Corrected entry: Never mind the absolute ridiculousness of having machine guns in a vacuum environment with many glass windows (and huge glass domes), why for safety's sake didn't the Mars colony have bullet proof glass?

Deliberate mistake: While Cohagen is on Mars, he calls Richter and chides him for trying to kill Quade. Richter is in a car on Earth, yet they're having a real-time conversation, which is impossible because of the distance. [While this is true, a movie with 4 to 21 minute pauses between lines would take rather a long time].

Suggested correction: This movie takes place an undisclosed amount of time into the future. Absolutely no telling what kind of technological advances could have taken place, in a science fiction movie at that.
Correction: Simply, money. Cohagen simply doesn't care. Bullet-proof glass is an expense he would rather not have.
I don't know about this, since there was apparently enough money to build the safety shields that came down. My question would be, if we could have the safety shields, why would they install glass at all?

The glass gives the ability to look outside; for the tourists, the safety shields do not.
