Its actually a reference to the classic gladiator match up with side order of trek in joke's.

I must be one of the few HN commentator apart form Matt Cuts who has ever studied the classics.

I was wondering if the explicit naming of the weapons was supposed to refer to that exact scene in the Kubrick movie. Which, given it was one of the triggers of the slave rebellion make the original email seem possibly quite weird.
