A laser was an artificial beam of light that travels in a single direction. Many lasers were harmless and used in some games (SJA: Warriors of Kudlak), but other lasers were used as deadly weapons. During their campaign to recruit warriors, the Uvodni utilised harmless laser weapons in their interactive laser-tag game Combat 3000. However, on board their ship, the Kudlak warriors carried deadly blaster rifles that fired a yellow laser burst.
Some weapons, such as Sontaran lasers, were called "lasers" despite travelling slower than light. (DW: The Sontaran Strategem). Lasers could also be used for a defensive purpose, such as when the Doctor, Donna and Jenny came across a grid of heat rays in one of the tunnels underneath Messaline.
Examples of laser weapon use
- The Cybermen were armed with a wrist-mounted laser blaster that fired a red blast. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen, The Age of Steel)
- The Daleks used gunsticks which fired laser rays which could be modified into hand-held Tommy rifles. (DW: Evolution of the Daleks)
- The parallel Torchwood developed laser weapons, which destroyed Cybermen and could blast through a Dalek's shield. (DW: Doomsday)
- Captain Jack Harkness used components from a pair of androids to build a high-powered energy weapon out of a defabricator. (DW: Bad Wolf)
- The Sontarans utilised laser rifles during their Invasion attempt. (DW: The Poison Sky)

- On the planet Griffoth, the Graske were armed with tiny laser pistols to combat intruders.
- Sontaran batons fired a laser that could cripple their victims. (DW: The Poison Sky)
- Chantho used a laser pistol to shoot the Master. (DW: Utopia)
- Suki used a laser pistol to shoot the Jagrafess. (DW: The Long Game)
