It's the trigger - like a weedwhacker. The actual firing mechanism is on the bottom of the handle. You use your little finger. Any small children or pre-warp civilizations just assume it's designed to be convenient and fumble about uselessly. Nah: if Starfleet can't make a dangerous tool smart enough to say no, they make using it a pain in the ass.
