As this weapon is present in TV: The Two Doctors, all information about it's usage therein must be included in this article.
These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.
Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.

Behind the scenes
In the original version of A Fix with Sontarans, Jimmy Savile identifies the weapon as a BBC meson gun, however this ending was cut from the 2022 edition of A Fix with Sontarans — given ethical reasons over Savile's illegal and predatory behaviour — and it is also not a valid source due to the fourth wall breaking ending. As such, it is never named in the 2022 version.
Information from invalid sources
According to one account, after the Doctor and Tegan congratulated Gareth Jenkins on killing the duo of Sontarans, Jimmy Savile entered the TARDIS and told Gareth that, as the Sontarans wouldn't need the weapon on account of being dead, that he could take the BBC meson gun.
