A pulse pistol was a small arms version of pulse weaponry that was one of the most common types of weapons in the galaxy. The standard issue Peacekeeper sidearm fired small bolts of yellow or red energy powered by chakan oil that were able to kill most species save for Scarrans.
The pistol could be set to overload, causing a large explosion relative to the amount of ammunition remaining. Despite the fact that the weapon did not use expendable shell casings, they were capable of jamming resulting in shots that would flicker weakly and fall to the ground after only a few feet. There was a mount on the right side, where a laser sight could be attached.
John Crichton eventually adopted one particular pulse pistol as his own which he christened “Winona”. He considered it to be more dependable than other pistols.
I tried rewatching the series a few years back… I was surprised at how painfully slow the pacing was in some of the early episodes. Too much time looking at the scenery, not enough dialogue. I actually gave up.
I still have a lot of good memories from the first time through, though.
Trigger warning!
Don’t be ammophobic.
Don’t be magazine-ophobic.
We’re here, we’re cleared, get used to it.

The proper pronouns for a gun are always “I/Me/My”, even when referring to me in the third or second person.
I think they identify as “Loretta”.
Or as Charlene.

Nope gotta be Charlene…………..
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: What’s this weapon’s name, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, the private’s weapon’s name is Charlene, sir!
