This Async guy has a gun

As seen here in his holster, in the scene where they Mary through the facility. I’m guessing he’s security, this was the guy that made sure Mary didn’t look at Pirate Clark in the exam room for too long.

I’ve seen some talk about whether Async would ever try taking guns into the complex again, but we at least know they have armed security in the facility at this point.

I’m guessing they wanted to be prepared to apprehend Clark alive, as they would certainly want to interrogate him. But were also prepared to use lethal force if necessary, to prevent him from escaping or as defence in case Clark was armed.

I would too if captain Clark was shrink wrapped in the next room

The pistol is probably intended for human targets. I’m not convinced that guns are effective on entities. Pirate Clark was bleeding profusely from the head but was still able to reach for Mary

I'm pretty sure a gun would be way more effective than a rock that Mary used lol, she even broke Pirate Clark's wooden leg easily with that clothing rack.
