The knife was removed, but the weapon now sports a large triangular box that acts as a scope. In addition, we can see add-ons in the light gray areas that seem to be switches.
The body is gray now, and the raised panels are light gray. We can also see the prop in DS9: "Shakaar", as the old weapon of the Shakaar resistance cell. The Albino orders his guards to use the kuttars because the dampening field would disable energy weapons. In addition, it features a bayonet ( kuttar) now. The basic color is brown now instead of gray, and the raised parts are gray (not black). The prop was modified more extensively for its appearance in "Blood Oath". We can see it in the episode together with what would become the familiar Jem'Hadar rifle. The prop remains essentially unchanged, but the formerly gray portions seem to be silvery now. We can later see it in DS9: "The Circle". The rifle appears in TNG: "The Hunted" as a hero prop and in large numbers as a background prop. The prop is seen much better in "The Hunted" where it is used as an Angosian rifle.
It appeared as a part of a big scanning device in TOS: "Metamorphosis" and "The Ultimate Computer".Īnother Gatherer in TNG: "The Vengeance Factor" carries a different kind of rifle. Even the original ribbed "barrel" of the Eminiaran weapon was re-used. Aside from that, the Romulans used this type of disruptor too, in "The Enterprise Incident" where they had Klingon ships likewise. It was later modified to serve as the Klingon disruptor in TOS: "Friday's Child" and "Day of the Dove". The disruptor which is nowadays familiar as a Klingon weapon began its life on Eminiar VII in TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon". Certainly we are not supposed to watch closely enough to notice that distant civilizations have the same weapons. There is no need to seek for explanations. Please note that every statement made here should be taken with a grain of salt. Here are quite a few examples of beam weapons. Many props of Star Trek were later modified or even recycled without changes to represent equipment for a different purpose or of another civilization.
