Haha. Someone should start a thread with a "fill in the scripted reply" or "what is the next line?" for movie quotes.

I kinda thought along the same lines. I thought that it (she) could be a future version of something along the lines of the Medusa revolver produced by Phillips & Rodger (can use 25 different cartridges). Or maybe something along the lines of the New England Survivor SB1-41 (fire a 45 colt cartridge or a 410 shotgun shell).
As far as the "Full bore auto lock" part I had thought that maybe they meant the term "Full bore" to mean much as it does now: "All out" As in a complete auto-lock. Perhaps as opposed to one with limited features/abilities.
When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa. Not screaming and yelling like everyone else in the car he was driving.

email Adam and Joss? Are they really gonna care what some gun nut with too much time on his hand thought up?
Multi-cal firearms would be pretty handy in space where you never know where your next supply is coming from. That's one of the reasons think they still use revolvers now and again. Save brass.

Auto-lock would certainly explain Jayne's mighty fine shooting in Our Mrs. Reynolds, since he couldn't sight down the barrel. While you're thinking on the subject, do you have any idea why Vera needed air around her to fire?

I'm SURE they'd get a kick out of it.
Overanalyzing is hilarious, like the dentist on Saturday Night Live that reviewed movies based on the reality of the dental hygine of the era.

Question for FANGUN:
I recently inherited (from my late father) a very peculiar hand gun, with a folding shoulder stock. It's engraved, "MARBLE'S GAME GETTER GUN, MARBLE ARMS & MFG. CO.,GLADSTONE, MICH., U.S.A."
It's got two stacked barrels, 13" long. The other side is engraved, "UPPER BARREL .22S.L.L.R.& N.R.A.
LOWER BARREL .44 G (something I can't make out)& 410 2""
The hammer hits a device that appears to drive the firing pins in both chambers.
It looks like it's at least 100 years old.
Do you suppose it's the distant ancestor of the Callahan Full-Bore Auto-Lock?
Sadly, I never saw it while dad was alive, so I couldn't ask about it.

Hey all... new here but funny thing is I first heard about Firefly/Serenity on a gun board I moderate at www.thehighroad.org.
The guns of Firefly have been well discussed over there for a variety of reasons... but you know even as an enthusiast... we tend to 'overlook' some of the obvious ??? about the technology (or lack thereof) in the show.
Mal's pistol looks reminiscent of a Steyr design from the late 1800's and everyone know's Han Solo's pistol was a Mauser C-96. The idea of mixing 'working' technology with old and new isn't really new... look at Duncan's lever action blaster in the forgettable "Masters of The Universe" count the number of AK's among the Rebels in Star Wars episode 6.
Full bore auto lock could mean something as simple as it can be transformed from .410 to 10 ga. with the twist of a collar... it's supposed to be powerful enough 'to almost cut through the hull" of Serenity but not quite.
So what if Marlin lever guns ride through space beside "The Lassiter" laser pistol.
It's just good entertainment. We don't let it get in the way of a good story.

Wow...those Marble's Game Getter guns are a real piece of history. Hang on to that. Not only is it valuable, but, of course, it's a pain to transfer NFA arms legally (but lucky you, you inherited it!)
Yeah...I'll bet there's a little of it in the Callahan FBAL :)
I love the placement of arms in Firefly. Lassiter s and all.

Boy do you have a keeper. A Game Getter will go for around $2000 plus or minus depending on condition and if it is NFA/AOW (gun stuff you can look up the meaning) reportable.
