Carrington and Grey's Alien Weapons
Carrington and Grey deploy these extraterrestrial weapons from a helicopter during the convoy ambush at the landing site. They fire the weapons alongside smoke grenades to incapacitate the Brigadier and UNIT soldiers guarding the Mars Probe 7 capsule on the low-loader. The blasts neutralize the military personnel without killing them, allowing the conspirators to hijack the vehicle. The Doctor later observes the aftermath as he pursues in Bessie.
