Torpedoes are small circular projectiles that come in several colors which fade and get smaller the further they are from the ship that fired them. Torpedoes will also track their targets. Shaktur FireStorm torpedoes are green, and have relatively short range. Plasma Thunderbolt torpedoes are cyan (light silvery blue color). Post 30 in the Weapons Balancing thread shows an image with both torpedoes being fired, while post 29 shows an image with Plasma Thunderbolts being fired. Shockwave Torpedoes are light yellow, Velocity Shards are green (similar to Shaktur FireStorms, but longer-ranged and smaller). Epsilon Torpedoes are a reddish color.
Blasters are a short pulse weapon. Pulse and Maxos Blasters are red in color, and are displayed as a short, thin red line. Shatterforce Lasers are green in color and slightly larger than the Maxos Blasters, while Impact Assault Blasters are yellow in color and about twice as long and much thicker than the Shatterforce. Titan Beams are silver-blue (cyan) in color, have a distinctive teardrop shape, and are about the same size as the Impact Assault Blaster. Death Rays are unmistakable, being an enormously long green pulse.
Phasers (both lances and cannons) are reddish in color, and are represented as a continuous beam from the attacker to its target. Phaser Lance beams are somewhat thicker than Phaser Cannon beams, and can fire from much greater range.
Missiles show a projectile with an engine glow at the rear. Concussion Missiles are slightly larger than Seeker Missiles, but otherwise both weapons are visually similar with an orange-yellow engine glow. Assault Missiles are much larger than either of the other two missiles and have a blue engine glow.
Railguns are short-range weapons that fire a sort of diamond-shaped projectile. Long-range guns fire the smallest projectile, Massive Railguns fire the largest, and projectile sizes for heavy and standard railguns are in between, with heavy railguns firing larger projectiles than standard railguns.

You can also see pictures of some of the weapon effects in the Weapons Balancing thread. Post 26 shows the Impact Assault Blaster and Phaser Lance (Cannon?), Post 28 shows the Shatterforce Laser and Impact Assault Blaster, Post 29 shows the Plasma Thunderbolt, Post 30 shows the Plasma Thunderbolt and Shaktur FireStorm, Post 38 shows the Titan Beam and fighters, and Post 60 shows a Death Ray and Plasma Thunderbolts.
