A torpedo is the enforcer a shot caller sends when somebody needs to be put on the ground. He doesn't ask why — he gets pointed at a target and delivers the beating, stabbing, or worse. Think hired muscle, except the currency is gang loyalty and the contract is permanent.
"The keys gave the word and two torpedoes came down the tier for him at chow."
