That might best be done with interchangeable grips. The stock and handles can be swapped out for other ergonomics.

Never heard of that movie, but looking at the ratings on IMDB, I guess I didn't miss much.
So, checking out the images on Google, I found one where the shooter is using that side handle. All the others, they're holding it under the bottom of the barrel.
Didn't they have a rifle with a side grip in an early episode of Babylon Five, too??

Can't remember that, but didn't one of the last supplements from FASA, for TNG, show their interpretation of a phaser rifle based on the original 'dustbuster' style Phaser 2, before rifles ever appeared in the series, that had a side grip/stock?
Sorry for the distraction, @Warped9 .

Take your time, W9. This place will always be here when you get back.
Laserblast was made by Earl Owensby, right?
Nice. As to some of the detailing, some sort of flip up targeting system (i.e. aiming sights) similar to the flip up square thing on the Phaser One (and thus, on the Phaser Two). Perhaps it can rise out at the front top of the rifle something like Sulu's targeting device on his helm console.

If you check out one of the better recreations of a hand phaser, such as MR or Wand, you’ll see that the area Warped has above the emitter is the sight. It has a window in there. It is as if the phaser 1 is seeing through that window to make its sight operable. I’m not sure it could work on Warped’s rifle, without the phaser 1, but that is the idea on the pistol.

Very nice - a quick glance suggests a mean Phaser Shotgun to me 
A quick look at how this is progressing. I still have a fair amount of detail to add.

I like the direction.
the emitter of the smaller as optics for the larger. That’ll put a red dot on something
OK, this is really quite promising, but I have a pretty big issue here with the design. This design implies that two hands are necessary to aim and fire the weapon, at least in many important engagement scenarios. For this reason, the placement of controls on top of the weapon, at least exclusively, seems like a bad idea. These controls need to be placed were the hands are going to be or were they could well have to be, or at least there need to be redundant switches there at those locations. See for example, thumb activated fire-selector switches. A soldier should be able to switch from stun to dematerialize etc without moving his or her hands from the grips. Similarly, every site function should be available with hands on grips.
