Thal Soldiers' Firearms
Thal soldiers wield these firearms amid the rocket silo's towering scaffolding. The weapons are used to fire warning shots that force Sevrin back from the nose cone during his and Sarah Jane Smith's escape attempt. The sharp cracks of the gunfire echo through the confined heights, amplifying the soldiers' control and Sarah's terror. In one instance, a lone soldier dangles Sarah over a fatal drop, using the weapon's threat to enforce compliance and halt the escape. The firearms serve as a tool of intimidation and enforcement in the Thal-controlled environment.
