I think Lexington_Steele has the right idea. the weapons the Vanu use are energy based and more than likely need some kind of energy cells to use. While the other guns have clips that hold bullets, the Vanu would need batteries of sorts. When i saw the Lancer it reminded me of the laser gun Kaneda used in Akira, a huge battery to supply it and long recharge time before the next shot could be fired. I would think this idea would go for the rest of the Vanu weaponry.
