Not to mention contemporary music of this style. I can see how some people would like it (Hell, I might have liked it back in 8th Grade), but what was the person who suggested this band thinking? I mean... how in the world does this fit with a western-scifi motif?

The idea seems to be that people use 19th century technology because that's what they can afford. 26th century tech is available but expensive. "The western look" flows out of the premise, it's not a part of it.

And people who couldn't afford 26th century tech, would more likely and believably use 25th century tech, or 24th, or so on. Not 19th.

One of the tools on the table was the Winchester cut down rifle I mentioned earlier. The revolver being handled looked like a civil war era Hopkins and Allen cap and ball revolver, with a pivoting sheet steel cover added, along with a CO2 cartridge from a Crossman pellet gun and a modern "universal" mount added to the barrel. The mount allows clamping on of optics, illuminators and other accessories.

The long thing with the red button looks like one of those silly collapsing pole arms that were popular amoung the criminals of my youth. One item looked like an old fashioned Hypodermic needle like I saw at the Smithsonian a while back.

The long item loosely coiled looked like a short toilet snake or a fiber optic gizmo for viewing inside stuff. The large number of items with pointy ends remind me of projectiles w/o cartridge cases.

A minor nitpick with Buffy: it's very strange that the Bronze, a nothing bar in the bad part of a nothing town, can book so many well-known bands. And that these famous bands are always gone before the inevitable vampire/demon invasion.
