Need pacman files for /usr/bin

Hello, in a freak accident as root, I've deleted my /bin folder. I still have all the rest intact. All I need is pacman's files in that folder in order to recover the others. Can anyone zip their /usr/bin or just their /usr/bin with the pacman files?

And yes, I have learned my lesson about double checking commands before execution as root.
