1 word. to narrow it down ... it is both an audio effect and a weapon.

This shouldn't take long. Continuing the theme of Sci-Fi weapons, first non-cryptic clue: Only five were ever produced.

Clue number two: It killed slowly, tearing the victim apart from the inside out.

If needed, the third clue should be the clincher.
