As for Five and his shameful love affair with guns, it's worse than that, I'm afraid. In "Resurrection of the Daleks" he used a pistol to shoot a Dalek in its green squishy face until it was very, very dead. Then he handed the gun back to the soldier like it was a two-week-old dead lark* and walked away.
He also nearly fired a laser pistol at the Cybermen in "Earthshock" (the only thing that prevented him was the door coming down), and threatened to kill Davros with a gun as well. Of course he didn't actually follow through on his threat, and made lots of Regretful Faces afterward, which is probably why nobody remembers it. But still.
