Firearms in Equestria?

They could have an episode about firearm safety! Apple bloom steals apple jacks shotgun and uses it as a toy, but it accidentally discharges, wounding a near by animal, she then has to fess up to her sister

 

A little much for a kids show don't you think? xD

 

As much as I hate to say it, I could picture Rainbow Dash making a great tank driver. She has a pet turtle after all. :P

 

If you haven't seen them yet check out the Starcraft 2 pony portraits. Gives a nice example of the ponies on the battlefield.

 

I can imagine her with goggles on commanding a tank :D Edited by Lady Rarity Pony

Many moons ago, I watched Connections on PBS.  Some of the technology used to build internal combustion engines was also used to make steam engines.  It was first used to make cannons.  Plus, they have fireworks so they have explosives.  Thus, they could make guns but do not appear to.  (IMO, party cannons are air guns.  Like a BB gun only larger)

 

However, just because they can do it, doesn't mean they do.  The reasons could vary from

Magic is more effective, so the technology was never developed.

or, They have been suppressed by law (& international treaty).  IIRC, medieval Japan did just that.

 

The USA is pretty is pretty unusual in allowing widespread gun ownership.  Most industrialized nations are pretty restrictive about private citizens owning guns, especially handguns.

there are guns in equestrian though they are hardly ever used, seeing as there aren't really wars and wizards take care of all the monsters.

Unfortunately, that meaning of the word "tank" comes from it's use as the name for armoured fighting vehicles.

The meaning has fallen far away from one another though. Tanks in RPGs are always a melee type. The vehicle weapon is typically a long ranged weapon.
