A pillar of science fiction tradition, the hand-held ray gun has been the weapon of choice for multiple generations of comic book supervillains and space heroes.
US firm says handheld puke ray is ready to go
Pistol style chunder-gat and torch/vom-sabre models
A US industrial laser company says it has developed a functional puke-ray system, ideal for use by cops or military personnel wishing to take down their opponents without shooting them. The firm proposes to issue the "non lethal light fighting technology" in two form factors - light-sabre/torch and blaster-pistol. The so-called Dazer Laser™ technology comes from Laser Energetics Inc, of New Jersey, which has been supplying more conventional laser equipment since 1991. Now, however, the company is pleased to announce its new Defender™ and Guardian™ chunder-beam weapons.
"This life saving non-lethal weapon will help all branches of the military, law enforcement, correctional facilities, security, border patrol, piracy control, homeland security, airport security and much more," says Laser Energetics CEO Robert Battis.Battis says that his regurge-ray weapons are better than the well-known Taser electrojolt stungun as they have a longer effective range and aren't single-shot. If an embattled cop, soldier etc. misses the target at first he can simply swing the dazzle-beam onto his opponent's face and leave him slipping and stumbling helplessly in a self-generated chunky puddle.

Can't you just see that being used by the villainous Dr Upchuck? The more alliterative writers would no doubt refer to his "barf-blaster", his "puke-pistol", or his "reflux rifle".
But I've spewed enough on this thread. ;)

"No, you fool! I didn't mean for you to vomit all over me! Now we'll both die!"
From the Stan Lee script for Dr Upchuck versus the Incredible Puke.
