Guard Commander's Execution Sidearm

The weapon is a compact, metallic projectile device wielded by the Guard Commander during the staged execution of the Castellan. Its smooth surface reflects the hospital corridor's harsh lighting as the Commander raises it toward the Castellan's back. The weapon emits a sharp crack when fired, its muzzle flash brief but decisive, leaving no doubt about its lethal purpose. The Fifth Doctor notes the unnatural precision of the killing, recognizing the setup as a Time Lord deception designed to manipulate perception.
