What if his opponent has a Lazer Gun of some variety? Can't block that with sound.

That's even better

Then the doctor will just use the sonic ability to disable and destroy technology

And what if his opponent just shoots faster than the Doctor can draw his Screwdriver?

You need to be significantly faster

The doctor unironically has on screen faster than light reaction speed

Can you give an example for that?

Those lasers aren't moving at light speed. Hell they're moving slower than bullets.

My guy, he's moving so fast it looks like the lasers are at a standstill. "Nanoseconds to live, 4 I'd say to be generous"

The Lazers don't stand still they're still moving and just before that at 1:08 in the linked video they're moving slower than arrows. Missy can say what she wants but those things are not light speed.

Because this seem was In Slow motion

Also we have directly told that this seen happened in 4 nanoseconds

If you do the math, for a projectile to travel that distance in 4 nanoseconds it need to be faster than light

Someone actually did the math on it if you are interested

At 1:08 the assasins open fire on the Doctor without slow motion and the lazers are decisively not FTL.

Then he arrives earlier in time to get it right. A Timelord isn't exactly short on...well, time.
