I have a theory about Peridot and her lack of a weapon (besides limb enhancers). What if Peridot is a disabled or defective gem? Since she's too young to have been healed by Rose (while Rose was still on homeworld), she underwent surgery during which parts of her gem were shaved away. This process saved her life, but it also removed her ability to summon a weapon. This means that when she received her limb enhancers, they gave her a proper weapon. She is so scared of Steven using weapons on her (like a wet towel) because she knows that she is unable to defend herself.
