===Type 33A1 CQC/SOSAR===
The Type 33A1, as its name suggests, is an updated variation of the Type 33 CQC.  As SAR operational requirements demanded more compact and versatile -- yet still powerful -- weapons, the Starfleet Corps of Engineers began producing the 33A1 in mid-2389.  Though very similar to its predecessor, the 33A1 features a shorter barrel, lower profile, and the inclusion of a rail system onto which operators can attach a variety of scopes and optics according to situational requirements, personal preference, or both.  Total length of the Type 33 CQC is 602mm (23.7 inches) and its weight is 2.54 kg (5.6 lbs).
The 33A1 is the primary weapon for Starfleet Search and Rescue going forward, due to its compact design and versatility.
===Type 33 CQC===
===Type 33 CQC===
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 is the primary rifle of choice for standard SAR operations going forward, due to their small, lightweight design.
