Yeah... body-mounted guns mean that everyone on the battlefield is doing dances to try to hit their targets.
It also raises another question: Why invent a weapon that requires a completely separate mechanism to work properly?
Spooky.
That doesn't really sound like Trixie. I still prefer the idea of her taking on a different name and identity and starting over.
You can't expect me to be fine.
I don't expect you to care.
There's that Ask Wild Card tumblr where he uses an actual shotgun. The only difference between it and a regular, human shotgun is that its trigger thing is big enough so that he can fit his hoof through it.
Axios!
So the challenge is inventing a projectile weapon usable by equines that can be reliably carried and fired with reasonable accuracy by a single soldier. I'll get back to you if I figure something out.
Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.
You rang?
The metal of your chains is no match for the metal in my veins.
Pony weapons, dude. We need to custom-build some feasible pony-ready armaments.
Alright.
I've got shoulder-mounted cannons, the Modified Trigger guns and a unicorn horn extension that channels telekinetic energy into magical bolts, designed to impale tank armour.
It's not like the Equestrian Army was using them.

Guess it's one of those "between a rock and a hard place" type deals, then. Her reputation is sunk worse than Titanic by now, but she's too fond of her identity to just let it go. What to do, what to do...

Pegasus Conversion Therapy?
I could picture that being a thing in future Equestria!

What if a friendly makes a noise?

Well, maybe friendly soldiers have unique tags that the on-board cameras can scan instantaneously.
That would require quite a bit of expensive technology.
And also, what if an enemy steals one?

Well, nothing's perfect. Failsafes need to be built into everything nowadays.
Yeah.
Also, I was thinking about it, and the Alicorn Amulet could qualify for a SCP. Boosts power massively in cost of the user's morals, reason and sanity?

I wonder if it actively inspires negative thoughts, or if it's just a simple matter of letting the id take over.

Yes, and Zecora is agent of SCPF, so amulet is contained.

Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.
(Assuming that the cannon punches the target back a distance).
And in my weird 'Equestria in the future' idea, they have independently aiming firearms for soldiers and law enforcers.
