Talk:Death ray

I bet it shoots Dick Chaney's corpse when it strikes earth. Paximilian 02:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

When the PC uses the Death Ray, judging by the bodies of water that look like the Great Lakes, with Michigan and Ontario jutting out, and based on where the actual laser detonates, I'd say that we probably just took out Ronto.

i hope it hit Idaho. Screw Idaho.

You'd think that after firing at earth with this thing you'd get a massive amount of negative karma. The blast must have killed someone lol.--92.23.114.87 20:18, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

probably insane
we need the base ID for this weapon..i mean imagine, using a weapon, that has the devastating power of this ray, if there is an id it'd be impossible to fire the weapon anyway(since explosion is size of Texas id assume no matter WHERE you aimed ud get blown to shit unless u had god mode on) but i mean, this weapon surpasses full sized nukes by a long shot, we NEED this weapon, lol i mean really, i want to shoot some laser rifle that exploded like that, i mean you'd be able to take out your anger on the world, its like LW:hello Mr. Citadel guard, do you mind if i enter? Guard:hell no, your a commoner, get the fuck out of here. LW:you know what? I'm tired of you dicks telling me what i can and cant do, see you in hell!!!*pulls out radio and calls mother-ship to fire upon the citadel*Toolazytomakeaaccount 23:34, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

-- .... im assuming that if you had broken steel (or do have broken steel) that you would choose to destroy the citedel with and orbital strike.

nah i didnt blow it up, too many downsides for one stupid pistol anyway, still i would enjoy the thought of blowing up say, any various locations--Toolazytomakeaaccount 10:02, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Awesome alternative to Broken Steel
Imagine if you could take out the sattelite that destroys liberty prime with the death ray, ultimatley preventing the death of liberty prime, then you could use the death ray to take out the enclave crawler. Post-apocalyptic-guy 12:15, November 28, 2009 (UTC) User:Post-apocalyptic-guy

Because a big ass laser cannon is a localized strike that wouldn't ruinate a larger area than one complex and just the crawler, amirite?24.1.34.230 20:30, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

...  I guess your right. that thing would problably destroy the whole capital wasteland.. (24.161.144.250 22:04, December 20, 2009 (UTC))

Hell yeah it would! It says the blast spans 355 miles, and the accesable Capital Wasteland is 16 by 16 miles.--With care and happiness,  Supermutantslayer450'  ROAR  03:45, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Image of blast area
Based on the info available in the article and what I can remember from doing MZ myself, here's an estimate of the blasts area on earth from the Death ray. If anyone can make a better version they're more than welcome. -- Duskey talk 15:49, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

According to that estimate the pitt got hit. I definatly don't remember showing up at the pit to find out it got glassed by a massive alien death ray. - 86.139.1.190 20:35, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe just Maybe
What if in the course of mother ship zeta you blew up so many generators that you DID disable the death ray but in order to use it again you needed to get power from other parts of the ship (this explains why you cant get back to some areas of the ship)

Maybe the reason you don't get Negative Karma...
Maybe its because the targeted area is either uninhabited or if it is inhabited maybe it is just with feral ghouls or super mutants or some other evil faction which is actually a good thing to wipe out. Even if there are some good inhabitants of the region it could be that they are greatly outnumbered by the evil inhabitants and therefore it balances itself out karmically speaking. --99.181.120.194 03:09, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
