Well admittedly disruptors are the most common energy weapons in the Star Trek universe, used by not only the Klingons and Romulans, but many other species as well.

True, they are probably the easiest to produce and most versatile energy weapons. Phasers are mostly used by federation because they can be modified and used in a variety of ways not always as weapons either.

True, the in-canon explanation I always liked as to why the Federation doesn't use them, is because they have three different settings.

- Kill
- Kill with prejudice
- Kill and make it hurt
