Alternate take: No, they're pretty good acuity. While the death ray is random, it's able to aim anywhere allowing you to shot at two different units or place it were a unit is outside cover, plus its random part is 3d6" so range is rarely a real issue (since its avg is 7"+d6" and its 12" normal range). And while Necrons are able to anti-tank like no other, the death ray is useful at wounding high toughness or high armor save models, which Necrons have trouble fighting (looking at you, [[Wraithknight]]) plus it laughs at [[Imperial Knight]]s and their ion save. | Alternate take: No, they're pretty good acuity.

do you remember those cheap, flying PoS that are were so prevalent in early 6th tournaments?! Well here's their shitty brother. It's basically a night scythe with the portal-gun replaced by a S10 AP1 death ray, which sounds great until you realize it has a random range, performs the role of anti-tank (which Crons have in spades) and costs 175 points.
Still, it's main gun is called the Death Ray, so that's got to count for something.
