CRM 114

The CRM 114.

The CRM 114 is a hand-held directed energy weapon manufactured by the Breen, that is effective against both moving vehicles and surface emplacements. It is guaranteed to penetrate reactive armor in the 6-15 cm range and force-fields up to 4.6 gigajoules. One of the weapon's most popular features is the quick recharge. Such weapons were expensive, but extremely popular.

Quark sold 2,000 CRM 114's when he began working for weapons dealers Hagath and Gaila in 2373. (DS9: "Business as Usual")


Background

The name of the CRM-114 is a reference to the Stanley Kubrick film Dr._Strangelove. In the film the CRM114 is a message discriminator.

It is seemingly fitting to have a Kubrick reference in the episode as guest star Steven Berkoff (Hagath) played Tom in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, which starred Malcolm McDowell, who also happens to be the uncle of DS9 actor and episode director Alexander Siddig.
