The idea of a ray-gun was first introduced by H.G. Wells in his book, The War of the Worlds, in 1898.
If you are a fan of sci-fi and the Call of Duty franchise, then you must be familiar with Treyarch’s Ray Gun, which has become quite popular among gamers. Here are some fascinating facts about the Ray Gun and its various versions:
The Biggest Annoyance in World at War
With the introduction of the Zombies mode in World at War, Treyarch also introduced the Mystery Weapon Box that offers players a chance to spend in-match credits on a random weapon from the box. While most of the weapons are terrible, the Ray Gun is the most powerful weapon in Zombies and can kill in one shot up to Round 18.
World at War’s Saving Grace
The Ray Gun is a powerful weapon that fires beautiful bluey-green rays and runs on batteries called ‘Atomic Cold Cells’. It was created by scientist H. Porter of the mysteries Group 935. The Pack-a-Punch version of the Ray Gun is called the Porter’s X2 Ray Gun.
Black Ops II Remodels the Ray Gun
The successor of the Ray Gun, the Ray Gun Mark II was introduced with the Black Ops II: Vengeance DLC. This weapon has three-round burst fire, double the mag capacity, and a different type of ammo, which means no splashback damage and shots that penetrate multiple zombies.
The Ray Gun’s Inspiration
The ray-gun is an iconic symbol of science-fiction, and its idea was introduced in H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds over 100 years ago.
The Heat-Ray was a weapon used by the Martian spaceships in Wells’ novel, which behaved like a modern-day laser and incinerated everything in its path. The beam was invisible and created in a chamber before being focused and projected through a parabolic mirror. After the publication of “The War of the Worlds”, energy weapons began appearing in pulp fiction novels and comics like “Buck Rodgers”, with toys based on the disintegrator ray becoming popular in the 1930s. The Nazis attempted to develop Wonder Weapons during World War II, including sonic weapons and directed-beam laser weapons. However, they never managed to mass-produce them, but Han Solo’s Blaster from “Star Wars” is based on the German Mauser P-96 pistol. Laser pistols and atomic ray-guns became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, with most of the toys being based on popular weapons from sci-fi movies or books. The phasers in “Star Trek” had different settings and could perform various functions, including welding doors shut or cutting holes in things.
