I think something was mentioned about weapons before the ship blew up, but I'd need to watch the ep to be sure.

I checked the DITL entry too. My thinking is that even the Oberth has phasers, primarily for non-offensive purposes, and we've seen non-offensive uses even for GCS phasers - presumably any ship would have them equipped for utilitarian purposes, especially considering the fact that we've seen no indication of a unilateral convention like the modern one Seafort mentioned.

Good point. Is there a use for modern weapons other than as weapons?

Target shooting, and even that's derived from their primary purpose - to kill.

So having phasers on board a hospital ship would be fine. They have frequently been used outside of the weapon category.

Nope. As Seafort said, their only other usage is basically practice for their usage to kill stuff.

That's why the early TNG type-II's were so ridiculous. A weapon that's not built like a weapon becomes a poor weapon.

Damn. Why didn't I think of that? :D
