They have laser guns
Actually, no, they have firearms. One villain had a laser pistol, some Alliance troopers have sonic blasters (or something like that), but the main characters use kinetic energy weapons and not direct energy weapons. Heck, in Serenity, one villain's weapon of choice was a sword.
What about The Lassiter?
That's a laser pistol.
Ya, but it was on the ship for a while
And if i remember correctly, Inara has the laser equivalent of a derringer.Oh, yeah, that was when Inara took out the trash - holding Yolanda-Saffron-Briget in the garbage can at laser point. The small gun was a laser derringer? Could just as easily be a pneumatic cyanide pellet gun, but I suppose another direct energy weapon would be more proper and likely.
The barrel was a bit long, but the handle reminded me of early derringers.
You also have to take in the context of her... um... profession.
A Geisha? Did they often have laser derringers?
You're probably right about the weapon Inara had. I should really just find a wiki about it I suppose though.Actually she is a courtesan. A Geisha is skilled in non sexual arts. She may (or may not) have a sexual relationship with a client, but this is her own business, and is not part of her entertainment. What you are thinking of is probably a Oiran. Also, both of the Oiran and Geisha are from Japan, the society in Firefly is more of a cross between Chinese and western society's, then Japanese and western.
I didn't know that.
