I moved this to STGOD; because I have fond memories of that TIE Fighter Paint Adventure on Something AWful.

RIKER: Use WIDEBEAM PHASER SETTING on the defenders of the SHOULDERPAD WAREHOUSE
Marcus Aurelius: ...the Swedish S-tank; the exception is made mostly because the Swedes insisted really hard that it is a tank rather than a tank destroyer or assault gun Ilya Muromets: And now I have this image of a massive, stern-looking Swede staring down a bunch of military nerds. "It's a tank." "Uh, yes Sir. Please don't hurt us."

It is never a good idea in a fight to throw a perfectly good and working gun at someone.
In fact, deliberately disarming yourself in a fight is in general never a good idea.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

However, there is a BIRD OF PREY headed towards Earth.

To be fair, in this case the phaser is not "perfectly good and working;" it has been deliberately sabotaged and is about to explode.
Giving a present to your enemy in the middle of the battle becomes less stupid when the present in question is ticking and/or has a burning fuse.
"Here. Hold this bomb, please." It may be Looney Tunes tactics, but it's better than handing them a gun to shoot you with.

I was focusing more on the aspect of 'you had a perfectly functioning gun, now you do not.' than the aspect of 'your enemy now has your gun'. Ie, you are in a gunfight without a gun as a result. Then again this is a rather silly thread. so i have no objections to CN's suggestion being implemented provided the effect of being unarmed while people with guns and objectionable dispositions may still be around is properly explored.
He does have a PREPOSTEROUS AMOUNT OF WEED, it should be enough to hotbox the entire ship alright, I second doing that.

This odyssey, this, exodus. Do we journey toward the promised land, or into the valley of the kings?
