its fuckin’ magic - aint gotta explain shit.

wasn’t calamity trained as a sniper?
 
they have a lot more time to aim, and benefit more from powerful, high caliber weaponry.
 
so a battle saddle isn’t all that dumb
 

 
littlepip’s gun is f-ing stupid though.

If Octavia can stand on her hind legs while holding a bow and cello and play it without fingers then a gun can’t be that hard.

This is why ponies use cannons

It’s almost like there’s a reason horses aren’t the dominant species on the planet.

How about a smaller, lighter version of a battle saddle with a single gun mounted on their shoulder, where the eye piece would aid in aiming
 
or… gun hat

I’m kinda surprised someone got so defensive about Horse guns.

Human firearms, especially pistols doesn’t make much sense on ponies but… they are just cool, plus that existing designs use in military and movies and games e.g. AR-15 family are just easier to accept than something original designed for ponies to use.

If you actually read the stories, then you would know that battle saddles have an eye-piece for aiming. Also, how else would Earth Ponies/Pegasi shoot their guns? It may be awkward but remember, we as humans used to have to prop early gunpowder weapons against the ground or a piece of wood to even shoot it.
 
Horse jaws are much stronger than human jaws also most mouth-held weaponry have anti-recoil gems. They are also designed in such a way to not kick into the jaw as much as human weapons are kicking in that direction.
 
So yeah, another case of not reading the source mat.
