Developed after the introduction of VX armor made Phaser weapons less effective. the BPPE is become a staple of the Delta Force and it's auxiliaries. While not as tough as mainstay weapons of many armies, the BPPE has a unique purpose. Like most of the energy weapons, it has the ability to kill, but unlike many armies the BPP can also stun most lifeforms. A less than lethal option is desirable in a hand weapon as it allows a more measured approach to conflicts.

The older phaser light machine guns, usually positioned on it's flat tripod, required a gun crew of four operators.  In theory they could fire 400-600 bolts per minute, a figure that was to more than double by the end of the Tzenkethi War.

The reality however was that these early machine guns would rapidly overheat and become inoperative. It took a generational leap in cooling technology for the phaser type of LMG to overcome deficiencies. It's standard practice to fire in bursts to limit the heat the weapon does gain and to conserve energy. With the newer advancements in PPE, this weapon maintains it's edge.
