Object
Master's Laser Gun
The Master grips this compact handheld laser gun to menace the Doctor. Outside the Primitive city, as the entrance grinds open, the Doctor lands a precise kick that sends the weapon skittering away alongside the Master's pocket watch, just as Primitives with spears close in and an alien envoy appears. Later, inside the Guardian's chamber, the Master aims it amid pleas for conquest, but the Guardian plucks it away telekinetically before unveiling the Doomsday Weapon's self-destruct.
