I has initially proposed a "disruptor" type weapon that would have this
sort of effect. Let's say that the response was underwhelming.

In the specific case of spinal mounts, I'd advise against it because a
devastating hit from a large spinal weapon SHOULD force some thresholds.
It
is possible, using vertical damage, that the ship wouldn't roll a single
one, even after taking a massive amount of damage.
