Reavers with guns?

Monday, July 30, 2007 4:46 AM

I was watching Serenity again last night and I started wondering about something. In almost every scene I saw, the Reavers' favorite weapons seemed to be some kind of a blade, whether it be a large knife, a machete, a scythe or whatever. I can also understand the use of the paralyzing darts that Kaylee got shot with. After all, immobilizing your prey so you can eat them alive has its advantages. Both methods are pretty primitive but very deadly. Basically, I don't exactly see them using guns. Guns need maintenance such as cleaning. Could you actually see them using their dinner table as a place to clean their guns (hee-hee)?

In light of this, how did Simon happen to get shot in the end? They coud have shot River too if they were gun-toters. Perhaps there was something else afoot? Hmmm...
