Cowboys and Aliens (film)/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** It probably laid around in the desert getting warnworn away, picked up and disassembled for pretty bits, or otherwise just destroyed by time and elements. The government of the time period isn't large and powerful enough to do any swooping, nor is it nor any organized body large and powerful enough to rush in and start reverse engineering anything. It's probably all going to lay out in the desert until it's worthless and unrecognizable, allowing the movie to fit into the timeline without altering anything. Ask yourself where a society that hasn't quite gotten a handle on semiautomatic weapons would even START with reverse engineering a faster-than-light drive, even if there were an organized body capable of doing so that knew about its location.
