Kaled Soldiers' Guns

These weapons—including machine guns, rifles, and other firearms—are used in **trench warfare** (cutting down militia ambushers), **ruin ambushes** (surrounding the Doctor/Harry), and **storeroom inventory** (cleaned after battles). Their disciplined deployment embodies the Kaleds' relentless military threat and war-ravaged society.
