"The Ray Gun's advantage is....huh design?"

for me its a large part of what makes the ray gun fun/good to me, but its also extremely helpful to keep with you and use whenever you have ammo for it in the very high rounds (like 70s-90s), at least in in black ops zombies (the mobile game; never could get into the high rounds in the console version). its high damage is essential then, or else you take up pretty much all your ammo - magazine and reserve - attempting to kill one zombie. then you have nothing left to use except your knife, which, is terrible unless you have the bowie knife or sickle. only other better things to have in those high rounds is one of the other wonder weapons, like the thundergun (especially).
