The Type 33 Close Quarters Combat Phaser Rifle is the newest addition to the Starfleet armoury. Production began in early 2388 in response to problems and concerns raised by Starfleet officers participating in the retaking of space station [[Deep Space 17]] during the [[Second Battle of Eratis]]. The Type 33 CQC's compact design is intended to make operating in confined spaces, such as the corridors and jeffries tubes of DS17, far easier. Total length of the Type 33 CQC is 688mm (27.08 inches) and its weight is 2.54 kg (5.6 lbs). | The Type 33 Close Quarters Combat Phaser Rifle is the newest addition to the Starfleet armoury.

The SOSAR is clearly a rifle used in more hostile situations, where it is known ahead of time that a SAR Team will face serious opposition to their goals from well-armed adversaries. | The SOSAR is clearly a rifle used in more hostile situations, where it is known ahead of time that a SAR Team will face serious opposition to their goals from well-armed adversaries. | ||
====Type 32 and 32A OSR==== | |||
A rather larger rifle, the Type 32's base design was adapted to become the Type 33 CQC. A workhorse rifle, the 32 is still used in many combat situations, primarily by Starfleet Marines, but also in some situations by Starfleet Security. Many prefer it's more ergonomic design to that of the SOSAR. It's length makes the 32 generally ill-suited to SAR operations, but it's Operational Support Rifle variant -- the Type 32A OSR -- has become standard equipment in any Search and Rescue department. Essentially a sniper rifle, the 32A goes by the much less militaristic sounding name of "Operational Support Rifle." The 32A OSR shares the same body as the Type 32, with a longer barrel, more advanced and higher quality targeting sight and a folding bipod. The purpose of the OSR is to provide support for evacuations and protection for SAR Team members performing their duties in hostile environments. | |||
