Hypothetical spacecraft sidearms and hull penetration

What weapons would a future Space Force use?

It depends on the technology and date. For an immediate hypothetical force, a dart gun is suggested to avoid penetrating the spacecraft's hull.

The choice of weapon depends on how far into the future the imagined force operates. Phasers are jokingly suggested for a century ahead, while a dart gun is proposed for a force equipped with present-day technology. The stated concern is stopping an opponent without piercing the hull and creating another danger aboard the spacecraft. The proposed dart gun remains a speculative design suggestion.
