Matter converter

The matter conversion gun was a weapon used by the Ergon to transport Colin Frazer, Robin Stuart, and Tegan Jovanka into Omega's TARDIS.

The beam from the weapon appeared to cause great pain and distress; those hit by it screamed as they vanished. Nyssa, taking possession of the gun, used it to destroy the Ergon.

The gun could be broken down into smaller pieces, allowing the Fifth Doctor to carry it in his pockets through the streets of Amsterdam. He reluctantly fired it at Omega to stop him from willing his own destruction, which would have caused a massive explosion. (TV:  Arc of Infinity)
