[QUOTE="MaxKaladin, post: 1787909, member: 1196"] I was also surprised the Sawyer (the "Redneck" according to Sayid the Iraqi) took out a bear with the handgun. Bears are difficult to kill even with rifles. He was [I]very[/I] lucky or else something else was going on. I think it likely that Sawyer does, indeed, have extra clips and he will now keep them quiet until he needs the gun again. I didn't find the scene about disabling the gun to be at all surprising because, well, its Hollywood. I ought to point out that there is no guarantee that there are no other guns on the island. For starters, there could have been a sky marshall on the flight. There is also no guarantee that the Marshall with Kate was the only armed law enforcement official on the flight with a prisoner. My pet theory regarding this is that we'll find out that there was another Marshall on the plane and that he's dead leaving the question of who else might be a prisoner. Sawyer implied once already that Sayid was a prisoner by observing that he was sitting near the back of the plane with his hands under a blanket and that the guy next to him "didn't make it". Eventually, I think we'll find that Sawyer was right. They seem to be setting him up to have a lot of suspicions that people dismiss but which turn out to be more accurate than everyone thinks.
