Why are Trek weapons so weak?

Sean; You mentioned a while back when torpedo firepower came up that you would like to see a clip of the torpedo test from Genesis:

Its only 524KB (it's not fantastic quality), the other I made was 4.07MB as it contained all the preceeding dialogue for all those still doubting it was a geniuine weapon test (such as Worf's barely constrained glee at getting to play with new torpedos). DivX 5.0.2 codec is required.
