photon torpedoes
Light-based space weapons
Photon torpedoes are fictional weapons in the Star Trek universe—self-propelled projectiles that release antimatter on impact, producing devastating explosions.
The term has become shorthand in science fiction and casual speech for any advanced energy-based weaponry: The ship fired photon torpedoes at the enemy vessel.
Sometimes used humorously for disproportionate responses: Don't go launching photon torpedoes over a parking spot.
