Firearms are the medium tech weapons in Space Opera. Lasers blasters and fusion guns are higher tech. Disruptors, particularly energy disruptors are the really fancy stuff. Blasters blast things up. Disruptors screw things up, make them fall apart, disintegrate them.
Disruptors work on either sonic or magic energy principles. Sonic disruptors can be built to effect protein or metal. Higher tech (more expensive) energy versions can effect both. Stunners work on much the same principles. A combined disruptor and stunner weapon costs about one fourth more than a single function disruptor. The inspiration from Star Trek is obvious.
