Boolean gun

The boolean gun was a type of large and bulky hand-held directed energy weapon used by personnel of Section 31 of Starfleet in the late 2250s of the alternate reality. Despite its size, the weapon could be operated with a single hand and was carried with a shoulder strap.

When activated, the boolean gun produced powerful bright streams of energy and a loud roaring noise. The energy streams could slice through and vaporize holes into anything they were targeted at, from personnel to starship hulls.

History
In 2259 of the alternate reality, Khan Noonien Singh took one of these weapons with him when he used a portable transwarp beaming device to transport himself from Earth to Qo'noS. When Khan discovered that the USS Enterprise was possibly carrying his entire surviving crew of augments from the Botany Bay, he defended the away team sent to apprehend him with his boolean gun.''

Khan used the gun to attack the Klingon soldiers of three D4 class patrol ships. He used the boolean gun to slice through one of the D4 ships cockpits causing the front end of the small ship to explode. The ship instantly lost altitude, spiraled out of control and crash landed. Khan saved Kirk from a Klingon soldier, who had knocked Kirk down and was standing over him, with his boot on Kirk's face. The boolean gun instantly burnt and vaporized away the upper half of the Klingon soldiers body. Along with a rapid-fire phaser rifle, and a knife, Khan used the boolean gun to take out dozens of Klingon soldiers. He even used the bulky weapon in hand-to-hand combat to knock down a Klingon soldier.

Khan used the gun against another Klingon patrol ship that was in the process of deploying more troops. The beam sliced into the ship causing it to explode mid-air. The wreck explosively crash landed killing all the troops within. He used the boolean gun to massacre several of the remaining Klingons. The weapon instantly burned holes approximately a meter in diameter into the Klingons bodies. Khan dropped the boolean gun behind before killing the last of the surviving Klingons with his other weapons.
