the original story was also in the 'Tales of Known Space' collection. Kzinti are way cooler than Klingons in my book....

That's where I first read it.

Back in 2002, when I was trying to collect all of the magazine appearances of A. Bertram Chandler stories, I ended up some random issues of old pulps that didn't contain Chandler stories which were bundled in eBay lots with magazines I wanted. One lot included the issue of Worlds of If that was the first publication of "the Soft Weapon." It was kind of cool, but I ended up selling it to a Niven collector.

My Chandler collecting was research for this: http://www.toddbehr.com/chandler/chandler.htm. I haven't updated it in 4 years, and it was primitive even for the time it was created. But I'm not a web designer, just a fan...
