Laser

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Revision as of 22:58, 27 October 2013 by Tybort (talk | contribs) (If the suit design showed the device, it was never fired in the two-parter.)

A laser was an artificial beam of light, the photons of which moved in a single direction. Many lasers were harmless and used in some games (TV: 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. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem). Lasers could also be used for a defensive purpose, as when the Tenth Doctor, Donna and Jenny came across a grid of heat rays in one of the tunnels underneath Messaline. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter)

Lasers were employed for medical purposes, in surgery, such as in laser scalpels (TV: Mindwarp) and laser saws. (TV: Day One)

Examples of laser weapon use

Behind the scenes

  • In the story, NOTDWU: Attack of the Graske, which this wiki does not consider to be a valid DWU source as it has multiple endings, which we cannot qualify through any mechanism which is the "correct" or "canonical" one, Graske on the planet Griffoth were shown to be armed with tiny laser pistols which fired purple blasts to combat intruders.
