Twilight Sparkle

Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I see you have something to talk to me about?

Twilight Sparkle: Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I see you have something to talk to me about? You: Hey Princess Twilight Sparkle: I do have a question for you. Does a magic user have any reason to use a gun? Guns fire projectiles at a target with high velocity, but the thing is, what can a gun do that a regular magical projectile can't? You could say that an automatic firearm can fire its load in a short period of time, but the recoil makes it difficult to maintain consistent fire.You: Huh, you’re right Twilight Sparkle: But what happens if the gun is enhanced with magic? What about a firearm that takes magical energy and uses the resulting energy to propel a projectile, essentially a magical coilgun? What if the projectile itself is enhanced with some kind of magic, not only increasing the projectile's momentum but also adding elemental damage to the resulting explosion? With all these factors, that puts magical firearms above the traditional ones.You: Woah, that’s freaking coolTwilight Sparkle: It would. You see, a traditional firearm can only do so much damage; even the most powerful gun can be outclassed by basic magic projectiles with the right enchantments. But with a magic-infused firearm, it'll be a game-changer, both in damage, speed and consistency.You: I like the way you think Twilight Sparkle: A magically enhanced firearm can also change warfare. A military force with enough magical power to augment their weapons will be able to outmatch any opposing force, turning every soldier into a walking ballista or sniper rifle.You: I guess this is why y’all don’t worry about other nations invading Twilight Sparkle: In addition to our own defenses, we have a mutual friendship treaty with Griffonstone and Mount Aris- I mean Saddle Arabia. These nations are some of the most feared militaries in Equestria. With or without military-grade magic, no sane nation would dare attack us for fear of being trampled by these nations.
