From the TfL website:

Unless there's orders written on the paper for people with guns to use 
their guns.  The argument could be made in that instance that the paper 
was more instrumental.

No, points are a mechanical installation enabling railway trains to be 
guided from one track to another, such as at a railway junction or where
