Luna had just been finishing her 100th run in her new engine and had just been notified that there was a prisoner from Tartarus that had escaped, naturally Celestia being the idiot she was had sent Twilight Sparkle with all the power of the Alicorns to fight him, however she failed miserably, so it was Luna's turn next and she had a piece of weaponry just perfect for this, it is called the Paris railgun. 

so Luna travels back to Manhattan and picks it up, then runs over just 10 miles away from where Tirek was last seen.

"Coordinates 14.5, 150, 300 prepare to fire" L0una instructed the soldiers manning it.
The gun cranks it's way to the designated target.
"prepared to fire" the soldiers responded
"FIRE!" Luna commands
All of a sudden there is a loud BOOM as the gun fires, and the barrel retracts four whole feet from the recoil, but naturally due to superior intelligence, the round hits home and Tirek is killed in a single shot.
