Soldiers' Firearms (Parallel World Workshop Ambush)

Standard-issue firearms wielded by soldiers during a coordinated ambush outside the Doctor's workshop in the parallel world. The workshop doors are marked with ominous triangular symbols, signaling the shift between worlds. The soldiers fire without warning as the Doctor exits, forcing him into a frantic dive for Bessie. Reinforcements arrive mid-escape, sustaining a barrage that pins the Doctor down, transforming the familiar workshop area into hostile territory. The ambush is part of a broader interdiction effort, with the soldiers acting under orders from Benton 2 after Latimer 2 brands the Doctor a saboteur. No specific model or caliber is shown, but the sustained fire effectively suppresses the Doctor's escape attempt.

They are not just weapons; they are extensions of the regime’s paranoia, firing without warning or provocation. The Doctor’s initial confusion is shattered by their sudden discharge, forcing him into a desperate escape.
