I'm really enjoying this show. Like GoT, it's one of those where I'm likely to re-watch the previous episode before watching the new one live.

There are three levels of 'protection' and the rest is suspension of disbelief.
The guns are engineered to treat visitors like paintball [feel and see impact, but no lasting damage], and treat hosts like video game casualties [strike positions start damage subroutines in the unit].
Some hosts are and others aren't programmed for handling of dangerous utilitarian items, such as axes, whips, and fire.
In addition to the 'do no harm' programming, the hosts are programmed to utilize human 'skills' to divert guests from danger. ie, if someone is pushing for a fist fight, or to shove a guest into danger [cliff, animal pen, fire, etc], the host will either try to diffuse the situation or offer him/herself up as the sacrificial victim.
