The Science channel had a July 4th "Firefly" marathon. As I've been watching it (DVR'd the whole series) I was reminded of this thread. The guns they used are all pretty much the same as today, with minor modifications, mostly cosmetic. Although, the "pew pew lazer beam" sound effects kinda soured me. It it looks like a shotgun, loads like a shotgun and fires like a shotgun, it should sound like a shotgun. Not some dinky Star Wars effect. OTOH, when George Lucas re-released Star Wars in THX, the laser beams lost their pew pew sound effects for a blam blam pow pow effecgt, which also soured me. If it looks like a ray gun... you get the idea.
But Firefly tech seems a bit more likely, in my perspective. Guns won't change as much as the ammunition fired from them.
