Sonic and the Black knight

[Badbatman3]

What do you mean? If she uses a bow, that would make her more flexible, useful, and greatly reduces the chances of her getting kidnapped.

If she's using one of those useless outdated guns that takes forever to reload, she'd have to spend more time running around and probably get kidnapped in the process. Thus, making Sonic have to rescue her again. So she obviously has to use a gun in order for her to be herself.
