ray-guns
Sci-fi zapping weapons
Ray-guns are fictional weapons that fire beams of energy rather than bullets—a staple of science fiction since the early twentieth century.
The hyphenated form preserves the retro-futuristic flavor of pulp magazines and B-movies: The alien invaders wielded ray-guns.
Also spelled as one word or two.
