I know what a de-mat gun is, and the Moment is clearly not that. For one thing,you need the Key of Rassilon to make one, and I doubt the Doctor would have had access to that anymore. For another thing, the de-mat gu was basically a handheld weapon that could destroy one person at a time, not a planet destroying doomsday machine. And, most importanltly of all, the de-mat gun dematerializes people. The Doctor had consistently described Gallifrey as having been burned, and the effefct of the de-mat gun doesn't even come close to that.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 05:03, July 30, 2011 (UTC) | I know what a de-mat gun is, and the Moment is clearly not that.

Agreed. The "de-mat gun" idea apparently comes from comics, not the show, and its effects simply don't fit what the Doctor and others have said in the show. Also, it's clear from ''The End of Time ''(Part 2) that Rassilon and company know what the Moment is and what it could do, which doesn't suggest something the Doctor had improvised on his own. It much more suggests a known and very powerful Time Lord device, not necessarily originally intended as a weapon but capable of being used as one. Since it's one of those things that has greater dramatic impact being left mysterious, were not at all likely to learn much more about it. --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.72.115|89.242.72.115]] 21:24, July 30, 2011 (UTC) | |||
