The secondary weapon of the Cybus Cybermen, the wrist blaster was a retractable weapon housed within the Cyberman's forearm. It consisted of a small segmented steel gun that fired a red particle discharge that could kill a Human instantly. The gun was connected with the Cyberman's vision circuits to ensure precision in aim. The wrist guns were seen, but not used during the creation of the first Cybermen. (DW: The Age of Steel) They were used during the Battle of Canary Wharf, though the guns were completely ineffective against Dalek force fields, leading to many Cyberman casualties during the battle. (DW: Doomsday)
In her partially converted form, Lisa Hallet could fire a blast similar to those of the wrist gun. Though the laser came from inside her wrist casing, it could only stun the part of the body which it hit. (TW: Cyberwoman)
