Should there be guns in Redwall

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Cannons aren't canon, though.

I only say singleshots, still.

To bring back up an old pun, I think from dannflorreguba,
'Gunpowder is non canon'

I think guns would be very interesting....

I'm one of those who feels guns mess the historical intimacy of the stories.  If we're looking at a primarily "dark ages" medieval period, guns weren't yet in existence, though not far off from becoming commonplace among Europeans and the Ottomans.  As I said before, Redwall isn't blood enough for some people?  A gun would blow a mouse to pieces, quite literally.

But a badger would take several before going down, 50cent style

but if it was a slow not too powerful gun would be fine its just like a bow but with lead bullets

[Redwaller]

But it would still be too pwerful for Redwall. Imagine a badger having a minigun, which would mean an enormous gun for mice, then it would be too easy to win.

[Romsca]

Not if it was really, really inaccurate. Anyway, a badger with a huge spear or bow and arrow would be just as deadly

[Rusvul]

The thing about a flintlock, though, is how long it takes to load. I believe it was something like a 43 step process. In the time that a musketeer could have loaded and fired one shot, ensuring the death of one beast, a skilled longbowman could have fired something like five shots. And somebeast with a crossbow would be about to fire. Seriously, crossbows take even longer. The only thing that makes flintlock muskets better than a bow is that they pierce armor. Which in Redwall, would be more of a balancing act than anything else. Pistols are a different story, as they can be carried loaded and dual-wielded with a sword. Can't do that with a bow or crossbow.
