I believe Peridot has no weapons. I think gems have to be trained to summon their weapons. The reason I base this off of is 1: Peridot has summoned a weapon from the backside or hair, not the gem. You can't see it all that well, but it's from the backside. While the weapon was an EMP grenade, I don't believe that was the weapon Peridot used from her gem, as when gems summon weapons the gem glows or makes a sort of sound. Peridot doesn't do this. 2: Different gems have different occupations and thus; don't need weapons. reason one for this is that a militarized gem like Jasper are used for fighting, eggheads like peridot are not. This is showed by when Amythest, Steven and Pearl storm the control bridge, peridot uses the gem  destablizer, and doesn't even try to summon a weapon. Another theory I was thinking was that Pearl was an egghead like Peridot, but was trained by Rose and learned to summon her weapon. Evidence of this? Perals gem placement, pearl being the brains of the team and Pearl even knowing how to turn the ship around in Jail break. And even if they did see Peridot piloting the ship, why was Pearl the first to try and pilot it?
