On both the Dead Ops Arcade maps, the Ray Gun does no splash damage to the player whatsoever. Although it is less effective at long ranges (as the 'ray' moves slowly compared to other guns), it is pinpoint accurate.

It is sometimes disliked because of its splash damage therefore many players tend to buy PhD Flopper. The Ray Gun's appearance is of a generic '50s science-fiction film ray gun.The Ray Gun is a favorable weapon due to its one-hit kill strength (up to round 20-25 depending on game).
