If I live long enough for the same year Cowboy Bebop is set in I'll be the same age as the three old guys who hang out drinking and playing cards
The only thing that bothers me about Cowboy Bebop is that their still using Guns we use today. IT'S SCI-FI DAMMIT! I DEMAND ALL SCI-FI'S HAVE SOME TYPE OF LASER WEAPON!
To be honest, its actually been scientifically proven that, in space, projectile weapons would be more effective than laser weapons due to the fact that lasers work by heating things up, and in space, heat diffusion and cooling are reaaally good.
