Phased energy is beyond our level of technology.

Yes, until we have the technology to create that type of energy I severly doubt the creation of that kind of weapon......kind of redundant.....hmm

It is imposible now but its really quite simple to do but you would have to find a way to phase out of our time even for a micro second thats all phasers do they don't shoot evergy they use energy to phase time hence the name phaser. And a distruptor only disrupts time.

So maybe I think that the question should be restated as thus: is it possible to create a laser weapon?

You can say that again! Its internal configuration is a recharning coil, sarium krellide powercell, beam control assembly, subspace transceiver assembly, safty interlock, prefire chamber and a emitter crystal. And thats only for a type 2 personal phaser!

I got an idea on creating one... look
First get 2 or 3 laser pens.
Then create the phazer body made out of plastic, wood, or glass.
Get some crystal and can reflect light. (find a way to make 3 beams of lasers into one beam)
Then get a lens, magnifying glass type lens. (when the sun hits the lens it does create heat and can burn things) so creating the same effects using laser pens should do the trick.
Create a button on the phazer body, and when you press it, all three laser pen button is turned on.
Then now you have create a phazer thats not harmful. But still a phazer..

What does a phaser emit?

Yeah, please, someone tell us. What is that red light beam that comes out of a phaser when it's fired? We have lasers as well but you can't see them. Only in a foggy medium do you actually se the laser beam.
BTW, what does laser stand for. I learnt it some years ago but forgot.
Light Amplified Stimulated Emited Radiation? Is that it?

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
That's what DITL says, figured I'd post it, as your's is oh so different,

A phaser beam is rapid nadion charged energy, not light radiation like a laser.

I am sure they could do this, and I dont see why they wouldn't want to, think of all the money in ammunition they would save.

thats the problem if we saved money on ammunition the econmy would fall and as the greedy materialistic world we live in needs to expand we can't afford to save money on anything, why do you think we all don't drive fully electric cars?

^Because electric cars are not as powerful as turbo or super charged cars? I need all the boost I can get

I'm guessing not much. All bullets are are basically a metal dome with a metal cylinder with a bit of gun powder attached to it.
What kind of resources do you think it would take to power a beam with energy measured in terawatts?
For your information, 1 terawatt = 1 gigawatt.
That's quite a bit of energy.

This depends on the power of the beam. At visible wavelenghts, beams with about ten watts or more are visible even in clean air (the air molecules themselves scatter enough photons to make the beam visible).

The most efficient lasers barely reach 60%, so it would take at least 1.7 terawatts of power.
By the way, a terawatt is 1000 gigawatts.

i know this one guy who has a terabite of harddrive on his computer
oh yeah they use teraquads on startrek which is 1,000,000,000,000 X 1,000,000,000,000 bites which is a 1 followd by 24 zeros

btw. 1 terawatt is: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 watt......... kinda lot...

If you'd create a radation that goes faster than electromagnetic speed (=lightspeed), you would practically go faster than time. And if that radiation is powerful enough, it could be used as a weapon.

Hmm, well the average powerstation might put out about 1-1.5 giga watts power. Couple together all the powerstations in the world, and we might get close! Accelerating particles to beyond lightspeed...E=MC� people!! You need more than a tera, peta, or exo watt then!

Anything is possible. Look what has scientist done so far. In the 60's there was no cds but they talked about it. And look we have cds and dvds. So scientist probably will discovery to create a phaser probably.
