Ponies immune to bullets?

[Bendy 1,821]

Ponies immune to bullets? I heard some Bronies think this.

 

Using guns to fight Ponies in battle and shooting them? This isn't a completely Human Vs Pony thread. For in this universe some nations have Ponies and Human as friends and allies.  And their bastards on all sides as well, including Fascist Ponies and Fascist Humans, that want to kill all non Pony races (Fascist Humans wanting to kill all non Humans) and the least bad of the bunch is the United Species of Equestria.

 

Now as Humans (as members of the United Species of Equestria.) shooting enemy fascist Ponies. But oh no they have force fields to protect themselves, but you also have magic of your own with Ponies on your side, so you can get your bullets magically enhanced to smash through their force fields. While at the same time your Pony friends can just use magic to break their force fields. And also Humans would have magically enhanced armor to protect themselves from spells and bullets too.

 

Oh and depending on the universe, and if this magical world where Humans have magic too, then no one is stronger than the other. So you're all 'powerful' alicorn, yeah well I'm powerful wizard like Jon Irenicus.

Ehhh- Its a little different you see-

 

Magic is practiced- it gets stronger as you train it.

 

Also, A force field spell is only temporary- it lasts for as long as the caster can cast it.

 

So the  "magic force field" would be able to deflect a certain amount of damage according to how trained he/she is

 

You will get a better understanding if you watch the "magic duel" episode

I agree with this, the only thing I can elaborate on is that using magic can in some cases tire someone out, this means that even after the spell wares off in some cases the caster won't be able to use it again until he/she is ready.

theres also the point that unicorns could use telekenesis type spells to simply rip the gun from the humans hand or point it in another direction, if you want to get crazy they could also try going all Neo on it and slow the bullets down to a near stand still to bend there tejectory completely

What if there is like 2 snipers hiding in a bush and the unicorn gets suprised? The unicorn won't have time to react. There is no way telekenesis will do anything about that. Also bullets are too fast. Humans can use knifes, tazers, explosives etc... 

 

In a battle like this humans will be the winners.

And what if the Humans have magically enhanced (enchanted) guns and ammo crafted by unicorns on the Human side? I do think the magic bullets would be difficult to slow down and the guns be hard to grab with magic, since they are magically protected.

But really- an alicorn can sense an object flying at them from a far way- they are really powerful in terms of agility and finesse

 

The types of unicorns they would put out into battle would obviously be wearing some kind of enchanted battlemage armor and wield a staff most likely- We haven't really been given the chance to see a unicorn's real potential yet- maybe through twilight- as she is one of those slow walking "sage" wizard, but we haven't really seen a unicorn in his/her "zone" if you know what I mean. I expect some of that in the upcoming episodes/seasons

Yes, but all that is countered by very powerful magical alicorns on the Human side. Or powerful magical Humans from certain universes. Edited February 15, 2014 by Rush

This all seems like a video game someone should make

[Bird Mom 900]

Interesting topic. I don't know. But human guns/bullets would probably be rendered useless. It depends what type of pony. Pegasi and unicorns and alicorns would render their guns useless. But crystal ponies/earth ponies don't have powers, but if you were like Pinkie all hyper, you stand no chance..

[Shanks 10,816]

I highly doubt that ponies are immune to bullets, unicorns if their magic is powerful enough could form force fields and maybe even deflect the bullets right back at them and pegasi could create storms to blow the bullets back but if they bullets hit them than they are probably going to have the same effect as they would on a human.

[spezzzzzhdafuigb 49]

I Honestly feel that unicorn magic is the only half decent defense they will have against human weapons (forcefields, teleportation, etc) but they spend most of their time putting their effort into more peaceful endeavors. I mean, everywhere you look love and tolerance is in the air. Not the same on Earth! So with these things considered, along with the fact that so much of humanity's intellect has gone towards finding new and more effective ways to kill stuff, I feel the humans would easily defeat any forces that Equestria sends against them. And unicorns need to train their magic for it to get stronger. As for slowing down the bullets, I feel that its only as good as your reflexes can get. Then again, if humanity was to invade Equestria ("There are WMDs!!!!!!) I'm pretty sure that thousands of bronies would rise to the challenge, be gloriously slaughtered, then make us question why we are invading a land of technicolor horses. Okay that is largely speculation but on the technical side of things, judging how peaceful they are, and how violent we are, we would probably win. Humanity is full of complete fuckwads in the high political positions, so I honestly think if this were to happen, We'd fuck up our opportunity to learn about the magics of the friendships. Then again, why doesn't someone just go through the portal, then destroy it? Or the ponies destroy it? Many many different solutions that don't have to involve casualties. And if the humans were allied with the ponies, I'm pretty sure destroying the portal would be their best bet against 'MURICA!!! Despite humans being allied with ponies, it wouldn't make much of a difference if a whole country (like  'MURICA!!!!) invaded. Unless they started giving ponies technology to mass produce weapons adapted to them. Or make them more warlike. But that would just make a cute and cuddly species we adore just as bad as us. which is why I see just cutting off whatever hypothetical inter-dimensional rift that is allowing human troops to come to Equestria as the least damaging solution. Ponies' peaceful nature is kept, pony sympathizers never have to go back to Earth(United Species of EQUESTRIA, right?), and Crisis averted. Game. Set. Match. you know, they could make a pretty good fanfic about this. I love how half the questions I was asking myself I just answered as I was writing. So yeah

The "Want It Need it" spell. it works on line of sight. So i hope your snipers can shoot with their eyes closed. XD

[SomariFeyWright 776]

Hmm... intriguing.

 

Ponies have certainly shown themselves to show pain from physical objects... but then again, we've never actually seen anything pierce the skin. This is understandable... after all, who would want a pony bleeding out in My Little Pony?

 

Still, they don't come off as impenetrable. They... "feel" very soft, based on their design and whatnot. Anything's possible, of course, but it just doesn't seem likely.

 

Not that we'll ever learn either way.

[Horsy 193]

They won't need to close their eyes. Even if they fail there are drones that will suprise an unicorn with an explosion. If machine gunners spray the unicorn and it uses telekenesis for each bullet it's powers or mana will end. Nuclear bomb will do the job too. Biological weapons :/ meh why not?

[Irish Mist 119]

I always saw magic as charging the object with magical energies that permeate through it and then changing a property so that it will act different, such as changing it's mass so it will float. Shields are just enchanting the air, forming it together in a much tighter structure preventing objects from passing through it. Exceeding a certain amount of force will eventually break it like glass though (see changelings). I also believe in the line of sight rule so Unicorns need to be able to see what they are casting the spell on or it won't work.

 

But as for just the basic, ponies vs. guns. Ya, guns still hold the upper hand because ponies are still squishy and probably incapable of resisting a bullet. Or maybe because of "cartoon logic" their made out of cotton candy or pillows or something, and thereby, Immune to everything in forever. 

[SharpWit 2,775]

This sounds similar to any other debate with humans vs. (insert magic using nation, state, world). The way this would play out depends on whose attacking and whose defending. In both cases humans win, but more would die in battle if on the offensive than on the defensive. why? because people/ponies would do anything to save themselves including performing extremely immoral acts of war that go against the Geneva convention. the only three defenses that equestria has are it's guard, the unicorns, and pegasi. The pegasi with their speed present the challenge of moving targets but considering we can train our eyes to that and have turrets to specify such things they present few problems. the unicorns however can fire back at us and cast shields. but how effective are these shields? From a canterlot wedding we see that shining armor is able to cast a very powerful shield, but it was broken by an army of changelings, simply by slamming into the thing repeatedly. now this took some time but imagine a bullet hitting the shield. first of all can the shield withstand that? probably, but only for as long as the pony casting it could which may be not that long considering a bullet is a smaller more powerful thing to focus on rather than a body slam. so if a few bullets hit the shield, then i'm sure it would be fine. but with a whole barrage or something more powerful like a tank shell or any other large explosive device could easilly take it down. Now this is just for a personal bubble type shield. if it's that easy to get past a magical barrier that small, then simply add more ammunition to the equation and shields no matter who they are cast by will wear down fairly quickly. the royal guard is nothing for humans to worry abut. when the changelings attacked them, they hardly put up a fight. was there even violence of any form involved? the changelings didn't even scratch them yet they were defeated. that's just embarrassing. so score 1 for humans. score 0 for ponies

Well when you started talking about changelings, that gave me an idea. Wouldn't all the species of Equestria unite? so that means the changelings would come at us with sheer numbers. Just call it "The Charge Of Stalliongrad" and then we might actually have a problem! Oh my god so many good fanfic ideas in this. Wow.

Would all the species of equestria unite? no. In a war between humans and ponies, changelings would be a neutral force most likely. They have no personal connection with ponies and are probably in support of us winning the war as long as we leave them alone. If we were to attack them they would do better than the ponies in battle but of course still loose. They wouldn't join forces with an enemy to fight against another enemy because the phrase the enemy of my enemy is my friend doesn't work when everyone is an enemy to each other. It's like watching someone that beats you up, beat up the person you hate the most. Unless the changelings stab equestria in the back at some point they will never work together for any cause. The changelings aren't likely to ally with us because there is no personal connection between them and us but they may do so just so they don't get obliterated. It would practically be something similar to nazi germany and nationalist spain during world war 2. we would use their ports or whatever, there would be no fighting between us, but we wouldn't be true allies

[Scootalove 10,689]

Immune to bullets? No. If unicorns have the power to deflect the bullets back or make a magical force field that can protect them from the bullets, then that's a different story.
