The weapons in Star Trek generally don't make any sense. In some cases, they hit you with a ball of energy and leave a hole. In others, they vaporize you. An anticoagulant agent makes sense if you know your weapon won't instantly kill - a hit is good enough - but we see Dominion weapons totally fucking vaporize dudes in one situation and simply blast a hole in them in other situations.

I assumed it was a settings thing. Vaporization takes more energy to use and therefore less shots, but also boost lethality from 80% to 110%, the extra ten percent being that it removes the body for murder reasons.
 
It takes something like 3 gigajoules or 1 ton of TNT to fully vaporise a human body. Imagine the smell. Imagine the heat. Imagine you getting drenched in the quickly cooling gaseous contents that turn into liquid condensates. Well, whoever was vaporised is dead, but at least he told everyone in a five meter radius to go fuck themselves.

The Dominion wouldn't be the antagonist, it'd be the Ferengi. They'd be portrayed as even more villainous and evil than Captain Planet villains. Every episode would be the woke DS9 crew would defeat them through the power of wokeness and spend twenty minutes lecturing the Ferengi, who are stand-ins for the audience, about the evils of capitalism, profit, and having police officers. When Worf joins the crew he'll be vegan and wear a dress because Hollywood loves putting niggers in dresses.

In one of those "time is a flat circle" things, that was Gene's original plan during the insufferable early seasons of TNG. The he got old and creative control passed to people who realized how shit this idea was and dropped the Ferengi like a bad habit.

Every time Trek is about to vaporize somebody they do the exact same shot, it’s like some schmuck standing in front of a green screen.

But then in firefights it’s some stuntman going “AH!” and collapsing like Hulk Hogan taking a chair shot.

I know the bad guys always carry “disruptors” instead of “phasers,” which I guess use different ammunition? Fajo on TNG had this forbidden, back-alley disruptor pistol, the one they banned because it doesn’t even give you the mercy of a Wilhelm scream, it just turns you into an ashtray. That’s the only time I can remember a disruptor doing what phasers do.

Whatever. I'm pretty sure it’s “green beam = you’re dead, red beam = also dead but atomized."

It turns you into an ashtay, and it hurts as fuck while it's doing that. I think that's the reason why they banned it. That's a fucking ludicrous reason to ban a weapon, when every single other gun can do the same, but is operating on different principles. The Federation behaves like your coastal shitlib in this...

Painlessly flays the target's skull before humanely exploding his brain
 
I remember one of TNG's season-end two-parters explaining phasers don't vaporize people, but breaks them down into Technobabblium particles that dissipate harmlessly. The crew were scanning for them to determine if someone had died or been beamed out.

Re:Fajo's Varon-T:

The reason it was banned was because disintegrations are supposed to happen fast enough you don't even have time to feel pain. The Varon-T intentionally slowed your death down so you'd feel every moment of your cells burning away. This was considered inhumane, so it was banned.

Source: watched The Most Toys recently.

Like that one episode where O’Brien goes to Hell for twenty years in his head while his real body’s just taking a nap? The aliens are jerking each other off like “wow we really upheld the Geneva Convention here, what a humane punishment." It’s not murder if the tricorder says it's legally unassailable.:blart:
