I've only watched 5 episodes and it's a decent show but the weird noises take me right out of the show it's like they've done it as a joke.
If your guna have weird laser sounds atleast make up new weapons like other sci-fi series. -

agreed, that the gun noises were stupidrevolvers and pistols sounding like lasers (see shoot out in War Stories). That and the heavy handed western theme (did they really have to make it LITERALLY like the 19th century old west?) detracted from the series. Thank god they didn't do that in Serenity.

Technology marches on. Do you think the guns we have now sound exactly like the ones from 500 years ago?

Yes. That's the story they wanted to tell. Without it, Firefly is just another space show.
Thank god they didn't do that in Serenity.
The one thing missing from the movie.
Can't stop the signal. -

I do find it a little distracting. Just a touch, though. Don't usually care with the assault rifles and submachine guns, but when the 1880s revolvers are making "pew pew" noises, it does look weird.
If they modified the guns a bit, it'd be fine. Mal's wielding a gun very clearly modeled on a Colt Navy revolver, but it's different enough that it doesn't throw me off to see it (hear it) make "laser sounds".
