired by – actual military weapons from the 20th century.

The Assault Phaser made it’s debut in Star Trek V, and appeared again in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, before giving way – once again – to the inevitable forward momentum of technological advances. By the time the Star Trek: The Next Generation era began (circa 2364) – over 70 years later, in the Star Trek timeline – even more advanced technologies were being utilized.

Master Replicas is pleased to present an authentically detailed, fully functional replica of this ground-breaking weapon, complete with a removable clip and Type-I phaser, as well as realistic lights and sounds digitally recorded direct from the films.
