Type 4 phaser

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

A type-4 phaser is a small ship-mounted phaser of a type generally used on shuttlecraft.

They were not normally installed on type-6 shuttlecraft during the year 2368 but could be fitted for special purposes. The phasers were located on the forward tips of the two warp nacelles. The Magellan, a shuttle from the USS Enterprise-D, was equipped with type-4 phaser emitters in order to chart the null space with a series of photon pulses in the J'naii star system.
