The most common sidearm used by Time Lords were [[staser]]s, which were carried by the Chancellery Guards ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'') and [[Time Lord soldier]]s during the Last Great Time War. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Conscript (audio story)|The Conscript]]'', ''[[Day of the Vashta Nerada (audio story)|Day of the Vashta Nerada]]'') Stasers fired a type of directed energy, which was relatively harmless to inorganic matter but caused massive tissue disruption to living creatures. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'') However when Gallifrey was [[Sontaran invasion of Gallifrey|invaded]] by the [[Sontaran]]s, stasers proved ineffective on Sontaran armour, forcing the [[Fourth Doctor]] to recover the De-mat Gun. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'') Another sidearm used by the Time Lords was the [[Lord President's personal security sidearm]]. This gun had no stun setting and a single shot from it would immediately force a [[regeneration]] in any Time Lord shot with it.

During the [[War in Heaven]], the weapons of the Time Lords were considered "legendary"; they had built defensive arrays the size of star systems and created armaments that took apart entire galaxies.
