Description: The EM pistol, also called the EM-33 Plasma Pistol, was the standard issue EM weapon used by Earth's Starfleet officers and the Earth Cargo Service personnel during the mid-22nd century.

While most Starfleet officers had only received training in the use of EM weapons, by 2151, the EM-33 fell out of use aboard Starfleet vessels in favor of the phase-pistol. (ENT: "Broken Bow") One of the disadvantages of the EM-33 was the need to compensate for particle drift, making the transition to the next generation, point-and-shoot phased pulse weapons difficult for some Starfleet personnel. (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs")

The weapon also remained in use aboard Earth Cargo Authority vessels like the ECS Fortunate, as it was seen in the hands of Matthew Ryan. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
