First appearance of the new Hand Phaser

TOSTNGDS9VOYENT

Lieutenant Commander
Red Shirt
If you look closely, the Redshirt behind Spock is carrying a type II, or whatever JJ calls it now. The new phaser is supposedly a mix of TOS and Assult Phaser from STV.

May we never hear the word 'dustbuster' ever again.

Phasers should be PISTOLS, not...er...extensions.
 
Later in the same trailer - Kirk seems to be using an updated version of the TOS Klingon pistol.

anyone about to grab a screen capture for us to look at?
 
Kirk with phaser, probably inside the "suborbital Romulan drill:"

Ever wish that video or film used higher frame rates so that we wouldn't get this motion blur from frame to frame? Something like 60 fps would probably correct that and still maintain the ability to have blur when needed. With newer HDTVs that can now do 120Hz refresh rates, I don't see why 60 fps wouldn't be possible.

I don't think it's a phaser, I think it's a Klingon Disruptor. Just look at the barrel, identical to Klingon disruptor. Only the grip and receiver are different, but definitely got Klingon lineage.
 
You're right BlueRaja. In the JJ commentary on the 4 scenes first showed in England he states Kirk loses his weapon and has to, (paraphrased) pick up an alien weapon.

Definately a disruptor or other alien tech.

Heres the romulan/klingon disruptor from TOS, which i believe was the same prop. cant be too sure though.

It's possible, maybe, but I'm not sure why you would - past 30 fps, the human eye can't tell the difference.
 
Kirks not holding a phaser or a disrupter. Its a hair dryer for his new 90210 scifi hair!
Oh by the way....communicator in the hands of the shortlived Captain Spock.

I think the disruptor that Kirk is using is actually Romulan. The scene where kirk is on the drill, when he loses his weapon, he picks up another, which is most likely Romulan, being that he's fighting Romulans, on a Romulan drill.
