Mike,
>You remind me of phasors in Star Trek - they only had two settings: Stun or Kill. I was expecting more options - say "set phasors to melancholy" !!

They corrected this oversight in the later series. There were 16 different levels. They had multiple levels of stun probably corresponding to different species and then multiple levels beyond that for kill and total disintegration. Woohoo!!
