Back to actual discussion, what does it matter what type of weapon Dalton had. Remember he has Golems also (which we still know very little about, he may be out or he may create them), I doubt any Gaurdrian solider could even strike a Golem, plus Dalton is also pretty powerful on his own. And what about Lynx, I don't remember correctly but couldn't he help. And perhaps this is how Norris proved himself to be a great general or sgt whatever his rank was. The point is the weaponry doesn't matter, if it's suppose to it hasn't shown any reason to be necessary yet. The only reason they won is because Dalton is actually a strong, powerful, and strategic military leader. Most of you just don't want to admit Crono could die to the hands of Dalton.
