A '''water pistol''' was an [[Earth]]-made [[toy]]. They were often designed in the shape of [[human]] [[firearm]]s, and were usually made of [[plastic]]. Each water pistol required [[water]] in the barrel, which was later squirted out by pulling a trigger. However, the range of which the water was squirted out was limited. | A '''water pistol''' was an [[Earth]]-made [[toy]].

While visiting [[Pompeii]] on [[24 August]] [[79]] AD, the Tenth Doctor used a water pistol to hold the [[High Priestess]] of the [[Sibylline Sisterhood]], who was a halfway stage between [[human]] and [[Pyrovile]], at "gunpoint" to gather information from her. Knowing actual guns weren't invented at that period, he was able to get away with the fact that the High Priestess believed it was a dangerous weapon, until Sister [[Spurrina]] looked into his mind and called his bluff. However, squirting the toy at the High Priestess still caused it to feel pain, since water was the Pyroviles' weakness. He later used it again on an adult Pyrovile inside [[Vesuvius]], causing a similar effect.
