Spoiler...well...maybe...but you could have figured that out from the original version too, if you really wanted to. And it isn't given away either in the Director's Cut without much thinking after the movie is done by the viewer. Trust me though, still watch the Director's Cut, it's much better.

I do belive that "The Matrix", "Contact", "The Fifth Element" are some of the most oustanding movies ive ever seen.

Yes, "The Matrix" is going to be my next DVD conquest. I just loved the way the good guys conveyed that "guerilla" feeling by not using stainless, polished, expensive futuristic weapons (MIB?). They had M4A1's, AK's, berettas, used and bruised stuff with some paint missing. And that Huey with the gatling gun, very retro. The enemy had shining silver Deagle's, good contrast methinks.
(small note: does anyone know what kind of hardware that mouse-kid pulled out of the coffin, akimbo style, in that police ambush?)

Though it seemed a bit silly. If you could hack into the program to give yourself all sorts of firearms, why stop there? Why not code in some fancy plasma weapons and one of those flying hovership things? Or some powered armor?

Aah, maybe it would've been sensed by the net and an alarm would go to high command, warning of "lethal weapons acquired". Remember, the Agent-type enemies were able to evade normal "slug throwers", maybe they don't think much of it and allow a certain amount of normal weapons to exist in the illusion, to make it real. Now, acquired laser weapons and other unconventional arms might point to someone out there being a bit too clever.
I mean, for the grand illusion to hold, there must be some of those dreaming humans that are dreaming they are thugs and robbers or simply weapon enthusiasts, carrying or owning weapons. Maybe the boys and girls in leather wear borrowed their worth of guns.
Hehe, just speculating, the whatif element is kind of pointless.
