Need to hunt for survival? Kill *and cook* your game at the same time with this baby.
Pinned down by enemy fire? Take away their cover and probably take them out in the process with a max power shot.
Need to capture an opponent alive? Stun their ass and send them to nappy times, so you can secure them without resistance.
Find yourself in a cave and in need to warm up, maybe dry out some wet clothing? no problemo! Just warm up a nice stack of rocks, so you don't need to build an oxygen-sucking fire, or give away your position with smoke.
About the only thing you'll really have a problem with are the Borg, since they have adapative shields. You only get a few shots before they adapt, then you better be able to change pulse frequencies or outrun them, else you become one with the Collective.
