Special Weapons Dalek Cannon

A compact, matte-black projectile device with ridged polymer grips, designed for intimidation rather than precision. During Silas’s betrayal, its muzzle presses against Daphne’s temple, though the weapon’s uncharged state renders it silent. Daisy’s squad wields it as a prop of theatrical cruelty, enforcing despair under the regime’s joyful mandate.
