It must be a different kind of no fire zone, because in JCS's no fire zone, you can't even pull the trigger and there's no flash either. You can also get the kind of no-fire weapon using Gamehack. Basically, the weapon isn't there.

@Violet: Devan takes 100 hits to morph and 100 hits again to un-morph, afaik. Also, you're speculating a lot because you don't know there really IS a machine (apart from the flag bases) and that it really IS more advanced. You need 1.25 to get proof for that, heh.
