GUNS
Despite being set 500 years in the future, firearms are a huge
part of life in the 'verse. Essentially every episode of Firefly
had a gun or gunfight in it. Guns are seen in the hands of criminals
thieves, the upper class, crime lords, and even the Alliance.
This site is a fantastic resource. They've compiled every gun,
handgun, shotgun, semi auto, automatic, pistol, and high artillery
in the series. So if you want to get really technical, check it out.
HIGH TECH WEAPONRY
The usual fare for Science fiction fandoms is noticeably absent.
Laser weapons do exist, though they are used almost exclusively
by the Alliance and their agents. It is possible but quite costly to
get these weapons. Between the prohibitive cost, the Alliance's
stranglehold on the sale of these technologies and the fact that
these weapons can easily cause hull breaches on a ship in space
laser weapons are a rarity.
SHIP WEAPONRY
Most Civilian class ships are unarmed, due to Alliance control
the penalty for getting caught with an armed ship without the
proper documentation is steep enough to deter even the most
seasoned of criminals. For those ships that do carry weapons
THIS should be helpful in determining what sort.
OTHER
Other types of weapons seen in the 'verse include swords, grapplers
grenades, and of course-- the ruffian's favorite: a broken beer bottle.
