Because the gun is just a random one grabbed off the people on the destroyer. (This was just an idea I was exploring, an edit to an existing scene, in the hope of explaining another part of the book. It's not that important to the story, just a detail I wanted to cover. It's all looking a bit iffy, so I may decide to scrap the idea and find another way of achieving what I want.)

ETA: Isn't it amazing how much time you can spend on something that would probably only be a few lines in the book. But if you screw it up then you drop the the reader out of the story possibly destroying pages of effort.
