"Death Ray" appears to be a catchall term for any particularly destructive ranged energy weapon, especially one created by a Spark. At a minimum, a ranged energy weapon would need to be lethal when applied to a human to qualify as a "death" ray.
Exactly what qualifies as "particularly destructive" probably is in the eye (or ear) of the beholder, to some degree. Agatha's little mountain-piercing ✣ ray gun is the reigning champion. André's Sonic Gun may or may not qualify, depending on one's standards. Projectile weapons like the Clank guns and Gil's Runcible Gun wouldn't qualify, regardless of their destructive capacity.
Examples of death rays[]
- Agatha Heterodyne's various great[1] big[2] monster-killing[3] guns
- Gilgamesh Wulfenbach's lightning generator system
- Von Bode's rogue Spider Clank in the wastelands had a fairly impressive energy beam. [4]
- Real live directing device for a death ray of any size.
