The Phaser prop used in filming Star Trek: First Contact was commonly known as the “boomerang” Phaser on the set because of its curved, ergonomic design. The “boomerang” Phaser prop was used as the primary Starfleet hand weapon in Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Insurrection, and it was worn as a background prop in Star Trek: Nemesis. It also appeared in several seasons of Deep Space Nine and Voyager.

The first Phaser props with functioning power settings were created for filming Star Trek: First Contact. The prop designers hollowed out a casting of a static Phaser prop to make room for the addition of electronics and a custom circuit board that provided the realistic functionality the producers wanted. The actors were able to power-up and power-down the Phaser lights by pressing buttons on the prop thus creating the illusion of a functioning Phaser on-screen.
