::The Daleks didn't weren't seen to develop time travel until ''The Chase'', so in ''Genesis of the Daleks'', ''The Daleks'', and ''The Dalek Invasion of Earth'', the Daleks would not have had the capability to take advantage of the Blinovitch Limitation Effect. As 2.96 said, it is quite likely that the Daleks used some kind of timey-wimey weapons during the Time War, but their gunstick probably just use plasma or electricity or lasers or something. Since those weapons are perfectly effective at exterminating, there is no good reason for the Daleks to start using somehing much more complicated, and which much more room for malfunctions.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] [[User talk:Icecreamdif|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:27, September 5, 2012 (UTC) | ::The Daleks didn't weren't seen to develop time travel until ''The Chase'', so in ''Genesis of the Daleks'', ''The Daleks'', and ''The Dalek Invasion of Earth'', the Daleks would not have had the capability to take advantage of the Blinovitch Limitation Effect.

::The Daleks probably have a different name for it but Murphy's Law will hold for them, too: "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong." One reason the AK47 is such a popular weapon -- far more so than many that, on paper, seem better -- is that there's very little that can go wrong with it, so it's highly reliable. Considering how embarrassing it is for a Dalek when its gunstick doesn't work (''Dalek'', ''Journey's End'', &c.), reliability is going to be a high priority in its design. --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.79.53|89.242.79.53]]<sup>[[User talk:89.242.79.53#top|talk to me]]</sup> 15:00, September 5, 2012 (UTC) | |||
