artistic range rifle


Explanation:
"raggio artistico" is an expression for which you will find hits - it denotes a performer's or artist's "artistic range"

Here of course there is a play on "ray" - but at least in English we can make a pun out of it because guns have "ranges" or are fired on "ranges"

(the "range" is why I chose "rifle" instead of "gun" or "pistol")
