Sonic Blaster

A sonic blaster, or squareness gun, is a type of weapon available in the 51st century. They were produced at the Villengard factory, until it was destroyed by the Doctor, and replaced by banana groves.

Bananas are good

Use​

The blaster uses digital technology to create a sonic wave, projected into the form of pulsing squares of blue light, which could can through thick walls. It also has a reverse function which can replace the removed chunk of material afterwards. This is deemed a "special feature" of the blaster, and is said to use up a lot of the batteries on which it runs.
