*For use in specialized missions only, the Type III phaser rifle is the most powerful phaser available. The Type III phaser has a range of settings equal to that of the Type II, but with a power reserve nearly 50% greater. The Type III phaser can usually produce a greater degree of precision than Types I & II due to the stability afforded by its two-handed grip and the pop-up sight. The Type III phaser is rarely called for, and in fact is not included in a starship's standard inventory. The specialized training necessary for the Type III phaser rifle is only available at a starbase facility. *Source: Back of card
