| - In 2356, at the age of just thirteen, Kira Nerys knew how to operate a Bajoran phaser rifle and became involved in an ambush of Cardassian soldiers. She later recalled that during the mission, she continued firing until the power cell was completely discharged. (DS9: "The Darkness and the Light") In 2371, several Bajoran troopers were armed with these phaser rifles while tracking Shakaar Edon and supporters of his resistance cell in the Dahkur Hills. (DS9: "Shakaar")
- Based on the standard Bajoran phaser pistol, this phaser rifle adaptation used the same phaser pistol technology used in the smaller weapon has similar adaptations as other Bajoran weapons, foregoing a prefire chamber and instead using six pinpoint energy beams that precede the weapon blast as a prefire matrix, focusing the discharge after it leaves the weapon. This is the main dissimilarity between Bajoran weapons and their Federation Starfleet counterparts that utilize a built-in prefire chamber.

This is the main dissimilarity between Bajoran weapons and their Federation Starfleet counterparts that utilize a built-in prefire chamber. Bajoran phaser weapons use a rechargeable isotolinium ampule as a power battery, although some units of this type have been retrofit with sarium krellide energy cells in order to be used with Starfleet chargers. Early models of the rifle unit, besides being ruggedized, also utilize a sensor that acts as a seeker/tracker, using infrared radiation and biogenic profiling to discriminate fire against Cardassian lifesigns, in order to cut down on friendly fire against Bajoran comrades. After the end of the Occupation of Bajor, this feature fell into disuse. Aboard Starbase Deep Space 9, Bajoran phaser weapons are regulated by the space station computer to setting 3, heavy stun, in order to prevent personnel violence and also to avoid damage to the station hull in case of misfires or abuse.

(DS9: "Shakaar") In 2372, during the First Battle of Deep Space 9, several of Constable Odo's Bajoran deputies used these phaser rifles to defend the station from Klingon boarders. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior") Later that year, Major Kira equipped herself with a Bajoran phaser rifle during a mission to locate the crashed Cardassian freighter Ravinok, that was carrying Bajoran prisoners. (DS9: "Indiscretion") The script for DS9: "The Muse" has a Bajoran deputy armed with a phaser rifle in the scene where Captain Sisko attempts to locate Onara and his son, Jake, in the maintenance tubes. In the final episode, however, this was changed to a Starfleet security officer with a Starfleet phaser rifle. [1] In 2374, as part of the Federation Alliance mission to retake Deep Space 9 from Dominion forces, Constable Odo assembled a security team comprising deputies with phaser rifles to combat Cardassian and Jem'Hadar troops on the station. During one engagement, his team rescued Major Kira and Rom after they had been pinned down by weapons fire, much to their welcome surprise. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels") In 2377, the USS Voyager encountered an Hirogen outpost that had been modified using holographic technology given to them by Captain Kathryn Janeway three years prior. The outpost served as a "hunting ground" where Hirogen hunters could seek out holographic programs to satisfy their desire to kill. As the holographic technology given to them was of Federation origin, it was capable of simulating many Alpha Quadrant species. Iden, a Bajoran hologram, used the Bajoran phaser rifle during a fight against Hirogen hunters. (VOY: "Flesh and Blood") In 2378, as a part of The Doctor's holo-novel Photons Be Free, Captain Jenkins had a Bajoran phaser rifle mounted on the wall behind her desk in the ready room of the fictional USS Vortex.
