how they mighty had fallen

Princess Erroria is adorable. She sits on my bedside table, watching over me as I sleep.
On those rare occasions when I sleep. She stands right next to my lava lamp.
6102570 do not touch my Seras... this is a cannon harkonnen MK II
Oh, what an adorable little eldritch abomination trapped in mortal flesh she is.
6103565
Oh come on, cheesy dialogue is allowed!
And mine, methinks.
D'awwwww at some point all children are the embodiment of evil. She just needs wubs...
Oh, and congrats, Kudz. It happened a while back, but you are now the proud owner of the longest pony fanfiction on fimfiction.
Yaaaaaay.
I wonder what a zap from cadence would do to it....... of course that might just explode the little demon.
Hmmm....... if she is buckys blood then.............. lunacy vs sombra! Taking all bets!
I can certainly understand Luna's fear. After all, she isn't just meeting herself. She's meeting the concentrated, absolute worst parts of herself, the parts that got her banished for a millennium, the parts she wants absolutely nothing to do with in herself, much less as another pony.
They may need to call in Cadance for this one...
Meanwhile, thought and memory will lead the effort to redeem gun and griffon both, a pair of grim ravens in the service of Odin and his valkyrie.
Oh, and I've found more for you to love:
There
Mine.
So much for the Fates' plans to get rid of guns...
6103882 Well, not for the intent they were initially used for. Guns are only tools. They are used with the purpose the user has in mind. The Fates did not want them as tools of massacres. Of course, Bucky has his own ideas, even if he can be dense at times.
6103527 Hey, PM me a plushie you would like. I'll mail it the end of the month.
6103939
<--- This one.
Ugh, Belisama no. Everyone will use griffons with guns being good as an example to have guns themselves. ._.
Also why are they making it their mission to make Luna accept Nightmare? They don't know what it's like to be attached to such a seething raw hatred for a thousand years, who are they to make that decision when they can't comprehend what it was like for her? Luna is only a foal in body, they are not her parents and they can't adequately understand her and all of her feelings due to being unable to have experienced them.
Help Luna forgive herself, but don't act like she needs to be tolerant or accepting of the Nightmare.
6104009
Oh, others will be using guns. Don't worry. The earth pony mobile 20mm artillery units are coming.
As for the Nightmare... look at this way. Luna still fears what she became. It is important to face your fears.
But this isn't just for Luna's sake. Imagine being poor Lunacy and never quite finding out why auntie Luna hates your guts. Imagine how that might feel. A nice Hearth's Warming Eve... everyone is happy... and auntie Luna is like "fuck off."
Ouch. How is that fair to Lunacy?
6104119
Only 20mm?m.quickmeme.com/img/79/794106a2ce678473c4430d4c227258346cab6d8480a23e5d857c97d5e9d4a0f9.jpg

When it happens, it will make more sense. Think... jury rigging.
Muzzle on her muzzle; strangely amusing.
"Bucky nuzzles with his muzzles
especially when he's buzzled with the boozle and if you try to stop that it will be bad for youzzle
cuz-he'll make you wish you snoozeld as he makes you all a-smoozeld."

**Snaps fingers for applause**
Groovy!
Ok one thing that bothers me, semiautomatic pistols convert recoil into energy to reload the round. So recoil is less than a revolver that transfers 100% of the recoil into the user. The only thing that lessens the revolver recoil is the weight but more energy to hold the weapon is needed.
Pistols transfer recoil up and back, Revolvers use weight and gravity to lessen it's effects. Semiautomatic pistols transfers most of the up energy back to the user so it's easier to stay on target. The fact that it's lighter means the user conserves strength and can use it for longer periods.
6104483
True. But semi-automatic pistols also tend to have a bit of lift once they fire, while a revolver can stay on target.
You can get a much tighter spread with a good a revolver.
6104502
Only if the weight of the revolver overcomes the recoil. Semiautomatic pistols were designed to lessen recoil. Also try holding a 20lb brick out at full extension your arm will lose strength before long. In a battle muscle fatigue is very bad.
6104535
I wasn't trying to say one was better than the other... why does this always happen...
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Both are useful. Both are good for different purposes and reasons.
Different horses for different courses.
6104166
Hmmmmm.... So similar to knee mortars?
6104546
Do you really want me to spoil what will happen?
6104557
Depends on how far in the future going to be hahaha. You can spoil me on whether they mobile artillery eventually get bigger guns
6104544
I'm trying to say that Revolvers are becoming obsolete for a reason, the only reason Revolvers are still reliable is semiautomatic pistols tend to jam. My Glock Austrian usually throws a shell when I don't have a firm enough grip, but my S&W .38 would be thrown way off target if I had the same grip. But I always felt the glock held sight better than the revolver.
6104566
Revolvers? Obsolete?
More revolvers are being sold now than ever, according to S&W sales data.
J frames are best sellers for home and personal defense.
Among friends, you don't talk about politics, religion, or revolvers vs pistols.
6104570
I kind of feel that has more to do with ammo availability, 9mm are a pain to find since everyone uses them. Revolvers are a good secondary gun, since ammo consumption is lower. But as a primary weapon there are many drawbacks. Of course this is all personal opinion based on observation. So if the data says otherwise then maybe I'm wrong.
6104576
Lol, I see this now.
6104607
Nothing drops a home invader like a .357 magnum round with a jacketed hollow-point.
If I may express my opinion, 9mm are junk. They get good men killed. Police are outgunned and out armored in too many places now. We need a return to detective special .357s and .44s.
I'm old fashioned. I said it. I loathe the 9mm round. If I am going to have a magazine fed pistol, it is going to fire .45 rounds or 10mm. Or maybe the old reliable .357 round.
The 9mm was intended to be a kinder, gentler round, non lethal, with a high chance to survive with no lasting long term injuries. Fuck that. If I have to shoot somebody, I want that fucker dead, I want his corpse dismembered, and I want his brains all over the wall.
For me, it is a matter of simple practicality. A gun is not a weapon meant to discourage somebody or take somebody down, it is meant to kill something. We have tasers for non lethal takedowns.
6104119
Dunno Kudz. Does it matter what's fair to her? Why force that on Luna? If we're talking about what's fair, Luna has more to deal with than the Nightmare. If Nightmare's... mind has been regressed fully into foalhood or whatnot, then all she knows is she's related to someone who's distant and thus is a relative non-entity to her. We've all got aunts and uncles we never really talk to, don't we? It's not traumatizing, it's expected. What would be traumatizing is making a big deal of Luna being able to accept something that none of them can ever comprehend. Who are they to make that decision, they're not even middle-aged, are they? What do they know of a thousand years of torment and insanity? Do they expect Luna to just magically get over it in a day? A week? A year? A decade? A thousand years of hatred and loss and betrayal goes away sometime within their brief mortal lifespans?
If Luna or Celestia came up with this on their own, that'd make more sense. They know that life, that pain. But this? It's like a five year old taking charge of helping an eighty year old through trauma. The kid just knows they want the elderly person to smile and be happy, but they couldn't understand the person or their pain. Cannot. Completely alien. Guesswork at best, and even then they'd lack experience to found proper guesswork to begin with. Can't switch this around to what's fair for the Nightmare. Either she has her full mind and she has all the memories and personality of a demonic world-ending tyrant built on jealousy, hatred, and self-imposed angst, or she's a hate-entity with a fresh mind and thus you can't be unfair to her by keeping her away from Luna because it wouldn't hurt her to have something taken away she never had in the first place.
Dunno, just the story flow with this bit feels like we're supposed to feel more for 'Lunacy' than anyone else involved in this situation and that we and the characters are supposed to just accept her because she's a foal, at least in body, perhaps in mind. One of those points that breaks my immersion, it's not sensible in the least that everyone will come to love something like this unconditionally. At this point it's like being held above their heads. "If you don't give it real love and companionship it'll turn into the Nightmare again and try to destroy the world." Gee thanks Flutters, and to think we could have avoided it trying to destroy the world altogether by putting Bucky in the burny-clink for a few days or so while convening with all the experts and powers that be to erase the Nightmare out of Bucky's head for good.
Give it a look-over with my thoughts in mind, you really can't see where I'm coming from?
6104648
The burny klink would have been permanent. No returns. No leaving. Ever. That was a one way portal for a reason.
6104665
Tirek got out. Surely they didn't just usher him in to a low-security cell two doors down from the exit. Plus it's Tartarus, you mean to tell me Scorch, the Lord of Tartarus, can't simply just pull Bucky out? Or Celestia, the Gatekeeper, can't yank him back to the Material? That's also the least issue of which I spoke about.
6104676
No. Scorch is only the Lord of the Plane of Fire. Celestia wanted to use Bucky as a prison to hold the nightmare for all eternity in Tartarus.
That is why others were upset.
Bucky, going to Tartarus in body, would have been functionally immortal.
6104643
I can agree with this, but it's more than just having the firepower. Not every encounter needs the biggest strongest maximum force. Sometimes a round through the chest is enough to disable someone. If not that's what secondary weapons are for. Use to be where patrol cars carried a universal key for thoes stubborn targets. And if more was needed that what SWAT is for. Carrying 30 extra pounds of gear just to have a slight power advantage proved to be unreliable for everyone. So big powerful guns are saved for special occasions.
6104686
A lemon squeezer .357 on a J frame weighs less than a pound. With the right bullet, it will blow a grapefruit sized hole through a human body.
For a woman home alone or a truck driver being held up, this is the ideal weapon. Shoot once and trouble is done.
6104684
At some point I want to see a map of your idea of Tartarus, so we know what all's where and have a nice list of references.
This still doesn't address my more important points made in that post up there. It's not clear how they believe they know better and think it'll all be over with just a little elbow grease or something. More than ten generations were born, grew old, and died while Luna was exposed to her Nightmare. How can they be sure this is what she needs? What makes them not respect her wishes to not be around the hate-entity that was the part of her that ruined her life? They're what? 30-40? They can't actually believe they know better than she does, do they? Is that equine hubris going to be rebuffed, or is Luna somehow just going to get over this within a couple chapters?
6104723
Not a couple of chapters, no.
Years.
6104707
I guess we can go on and on here, (imo) logistically semiautomatic pistols are better. But on a use by use basis revolvers can be better. Since in the chase the caliber is the same on both guns (they are right?) my point still stands that semiautomatics have a better design if the user is properly trained in their use. Revolvers benefit the unskilled.
6104748
I dunno... it is said a man with a revolver only needs six shots.
6104729
That's better, at least. Didn't like that things seem to be pointing to this unanimous acceptance of a genocidal monstrosity just because it was given the body of a child.
6104748
Some of the revolvers have an extended chamber for a 'magnum' round.
So there is a difference.
6104751
And with the same rounds the automatic can do the same and still have four rounds.
6104756
Now all they need is a grenade launcher that launches area magic pot rounds and your heavy calvary will be complete.
6104753
Luna will actually have a conversation with Lunacy at some point, when Lunacy is older.
