Double-barreled shotgun

A double-barreled shotgun was a type of crude firearm used on Earth. The Sixth Doctor used such a weapon to kill Chintor, an insectoid scout of the Kyle system, at close range. (PROSE: Retribution) The Fourth Doctor and Leela earlier used a similar weapon loaded with salt to disable and kill two Fendahleen. (TV: Image of the Fendahl) Kieran shot Gwen Cooper with a double-barreled shotgun under the impression that she was one of the Brynblaidd cannibals, injuring her. (TV: Countrycide) The shotgun was also used by some residents of Hooverville to defend themselves against pig slaves, to great success, but the weapons were ineffective against Daleks.
