Talk:List of weapons in Star Trek

message: Removed borg example under laser section. I don't know why people keep adding this noncanon data to star trek wiki's.  NONE of the weapon systems were ever exactly specified by the crewmembers during q who or best of both worlds.  They generally describe them like "cutting beam" (q who) and "kind of magnetic pulse charge"(bobw).  Maybe someone could pull up an episode that actually contains evidence of borg using lasers against federation vessels?  It is not in either of the episodes I stated...maybe somewhere in voyager?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.253.228 (talk) 02:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Laser 

message: The description of the term "phaser" as related to maser is quite interesting.  I thought I read in the 1999 (ish) edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia that it was a play on the term LASER: Photon emission through the Stimulated Emission of Radiation - I'll have to check this later.
However, in The Cage, which did not premiere until 1988, they actually used laser pistols, which seems to contradict the information in the article suggesting that lasers were not seen as powerful.  Can anyone cite the "production notes?" Michael Sheflin (talk) 20:41, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  photon grenade launcher 

message: *Pulse cannons: What is the "newly designed NX class", and when was it new? (ie in which episode? ST:Enterprise) It's the same issue as the one not to write "recently" in WP articles, but rather "as of August 2011". As I see it, there is no "NX class" either. NX vessels are experimental vessels, often one-of-a-kind.
*The image titled "several Bat'leths" cuts into the second line of final Bat'leth paragraph slightly. 1st line ends with "Kahless, Who" on my screen, 2nd line ends with "lock". The 'right foot' of the k is behind the upper left corner of afore mentioned picture. (Is that a more general bug somewhere in the formatting? Report to VP:T?)
*D'ktahg: there is a huge space (~5 lines of regular text) between the heading and the 1st paragraph "A d'ktahg is..." (same bug as above???)
*Qutluch: "It is known in the real world as the "Phoenix" type knife." I was unable to find anything good about "Phoenix" knives. Might be an empty spot on WP's usually flawless coverage of weapons. Anyone? - ¡Ouch! (hurt me / more pain) 12:30, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article class 

message: I was reading about photon torpedoes and a question came up about the explosive yield of these weapons. The article measures the yields in isotons. Going through the list of orders of magnitude, I couldn't find the prefix iso anywhere. If this is a fictional order of magnitude, I think we should mention that. Or if it is real, maybe we should link it to something or give a number using a magnitude that is more commonly recognized like mega or giga tons.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.4.49 (talk) 01:40, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
