McLuhan's 4 Laws of Media?????

Question

Hi I'm thinking about how weapons (mainly guns but also swords) are an extension of man and looking at McLuhan's laws I've kinda figured the first two (what is extended? what is made obsolete?) Does anyone have any idea about how using a gun invokes a a return to older ‘structures…environments…forms of action, human organization, and thought’ ? (that's the law of Retrieval) and how its' characteristics are reversed when it is pushed to the limits of its potential (that's the law of Reversal)? please help I'm hungry and tired and I have to have this assignment in later today... :-)
