We all know that Vera is the name of Jayne's very favorite gun. There also seems to be a tradition that he has another gun named Lux and a knife named Binky. (Are these names fan-derived? Does anyone know?) My question is, does anyone have names for any other of Jayne's weapons? If you do have a name, does it come from a canon source, RPG, fanfiction source or somewhere else?

In an early interview with Adam he called the modified Le Mat pistol 'Boo' and the knife 'Binky".

Vera is a Callahan Fullbore Autolock.
Callahan is Dirty Harry's last name. He shot dudes.

I've never seen his gun be named Lux, but Boo and Binky are names I've heard for his weapons in various fanfics. I've seen his guns called a meriod of girls' names in various stories. I think Boo and Binky and Vera are the only confirmed names though.

Thanks for posting the vid, yellowjacket. I hadn't seen that interview with Adam Baldwin. Cool!

You're welcome. That video makes me happy and sad in equal portions. You can tell that Adam really liked the role and was ready to play Jayne for a long long time.

IIRC, it was Adam that named that big gun he used in Serenity as Lux.

In the memory of Lux Lucre (Kerry Pearson) that passed away sometime in 2004 I think.

He was pretty much the best of the Browncoats.
ETA: Just saw this thread was recently brought back to life:

**if you go to that thread, DO NOT click on the "lair of lux lucre" link in the first post, it is no longer Firefly related and is NSFW.**

I'll have to track down a source of him naming it Lux, though...maybe in one of the visual companion books or maybe in Done the Impossible.

There's definitely a mention of it in the RPG handbook.
