That's getting kinda cybernetic, though, innit?

Equestria Prevails somehow makes ponies with guns kinda adorable.

For me at least, anything more complicated than a flintlock pistol would seem kinda off to me unless it was explicitly magical in nature.

@Thrik: It isn't, but if you upload it to TVT I can put it in.

I would, but I have work tomorrow so I must get to bed.

Well, it's not like I want Daring to be a trotting armory, but just something stun or knock out enemies. After all, half her supplies are probably tracking equipment.

@JT: IIRC they have small watches in Equestria, so the mech of a revolver isn't too farfetched.

But anyways g'night to ye.

Heck, if we're into tap-into-brainwaves tech levels, then forget guns. Gimme a blaster pistol or something!

And a personal deflector shield, while we're at it.

@Ace: Technically it isn't, but something about it just doesn't feel like it would fit very well into the setting. The only weapon we've seen that's more advanced than a spear is the Party Cannon, and even that is pretty primitive.

And yeah, I know they referenced tanks and bullets, but I'm assuming that's just artistic license. "Tank" could easily refer to some sort of siege engine, and "bullet" originally referred to any sort of ammunition, like you might have for a sling.

TL;DR: Any relatively modern firearm would, for me at least, break the immersion. A whip gives more story opportunities anyway.

Okay, going to bed for real now. tongue

I'll leave it the level of nifty nuclear powered 30s/40s gadgets. Maybe a few clockwork trinkets.

And also provides a cheap and easy Devo reference.

I really hope EQP makes more comic pages eventually. His art is so goooooood.

Personally I see more steampunk and magitek stuff being prevalent. Pressured airguns and Artificial Unicorn Horns (wands).

Hmm, I could see that. Something a bit like Clash of the Titans? A few magitech gadgets with a bit of steam/clockpunk thrown in.

A blowpipe with mouthgrip and a saddlebag-mounted air pressure tank. Nasty stuff, can put a metal spike clean and deep into the rock of Canterlot Mountain.

Fiery snack

So just got done watching Terminator2. I don't think John was nearly as annoying as you make him out to be. Also, I was surprised by the lack of the mirror scene.

Oh, looks like the mirror scene was a deleted scene. As was the T1000's foot failing to blend in. For some reason the DVD I watched didn't even have deleted scenes.

Anyway, one thing I was confused by was Why did the machines have much better records this time around? How did they know about Dyson?

I wonder what kinds of weapons I could get away with? A whip and gun seems a bit too much for MLP.

Well the boomerang hat seems pretty useful already. Lassos, whips maybe.
