Weapons List

Name :  A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # All

Name Notes
M1 Garand [1] A rifle used on Earth in the 20th century. The M1 was one of the weapons used in the World War II holoprogram Voyager's crew experienced in 2374. [1]
Maco Baton [2] A baton used by the MACO teams in the 2150s. The baton was used to inflict blunt force trauma or electrical discharges. [2]
Maco Rifle A weapon in use with the Military Assault Command Operations force during the mid 2150s, the MACO rifle came in at least two variations. The standard weapon was a pulse rifle [3] capable of firing either stun [4] or kill shots - the rifle was capable of blasting a hole right through a person's chest if necessary. [5] A pop-out unit contained a magnifier sight which had at least two modes, normal [6] and night vision. [2] The weapon had two hand grips and a shoulder stock. [3]

The second version had an extended barrel, and was used in a sniping role. [2]

Madsen Model 1950 [7] A projectile weapon used on Earth during 20th century. An automatic weapon, the madsen could fire projectiles at a rate of hundreds per minute. The neo-Roman species encountered by the Enterprise in 2267 used weapons identical to the Madsen Model 1950. [7]
Magnetometric guided charge [8] A weapon employed by the Borg. The charges were used to force the Enterprise-D to leave the Paulson Nebula which it had been hiding within. [8]
Majalan Pike Rifle A cross between a pike and a beam rifle. It can be used in close hand to hand combat in place of a staff. It can be used as a pike and finally it is an effective beam weapon. [9]
Malurian pistol [10] A Malurian pistol circa 2151 [10]
Mauser 98k [1] A bolt-actionrifle used by the Germans during the 20th century. Voyager's crew encountered Mauser rifles as part of the World War II holoprogram they experienced in 2374. [1] Captain Archer also encountered them in an alternate timeline version of the 1940s. [11]
Mazarite pistol [12] A Mazarite pistol from 2152 [12]
Mek'Leth [13] A Klingon bladed weapon, larger than a knife but smaller than a sword. [13]
Memorial Species Rifle [14] These rifles were used by the species which built the memory memorial encountered by Voyager in 2376. [14]
Menos's weapon. [15] Beam weapon used by Menos in the 2150s. [15]
Merculite Rockets [16] Obsolete weapons system found in some older spacecraft. [16]
Metagenic Weapon [17] Biological weapon which used genetically engineered viruses to designed to destroy any form of DNA. The viruses could destroy all life on a planet in days, whereupon they would die out and so leave the planet ready for re-colonisation by the aggressor. [17]
Metreon Cascade [18] Weapon of mass destruction which can destroy the surface of an entire planet. [18]
Microvirus [19] A genetically engineered weapon designed to attack only cells with a very specific DNA sequence, i.e. members of a single family or clan. The virus blocked the function of the enzyme cholinesterase, thus blocking autonomic nerve impulses. [19]
Miners Pistol [20] This pistol was used by the miners who Voyager encountered in 2377. [20]
Miners Rifle #1 [21] One of several varied weapons used by the dilithium miners the NX-01 encountered in 2152. [21]
Miners Rifle #2 [21] One of several varied weapons used by the dilithium miners the NX-01 encountered in 2152. [21]
Miners Rifle #3 [21] One of several varied weapons used by the dilithium miners the NX-01 encountered in 2152. [21]
Miners Rifle #4 [21] One of several varied weapons used by the dilithium miners the NX-01 encountered in 2152. [21]
Miners Rifle #5 [21] One of several varied weapons used by the dilithium miners the NX-01 encountered in 2152. [21]
Miners Rifle #6 [21] One of several varied weapons used by the dilithium miners the NX-01 encountered in 2152. [21]
Mines Mines have been in use as an anti-starship weapon since at least the 2150s - Romulans were known to use cloaked minefields at this time, leading to one incident in which significant damage was inflicted on the NX-01 when it accidentally wandered into such a field. [22] Gravitic mines were in use during the 22nd century - the disabling of a civilian spacecraft by a gravitic mine formed a part of Starfleet's Kobyashi Maru test. [23]

Today the antimatter mine is a simple, no-frills weapon designed to be used in large numbers in order to restrict or deny an area of space to enemy forces. One of the simplest forms of mine is the command model; this consists of a matter and antimatter charge held suspended in containment fields within a small case which also holds a communications mechanism. This type of mine would be deployed within the scan radius of a controlling vessel; the ship then monitors the area for the approach of enemy vessels, detonating a mine by remote control when an enemy vessel approached it. If a long duration minefield is required a sensor drone can take the place of the ship. The Enterprise-D used such a minefield to force the surrender of a Cardassian fleet in the McAllister Nebula in 2369. [24] In 2372 the Klingon Empire attempted to place a minefield around the Bajoran system to prevent the Federation reinforcements from reaching the system in the event of a Klingon invasion. The plan was only revealed when one of the mines exploded by accident, badly damaging a Klingon cruiser. [25]

More complex and effective mines are each fitted with their own sensor system. Although this makes the mines slightly more difficult to construct, such a minefield is not dependant on a single drone to run it and is hence more resistant to countermeasures.

The better mines are essentially tiny drone spacecraft, fitted with their own independent sensors and drive system, controlled by an artificial intelligence computer. The Federation Type 16 mine is an example of this type - it constantly surveys space around it to a radius of five light seconds, analysing anything which enters this zone and comparing it to a pre-programmed file of enemy vessel types. The entire minefield can be networked together, allowing them to share sensor information between them. If an enemy target enters the field the mines will determine which one has the best possible intercept solution; this mine will activate its micro impulse drive at the appropriate moment and track in on the target, detonating its warhead at the moment of closest approach. The Type 19 mine operates in a similar manner but the mines are fitted with a small warp engine to allow them to engage targets using warp drive. At this level the mine is essentially a photon torpedo capable of lying dormant for long periods.

The most recent development in Federation mine technology is the model developed by an engineering team on Deep Space Nine under Chief Miles O'Brien. Barely a metre in diameter this is one of the smallest mines in use by the Federation. [26] It contains a photonic charge equal to several hundred grenades rather than a matter/antimatter charge, along with a micro impulse system and sensor system capable of scanning out to a radius of two thousand kilometres. The limited range and destructive capability is more than offset by the use of both a cloaking device and a replicator system on the mines; when a target is detected the mines swarm it, overwhelming the defences. Once the target is destroyed the mines in that area can replicate replacements to quickly bring the field back up to strength. This type of minefield is exceptionally difficult to clear; the use of a cloaking system on the mines means that an enemy can never be sure that every mine has been destroyed in a weapons barrage. Should only a handful survive to destroy another target, hundreds or even thousands more mines are quickly replicated and the field can be back up to full strength within hours. Such a minefield was deployed at the Bajoran Wormhole to block access by Dominion forces, triggering the Federation-Dominion war. [26] The Dominion forces which captured DS9 at the outbreak of the war struggled several months to disable the minefield without success before finally managing it just before the station was retaken by allied forces. [27]

Minos Beam Cannon [28] This weapon was discovered on the surface of Minos. Little was known about it, and the Enterprise-D crew speculated that it might be a display model abandoned when the planet's population were killed. [28]
Molecular Decay Detonator [29] A technology used only in Romulan explosives. [29]
Molecular Solvent Grenade [30] A hand held grenade containing a Molecular Solvent, completely stable and easily handled until it is detonated. [31]
Mordanians rifle [32] A phaser weapon used by the Mordanians in 2364 [32]
MP-5k [33] A sub-machine gun used on Earth in the late 20th and 21st centuries. The MP-5k was popular with police forces, and was one of the weapons used to quell the Bell Riots in 2024. [33]
MP40 [34] A sub-machine gun produced by Germany during the 20th century. Federation scientist John Gil gave the Ekosians a copy of the MP40 in his efforts to remodel the planet after Nazi society. [34] captain Archer also encountered them in an alternate timeline. [11]
Multi-kinetic neutronic mine [35] A Borg weapon with a yield of five million isotons, twenty five thousand times more powerful than a Federation photon torpedo. During their brief alliance with Voyager, the Borg proposed using the weapon to spread nanoprobes capable of destroying Species 8472 ships. Janeway declined, noting that the weapon would be powerful enough to spread the nanoprobes over a five light year radius, making it a weapon of mass destruction. In any case the fifty trillion nanoprobes necessary to arm such a weapon could not be produced int he time available. [35]
Mummification Weapon A weapon which encased the target in a covering in a matter of seconds. It was fatal to Humans to be so encased. [36]
