KGT p56:
The verb used for "shoot" when referring to disrupters is bach.  Technically 
speaking, one shoots the energy beam from the disrupter. (...) Thus, the 
correct formation is nISwI' tIH bach ("shoot the disrupter beam").  As a 
practical matter, however, the tIH is often left out, and nISwI' bach is the 
common way to say "shoot a disrupter."
