Yeah, that is a valid point. However, I wonder how effective this gun really is.

Besides, the jail provides an excellent chance for the mallers to retake the colony once again:

First, cripple the defence (Puck, Robbins, ...) and allow the lone survivor Puck send a distress call.
Secondly, kill the reinforcements, resulting in a complete decapitation attack. Voilà, the colony is theirs again.
