Fuck reloading. March up to the enemy, fire a single volley and then charge ’em Carolean style!

*How do you reload.

@1xmushroom1x, yes I understand and I knew that, what I meant was that judging by the fact that ponies are quadrupeds and how their articulations work (and lack of fingers, opposite thumbs etc), they will be very clumsy at using firearms, if they were fighting against humans with the same technology, the humans will decimate them quickly simply because they can aim, shoot and reload faster and more efficiently (we design our weapons to adapt to our bodies, not the other way around)

@vlakc for the longest time guns were placed on rods like a monopod like that to help aim the ridiculously long barelled gun. older wheel lock, flintlock, and matchlock rifles/muskets dated between the 1500’s and the early 1700’s were made with the monopod like shown above.

Yeah… I don’t think ponies can bend their hooves to use swords like that and the way they use the gun seems unpractical for warfare.
 
But who cares the art is great! XD
