{{cquote|''The Ray Gun can hit enemies from a distance with its long-range laser shot. Unfortunately, it's only a 16-shooter.''|cite=''Super Smash Bros.'' instruction booklet}}
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 green lasers it fires have high [[knockback]] and a medium fire rate.

==Overview==
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. In ''Ultimate'', its lasers launch at a more vertical angle in order to prevent sideways kills that could be done in previous titles. Additionally, they now deal [[weight-independent]] knockback.

==Damage Table==
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 the shot can deal kinetic impacts, leave burn marks, or even vaporize matter on contact.

==Spirits==
Equipping any of the following [[support spirit]]s will give the player a Ray Gun at a start of their stock.

==Trophies==
===''Melee'' trophy===
{{trophy
|name=Ray Gun
|desc=The Ray Gun is toy-like in appearance and shoots short, fat, highly reflective beams of green light. The gun is fairly weak, but since it fires so fast, it can easily juggle enemies. 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.

===''Brawl'' trophy===
{{trophy
|name=Ray Gun
|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.

With the right timing, the rapid-fire green lasers can juggle fighters in the air, and they have the range to push foes off the stage. Unfortunately, even future weapons only have so much ammo.

|desc-pal=Grab one of these to instantly feel like you could be fighting the battles of the future! The rapid-fire green lasers can be used to juggle fighters in the air if you've got good enough timing, and they've also got the range to push fighters off the stage from a distance. You get limited shots, though, so don't get too carried away by the future!

==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.
*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, which is retained in ''Brawl''.
*In the Japanese version of ''Smash 64'', the Ray Gun is mistranslated as the "Lay Gun", due to [[wikipedia:Perception of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese speakers|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".
*The concept of the Spirit ability of Axl from the ''Mega Man X series'' to equip the player with the Ray Gun in ''Ultimate'' is a slight reference to the ''Mega Man X'' franchise. In ''Mega Man X7'' and expanded upon in ''Mega Man X8'', Axl had the ability to acquire various firearms like flamethrowers and gatling guns by defeating bosses. In particular, the weapon gained by defeating Tornado Tonion (in ''Mega Man X7'') and Optic Sunflower (in ''Mega Man X8'') is also called the Ray Gun. Much like with the one from the ''Super Smash Bros. series'', it also fires lasers, but unlike the ''Smash'' Ray Gun which fires laser "bullets", his acts as a piercing, multi-hitting laser. Axl also used the Ray Gun to use the Special Weapon Mega Man X gains from Tornado Tonion, the Volt Tornado.
