Disable his/her handgun! KGT
nISwI' HIch Sen
fire the disruptor pistol. (HQ 10.2)
KGT 56: A disruptor pistol or hand-held disruptor (and there are several models of these) is a {nISwI' HIch} ... The more general term {pu'}, phaser, may also apply to the Klingon disruptor, but it is used just as often to refer to the Romulan disruptor, Federation phaser, and other similar devices. Since the word is short, {pu'} is heard frequently--even more frequently than {nISwI'} - especially in the throes of combat, in such formations as {pu'HIch} ("phaser pistol")
N.B. {HIch} "pistol" has nothing to do with a {HIchDal} "airlock"!
