Question: Would someone please explain why they need a huge Gatling gun on the asteroid? Are they scared of aliens or what?





Answer: If you look at the deleted scenes on the special edition DVD, you will see a deleted scene in which A.J. asks what they needed a gun for, and Max explains that it's for debris elimination, in order to take out small rocks in the way.
