Firearm: Difference between revisions

{{cleanup|A ''huge'' portion of this page breaks [[T:NO RW]]. Do we know from any of these stories the types of gun used? In fact, do we even have a [[valid source]] for DWU use of the name "firearm" in this context? Why should readers be directed to a dab page at [[Gun]] first, instead of arriving at an article on guns in general there, and then opening pages on specific types of guns? In addition, there are no references here to non-Real World weapons, such as the [[Demat Gun]], among others. This greatly limits the articles scope, and halts just where we should have the most info. This page has way too many issues.}}

UNIT and other military personnel usually used weapons from the G36 weapons family. Officers usually carried pistols or revolvers. In future centuries future soldiers like the Anglican soldiers and soldiers in the [[Human-Hath War]] seem to carry modified P90s.

One practical limit on the use of firearms was that they were usually lethal. While it was possible to use a firearm to incapacitate rather than kill, this could be done only by inflicting serious injury and pain. While there were forms of ammunition called "less than lethal" intended for incapacitation, such as rubber bullets, they still inflicted great pain, and were lethal under certain circumstances. {{fact}} For this reason, individuals such as [[the Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] often refused to use them on moral grounds ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'', ''[[Journey's End]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Daughter]]'', ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'') — although there were exceptions.
