Reavers with guns?
Sunday, July 29, 2007

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...

Well, it didn;t bother me so much. Sure, Reavers love to slash and chew their way through their prey, but having guns also makes sense since guns are also an extreme expression of violence, which is what the Reavers are all about. Yeah, Jayne and Simon both get shot so I'm thinking there was more than one Reaver with a gun. Now if they had grenades too, our BDH's wouldn't have stood a chance.

I remember seeing one of the reavers firing a gun through the door at the barracade causeing Jayne to duck/get hit.
