Ray Splasher

Ray Splasher (レイスプラッシャー) is the Special Weapon that X gains from defeating Neon Tiger in Mega Man X3. When uncharged, it fires a quick volley of seven energy bullets in a spread formation. When charged, X shoots a glass container upwards which randomly fires twenty-two Ray Splasher bullets in various directions before the glass container self-destructs.

Ray Splasher is Gravity Beetle and Godkarmachine O Inary's weakness, and this weapon is also effective against Byte, Press Disposer and Vile. In Vile and Byte's case, if X faces them before doing to Dr. Doppler's fortress, they must be struck with this weapon (or Spinning Blade and Tornado Fang, respectively) in order for them to be destroyed - and not just defeated - otherwise they must be fought again. Vile's Kangaroo Armor in the hidden factory stage also shares this weakness with Vile as well.
