Bat'leth

The Bat'leth is the symbol of Klingon honor and strength. It is probably the most widely recognized Klingon weapon in existence, and is definitely the most sought-after. It derives its name from the klingon words for Honor (leth) and sword (bat'), thus making it the Sword of Honor.

The legends of Kahless the Unforgettable say that the bat'leth was created when he took a lock of his hair and dipped it first into the volcano at Kri'stak, next into the fiery river of Lusore, and then twisted it into a sword which he used to kill Molor the tyrant.

Daqtagh

The Daqtagh, also called the Klingon Ceremonial Blade, is a large knife designed to inflict extra damage on impaling attacks. It has two small 'arms' that snap out into position before combat begins. These arms are designed to increase the amount of impaling damage.

ChonnaQ

The ChonnaQ spear has a large, oddly-shaped blade set on a short thick shaft into which are carved a regular series of notches. The butt of the shaft has two animal fangs set into it. Because of its large head, it does more damage than similarly-sized spears. It is used entirely for combat.

Kut'luch

The kut'luch is a large knife with a serrated blade that leaves a nasty wound. It is usually used by assassins, and as such is frequently poisoned. It can be considered the "dishonorable" counterpart to the d'k tahg.

Meq'etlh

A single handed weapon shorter blade than the bat'telh of approximately 52.5cm in length. Used in both the reverse grip and the traditional grip. Meq'etlh means "Sword of Reason", or literally, "Reason Sword".

Qa'vak

The qa'vak spear is a slim metal javelin used in the Klingon game of qa'vak, the object of which is to hurl the spear through the center of a half-meter hoop rolled through a series of stakes. This is considered essential training for the Klingon ceremonial hunt, which is performed using the qa'vak spears.

Disruptors

Also known as a Phase Disruptor, these weapons are in common use throughout the alpha quadrant. They follow the same basic principle as the Federation Phaser in that they cause the target to transition violently out of this continuum. But the Disruptor uses slow nadions rather than rapid nadions in generating the energy beam. This gives the disruptor a considerably lower energy conversion efficiency than the Starfleet phaser. This is partially offset by a moderate reduction in the size of the hardware required for the weapon itself - the space freed up by this allows a higher power weapon to be installed in the same space. The Federation phaser is therefore considered to be more sophisticated and generally more effective than the disruptor, which relies on brute power to overcome its efficiency failings.

Like phasers, disruptor weapons can fire sustained beams or pulses depending on the exact configuration of the hardware. One major drawback to this type of weapon is that no user has been able to develop the efficiency of the system to a point where individual emitters can be linked via force coupling. Recent warship designs by the Klingons have instead concentrated on building ever larger and more powerful single emitter weapons, culminating in the two giant disruptor cannon fitted to the IKS meH'Haj and the rest of the Neigh'Var class.

An older version of a distuptor pistol used in Star Trek The Original Series.  The disruptor is the Klingon Empire's ship-mounted weaponry as well as its troops' sidearms. Like all directed-energy weaponry, they are neutralized by tetryon particles.

One of the many variants of disruptor pistols used within the Empire.

Disruptor energy rifle, with an extension for shoulder support.
