Doctor Who has often contradicted its titular character's disdain for guns, as the Doctor has used various firearms throughout the show's history. Although the Doctor generally opposes violence, there are times when using a gun becomes necessary for self-defense or to defeat enemies threatening time and space. The sonic screwdriver, the Doctor's iconic tool, is often portrayed like a weapon, capable of causing explosions and creating protective shields.
Since the beginning of Doctor Who, the titular Time Lord has made it clear that they disagree with the use of guns, but on many occasions, the show has contradicted this belief. Even the Tardis lacks weapons, as the Doctor tends to use more creative measures to thwart his enemies' plans. However, while the Doctor has always generally been a pacifist, sometimes there is no other choice when it comes to the threats of time and space than to pick up a gun.
