And why are they using swords?? Guns don't need electricity to function, and you can't tell me there's a lack of guns or ammunition after only a handful of years...

Some of the bad militia guys used guns. However, in the final fight, I saw two of them using old fashioned muskets and nearly bowled over laughing. Seriously? We`re back to the 18th century now? *g*

Admittedly I don`t mind the sword terribly much because sword-fighting usually makes for nice-to-look-at fight scenes and they were. :)
