Thats a lot of repairs to fix the robots

Haven't you been paying attention? They dip them in milk.

That was my big takeaway too. It would be prohibitively expensive fixing all those robots all the time. From the first episode we also know that the "hosts" have their computer brains in their heads. So when one "host" shoots another in the head, they destroy the hard drive. Also, there is no way the guns would only work on the "hosts" and not the humans unless they fire blanks (which we know they do not; and even if they did fire blanks, that would mean that the "hosts are packed with exploding squibs and they somehow can tell exactly where a "bullet" hits). This show and the original "Westworld" have a great core concept, but there are too many technical problems and unanswered questions. I'm watching the original "Westworld" again right now and the explanation for the guns is that they sense temperature and will not fire if the target has a warm temperature, which may sound good at first blush but when you think about it, what if a robot has been in the sun? The gun wouldn't fire, right?

And another thing: with such great seamlessly integrated technology there would be way more useful and profitable applications for it than a silly Western theme park: robot cops and soldiers, robot politicians, robot teachers, robot roadies, robot construction workers, robot hookers and, yes, even robot pimps.
