Uh..Hmm. Let me put it as simply as I can.

Light gives off a small amount of heat. If that was cocentrated on a small area (take for example using a magnifying glass to focus the sun and burn stuff) That ray of light gains enough heat to set something on fire. There, you have your photon weapon.
Oh. That makes me feel stupid that I didn't understand that. Yea. I want to see a barbie caught on fire with a "photon" weapon.Tongue
