THE DAILY FUDD: E159: "A call for 'Star Fudd,' at least by 24th-century standards -- A case calling for projectile, not directed-energy, arms."

Be it a revolver, an AR15, or a M249, the throwback weapon would have won this battle for the crew of Voyager.

(No, I haven't seen the whole episode, so I have no idea how it turns out at all.)

From Memory Alpha regarding the Voth:

"What appeared to be a dampening field was capable of rendering tricorders, communicators, and phasers useless."

But likely not a good lever-action.
