Hmmmm, perhaps a piercing ray then? A beam of radioative particles that penetrate straight through the target. The beam we see might just be air excitement from the particles and the reason targets explode might be due to the beam boiling water inside the target's body to the point that it evaporates with such pressure that the "container" explodes. Basically, think of it as getting an X-ray souped up with a car battery. (apologies for the explanation of what the weapon might be, the "Cutting L.A.S.E.R. Theory" is the explanation I have for it's registration as a "slashing weapon".
