While the Star Trek universe is stuffed with many powerful weapons and dangerous technologies, one fan has outlined what they see as the most deadly weapon in the United Federation of Planets' arsenal.
Star Trekhas been at the forefront of driving the general view of science fiction technology since its inception in the 1960s, with each new entry in the franchise giving fans more and more futuristic devices, systems, and techniques to accomplish everything from solving world hunger to crossing galaxies. One of the more prominent ways that sci-fi properties show off this advancement is with weapons and how potent they can be. Despite the utopian trappings of the Federation, it still has its fair share of bizarre futuristic weapons seen across mediums, which fans have discussed at length and ranked over the years.
While there is certainly no shortage of weapons in Star Trek with the capacity to do some wicked damage, Reddit user FatherBobby has a unique pick for which of the Federation's armaments should be considered its deadliest weapon. Taking to the site’s r/startrek board to post his controversial opinion in a post titled “Shower thought… The Federation's most deadly weapon is...”, the user would answer… the transporter.

Wanna take out a Borg ship? Just transport a nearby asteroid directly into the path of the ship, kinda like a railgun. Transport the air into space and suffocate everyone. So many possibilities.
While it should be easy enough to explain how the Star Trek transporter works, as the transporter breaks down the objects or organisms into an energy pattern via a process named dematerialization and then rematerializes them at the destination, it isn’t all that straightforward. The franchise's long-running nature has led to quite several occasional exceptions to the usual rules surrounding the tech, a point that other fans in the comments were quick to note. Another popular comment mentioned the Genesis Device, a well-meaning weapon of mass destruction designed to
