I think the reason the gun did not work on the dragon was simply because it was a DRAGON, it’s just so big and it has a thick skin. Opening fire on a dragon seems to be the equivalent of a kid throwing pebbles at an adult, it’s annoying as hell but it’s gonna take a really long time and a truck load of pebbles before killing you.
When Emma will run out of bullet in is when will be the end of modern weapons in EF. Molotov cocktail are not exactly modern (alcohol burns… we did not just recently figure that out). I think Emma’s modern contribution on the battlefront in EF will be more on the defense side of things. Being a sherif comes with some sort of formation right? (riot police, how to properly immobilized someone with minimum danger to yourself… that kind of things)
Indeed, handguns are generally useless against large animals like grizzly bears so I wouldn’t expect one to be very effective against a dragon. On the other hand, it could be very effective against bad guys who are used to their armor stopping most weapons.
When Emma runs out of ammunition, they could redo the old Star Trek episode and have her make gunpowder like Capt. Kirk did! (Just joking – I think they will be more original than that.) But I agree she could probably come up with lots of modern tricks that would surprise her enemies.
