The tramp merchant frieghters in The Shattered Stars, a book in which
tramp merchants are always on the edge of insolvency due to intrinsic
elements of the economy, use photon drives whose output is measured 
in the Hiroshimas per minute. Because handing stressed people death
rays is always a good idea.

It isn't that surprising when it turns out weapons of planetary 
destruction aren't that hard to steal. 

One of Ben Bova's later works solves the population bomb by secretly
installing in every woman a fertility cap that ensures they will have
no more than two babies. Which is to say, by dooming the human species,
since not every woman will have two kids and not every kid will survive.
