If I had to give it a translated/localized name, I'm in the camp of "Devil Drill Cannon."

"Demon Spiral Beam" if I'm feeling fancy.

I favor this one. It preserves the translation/meaning, sounds scary as shit, and mainly just makes me think of Piccolo as one badass dude.

I just thought of a great one: Devil-Ray Cannon. Rolls of the tongue pretty well I'd say.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!
