The big, simple difference between phasers and photon torpedoes is that the torpedoes pack more of a punch and there's a limited number of them on a ship.

Photon torpedoes are the ship's "heavy weapon."

But you can blow shite up with either. A ship's phaser array is nothing to laugh at in the Star Trek universe.

What get me is, photon torpedoes are said to have a 1.5kg anti-matter/matter warhead, which is enough for an enormously large explosion. Yet, on the tv shows and movies it looks like a couple of Molotov cocktails impacting the ship.
