The isomagnetic disintegrator was a shoulder-mounted directed-energy weapon used by the Federation Starfleet, similar to an ancient Human bazooka. The weapon fired purple energy bolts.
In 2375, isomagnetic disintegrators were part of the armory of the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E. Captain Jean-Luc Picard took ten isomagnetic disintegrators on his mission to help the Ba'ku resist forced resettlement. Lieutenant Commander Worf used one of the disintegrators to great effect against a pursuing landing team sent by the Son'a. A single hit to a rock near the four soldiers caused a heavy stun effect to all of them and some minor shrapnel damage from the stone fragments of the exploded rock. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
Several of these weapons were among the collection held in the menagerie previously owned by Kerner Hauze. Following Hauze's death, the USS Cerritos's Sam Rutherford, who was tasked with cataloguing the collection, noted the "old disintegrator" among the items. (LD: "Kayshon, His Eyes Open")
