I'm still laughing about how all those Abstergo guards didn't have a single idea about shooting the rest of the Assassins. (I know I'm late for this movie. AC was just premiered this january because we had a film festival for the rest of december). Were guns prohibited in the lab? Because I vaguely remember some Abstergo guards shooting at my Desmond when I was playing ACIII. I pointed this out to my friends just after the movie, and they suggested that while Abstergo was stupid enough to leave random antique weapons lying around the facility for the Assassins to just pick up when they break out, they were smart enough not to carry around firearms because those firearms could easily be taken by the Assassins where they would be in far more lethal hands.

In Assassin's Creed III there's only one guard who actually holds a pistol I think, and Desmond picks it up after killing him. You can then go on to snapshot everyone in the head with it, showing how deadly it is in the hands of an Assassin.
