I guess that leads to the meta question of "What is the velocity needed to beat Relentless with a rubber ducky"

I'm a fan of Thoom or perhaps (for a sustained beam) Freem.
That said, I read a quite detailed piece describing what a specific explosion sounded like... but in summary declared it best described as BANG!

Sure maybe the onomatopoeia for it doesn't read as intimidating, but you can always describe the sound without using that and make it come across much better.

At least it wasn't a ¨Ker-splash¨
none, you just need a cute enough rubber ducky
I would go for this.
"A deep thrumm"
"A thunderous roar"
That sort of thing.

Rubber duckies are too cute to fire at someone like Relentless. Furbies on the other hand wouldn't be missed.

For lasers, maybe something like 'a scream that tore the air' or for many batteries of such at once 'a howling symphony'
So on and so forth.

I wonder if Taylor add "ominous hum" as extra option to her guns, to have extra intimidation option.

"An almighty boom", "a cacophenous crash", "a tremendous crack of thunder", and shittons more. just string appropriate adjective and sound together,a nd bam. ^^

For smallish or distant explosions or implosions I like a 'padded thud', less energetic ones, anyway.

We do to an extent certainly. The question isn't what they sound like animated, but what the word is we would write to represent this in any given novel. Might use a different word each time in the future just for the heck of it.
... touché.
Wait, that's not what they sound like...
...wait. The pun.
Touche indeed.

Hmm...well, it'd have to be sufficient.

Not necessarily. Many at insufficient velocity would work. Kinda against the forum spirit, but several kilotons will still cause a crushing defeat.
On the other hand, one really fast ducky or many slow duckies might not do as much as we need against nanomaterial.

Which is the wrong question.
The question should be "how many rubber duckies you need to beat Relentless", to which the answer would be "one, at sufficient velocity". Finding out what the "sufficient velocity" actually is, is beyond the meta and un-fun, so it's ignored.

It's exactly the right level of meta for my fun thank you very much. It's not my fault you're not on my level of nit picky pedant
EDIT:
Meh, I don't know that you could make an onomatopoeia (of reasonable length) to convey what I'm thinking. A single shot would be bone rattling thunder that tapers off over (at minimum) 30 seconds. Multiply that by a broadside and the requisite font size and word length would likely take up far to much space. Honestly more space efficient to describe it than use an onomatopoeia.

Quoted from Guardsman_Sparky's sig back in SB:
And "BANG" is not Relentless-y enough. The Queen of Escalation would not be pleased.
And "BANG" is not Relentless-y enough. The Queen of Escalation would not be pleased.
The Techno Queen would be pleased by your choice, and then sue your ass for copyright infringement. Much better than "BANG", though.
