The '''Ray Gun''' ({{ja|レイガン|Rei Gan}}, ''Ray Gun'') is a long-range weapon used in all games of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
The '''Ray Gun''' ({{ja|レイガン|Rei Gan}}, ''Ray Gun'') is a long-range weapon used in all four games of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. The green lasers it fires have high [[knockback]] and a medium fire rate.


==Overview==
==Overview==
A Ray Gun can be shot 16 times before it runs out of ammunition. The shots can be reflected or absorbed, while the gun itself (when thrown) can only be reflected. In the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' the shots deal 10% [[electric]] [[damage]] per shot, vertical [[knockback]], and can be fired every 30 [[frame]]s (0.5 seconds). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' each shot deals 4% without electricity, horizontal knockback, and can be fired every 30 frames. The horizontal knockback allows it to easily [[juggle]] opponents at low percents or to carry them to the [[blast line]] at mid percents. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' the shots deal 5%, [[weight-independent]] vertical knockback, can be fired every 25 frames (0.41<span style="text-decoration:overline">6</span> seconds). The changes to knockback make it impractical for scoring [[KO]]s outside of [[gimp]]ing recoveries&mdash;being unable to KO on its own until 400%&mdash;but makes it better suited to racking up damage.
A Ray Gun can be shot 16 times before it runs out of ammunition. Each shot does minor [[damage]] (between 2-4% in ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' but 10% in ''[[Smash 64]]''). One of the better combo weapons, it causes enough knockback to [[juggle]] an opponent multiple times, and can even be used to [[KO]] an offstage opponent at low damage percentages if the shots are timed correctly, as well as carry an opponent past the side [[blast line]]s on stages with walk-off blast lines, especially in ''Brawl''. It has much higher knockback and damage in ''Smash 64'' than in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. One of [[List of bonuses|the available bonuses]] in ''Melee'' is "Laser Marksman", which means every blast from a single gun made contact with an enemy. The Ray Gun's projectiles can be reflected or absorbed, while the gun itself (when thrown) can only be reflected. Like other shooting items in ''Brawl'', characters can move while firing.


Starting in ''Brawl'', (along with other shooting items) the Ray Gun can be fired while [[walk]]ing.

In ''Brawl'', the momentum of a projectile will affect the damage a character will receive; these are recorded in bounces.

Note: The Ray Gun will not bounce twice on some throws that have too little momentum, making some second bounces unable to be recorded.

==Origin==
The {{iw|wikipedia|raygun}} is a common weapon in science fiction media. Instead of using solid ammunition, the raygun uses focused blasts of energy to deal damage. Depending on the purpose, the energy blasts can deal kinetic impacts, leave burn marks, or even vaporize matter on contact.

It contains enough energy for only 16 shots. Try dropping it with a few shots left and watch your foes waste time and energy retrieving it.

|desc=A gun that shoots rays of light, as the name suggests. Its fat shape is not very realistic--in fact, it looks more like a toy than anything else. Its beams aren't very strong; they're fast and hard to dodge. In addition, they juggle whomever they hit in midair, making it possible to hit with one beam after another. By the way, it only holds 16 shots. When it's empty, you can throw it.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', [[CPU]] players will never fire the gun at {{SSB|Fox}} or {{SSB|Ness}}, since they can [[Reflector|reflect]] and [[PSI Magnet|absorb]] the beams, respectively. They will instead throw the gun.
*In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', [[CPU]] players will never fire the gun at Fox or Ness, due to the fact those two can [[Reflector|reflect]] and [[PSI Magnet|absorb]] the beams, respectively. They will instead throw the gun at opponents.
*The Ray Gun's firing sound in ''Smash 64'' is rather loud and deep, sounding more like a bazooka or a cannon than a gun. ''Melee'' altered the noise to sound much weaker and more laser-like, which is retained in ''Brawl''.

*In the Japanese version of ''Smash 64'', the Ray Gun is mistranslated as the "Lay Gun", due to the closest phoneme in the Japanese language being between [[wikipedia:Perception of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese speakers|the English "R" and "L" sounds]].
*In the Japanese version of ''Smash 64'', the Ray Gun is mistranslated as the "Lay Gun" due to the Japanese language having the "R" and "L" sounds merged into one.
*The Ray Gun featured from ''Smash 4'' onwards has a mirrored [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Super Smash Bros.'' logo]] on the muzzle of the gun: one of the tips in ''Ultimate'' mentions that this allows players to "burn the logo into their enemies".
