Here you go!
She
Hey, that's my third choice of waifu you're talking about!
All kidding aside, I'm certain Bucky sees the irony in his statement.
I think equestria will have to enter the arms race or end it completely and quickly otherwiseEquestria will probably end up as a sea of bones but not by the alicorn of war
- And, now, boys and girls, we learn why you should never, ever FUCK WITH THE DAMN FIRST DIRECTIVE !!!! Now beam down to the fucking planet and get that phaser back before the natives start to make their own energy weapons !!!!!
- Captain Kirk fucked with the first directive. Several times, actually.
- Ensign, are you Captain Fucking Kirk ?
- Errrr...no, sir...
- Captain Kirk pretty much fUcked everything that crossed his way...booth literally and metaphoracally...when you become Captain Kirk I´ll eat my phaser, fart a shot in my own head and THEN I´ll let you fuck with the First Directive...AM I CLEAR ENSIGN !?
- Cristal, sir...

Well of course he does. Which is why he said it. Bucky is capable of biting sarcasm as we've seen.
i mean, he is all of those things and he still somehow a valued member of society.
5486154 Which is entirely why I pointed it out. It's nice to characters with a modicum of self-awareness.
what material are they using for bullets and the guns? cause if they are a brass/metal alloy any unicorn could produce an static energy causing the barrels and bullets to warp. rendering them useless.
i read in a book that the brass in the bullets were expanded using the a charge in the air which made them too big to fire from the gun
maybe the omnicon gave them the knowledge of those weapons in hopes of everyone kill each other and/or bringing out the alicorn of war
Such a thing could only lead to disaster. A Game series I am somewhat found of called Star Ocean had this in spades in all of it's games, Especially the PS3/360 one Called Star Ocean: The Last Hope which is a prequel to them all. Basically It is bad for any kind of advanced Technology to be introduced to a Society not yet ready for it: AKA A Society not yet developed enough to understand the proper way to use it. Any Advanced Technology being introduced to a unadvanced world screws with the natural progress and development of the world and it's people throwing it into chaos that could likely destroy them.
That is probably why Twilight has not brought back books on Technology from beyond the mirror. She likely knows that if they were ready for such Technology they would have it or be developing it already.

Considering Trottingham and other Old World Pony Countries keep Unicorns on Drugs to make them only good for menial magic tasks, that isn't an option for them. Also, I bet any unicorn with a talent involving magnetism could handle the guns just as easily as Magneto.
5486221
So what if necessity forced Twilight to step through the mirror and return with a few books... what then?
5486305
Keep it controlled. No leaks. Any leaks, you consider it an act of sedition and punish it hard. HARD. Only the people who need to build and operate are to have any access, and they'll have geas on them to swear them to secrecy. One constructed to wipe their brains of the information should they either willingly attempt to speak of it or if they start to unwillingly divulge it.
If it gets widespread, those who are self-interested will have new ways to get a leg up over others. Gaining disproportionate power and ability and disrupting what peace there is to be found.
5486237
Convenient that they'll be realizing that they need unicorn -citizens- instead of unicorn -slaves- now, isn't it?
5486144
Hey, seriously. Chrysalis is hot. Bucky'd have to be crazy (in a way he's not already) not to be the least bit attracted.
5486148
It's the Prime Directive actually.
5486361 Bucky is crazy, though, so the point is moot. Also pulling more ass than a Grand Canyon tour guide, so much so that hotness outside his wives is as effective as spraying a bonfire with a spritzer.
Star Treks prime directive comes to mind.
Mass Effects Krogan are a good example of why the Federation had it, even though they are in different universes. It might be good for a short time, but then it goes all horribly wrong.

To be fair, Bucky was also talking about himself there. He is all of those things.
He actually likes Chrysalis.
5486519 Well, I was going to find a 'pot calling the kettle black' meme, but...these went well together and I giggled like an idiot before posting.

......... i am really struggling with imagining guns being a legitimate threat to magic and technology having anything resembling use to be honest. or at least be a standing threat. not when magic subverts matter and matter is what technology is built of. magic and tech combined would be powerful, but the idea of using technology alone and facing magic is basically imagining civil war soldiers besting the covenant from halo.
and i am including potions in this assessment, something all species have access to. a potion is basically a liquid spell.
a bullet is nothing but a piece of accelerated matter. you could make a hat that has an enchantment that repels bullets. or a pendant, or even armor. it would not be complicated compared to trying to repel magic, which can have attributes and even damage enchantments. and refining a spell or method would make it all the more effective. ultimately all you would need to know about bullets is how a bullet functions and how to make magic counteract that function. even a machine gun could be left moot at that point.
if magic lacked the power of ingenuity that would be one thing...... it does not. you do not have to have the ponies, and other magical creatures, have naturally occurring magical life support and regeneration for modern technology to become nothing in the face of some eldritch reality altering force.
bucky is creating a spell that senses aggressive intent and alters matter into another form. it seems plausible her oculd create a spell that takes advantage of a gun's physics based limits and makes a bullet, least a normal bullet, moot.
Huh, the existence of "our" reality is known, so why not connect the two worlds? Trading knowledge, magic and technology, I'm sure the mirror travelers would be fairly screwed, we are really deadly creatures when it comes to it.
This would be an HIE fic too.
So, what's stoping that from happening?
5486383 that is a good example. albeit they were also giving them the same level of advantage.
i can only see guns here as a dangerous bit of matter. and that it is taking an abnormally long time for the ponies to remember magic and potions can alter matter at will.
5486640 Bucky is slacking on his golem network, clearly.
5486613
It is not like the real-world is any better equipped than Equestria for dealing with armed assaults. Connecting a portal would not help them much with that - it would not magically negate the gun threat.
5486944
An alliance could be made, that would certainly make things complicated, but also better.
5486102 nice one
5486148 Bucky will be the next Captain Kirk... he does has his own ship to sail the skys
5486361 Fuck controlled, the elite only = Alicorns, but to use tech need people to do so, leak is bound to happen. only option is to control the leak of tech... and advance it slow, faster then natural progress... instead of 10 years to make a discovery they can leak it in 1 making a rapid progress into modern tech without jumping ahead.
but we need to remember that they have archno-tech, magic infused... combine the 2 and you have hell of a ride
just think ammo... now days? explosive, armor piercing ect... now imagine fire/ice/electric/spell ammo.... hit a target? zap it to hell, miss it? small field magic, burn anything in 1m radius... the option are limitless
5486505 He insulted out chrysalis
5486519 your life was spared
5486589 why do i bother...
Magic isn't a solution to all things, in this case bullets have very simple law behind them... physics shoot a mass of X with a speed of Y and you get N force applied to anything in its way, magic twists the laws but also follows basic rules, more magical force can brake lesser force
so if the N is bigger then the shield you have, you are going to have a bad day
now lets take something else very simple, unicorns can use magic, the number of unicorns that can use magic is less then the non magical ponys and all the other kind of creatures .
so you can arm more "people" with a high tech weapon that needs low tech understanding... think middle ages, bow... a good archer could shoot X times with high accuracy... then we got crossbow, simple that anyone can use with high fire rate and higher amount of people to use it
magic doesn't solve anything... more over when you have levels
Twi/Luna/Celestia/Bucky = nuke level, can reduce a city to ash
lower levels are small fire arms mostly with lvl 2~1
lvl 3~4 are short in supply and not all of the practice offensive magic
also... this is how i imagine the march of Buckys golems
Well, twilight always struck me as the "redundant to innovate" so I would assume she either hasn't thought of it or simply dragging her hooves about it.
Hey... Wait a shotgun cocking second.
What the fuck stops them from going there and ask their human counterparts to print out some info about Kevlar and bulletproof glass?
Oh my, what an interesting turn of events. I cant wait to see the confrontation between Twilight and Chrysalis. As for the weapons, I figured it was something to do with the mirror travelers. Considering how the old world ponies don't seem to put much stock in unicorns, I suppose that the mirror travelers will start focusing on them, using the unrest in Minos as a cover. All in all a good chapter, and on a side note *takes deep breath* OhMyGawd Sentinel and diamond tiara are so damn cute together!
5487101 And, then, the enemy step up and we´ll see penetration ammo, grenades and quimic weapons...
Those are all temporary solution. They need a final solution.
5487146 touché
This bringing other equipment from another world make me thinking, why did they stole from that specific universe? there could be some other with better technology and be even worse than massacre with those. Also if we are here, why is not they conquer a place which is filled with caveman ponies? And why bring guns when there are even deadlier things they could get, some desise or chemical weapon, like mustard gas or something?
5487278
Not all magic is the same in each when and where, as it has been pointed out. The mirror traveler's magic is super strong in this Equestria, as we've seen. In say, the world next door where Sunset Shimmer was banished, there is magic, but it is not the sort of magic they could exploit for conquest.
Magic is their lifeblood. It is how they have survived for so long. They're not going to settle in a place where they are magically inferior for a variety of logical reasons.
Ive been reading this since it only had 80-90 chapters (ah memories) and I must say I LOVE your update speed I normally put away a story on an hour or two and have to wait MONTHS for more, but not with you. Anyways is it weird I ship growler and sweet pea? Like I picture her getting bullied and growler stepping in thus starting the whole I cant have feelings for my best freind thing rainbow dash had...this story is breaking me
5487568
You should try reading his diamond dog romantic comedy with Screwloose. It is adorable, and deals more in depth with body image issues, like those that made Sparkler endearing and interesting in the beginning of the chase.
Now if Sunset Shimmer described some of our made up weapons... That may have broken their minds.
5488620 Or imagine if she described our perceptions of magic formed in the absence of magic as it is in The Chase. They'd have probably gotten a good laugh out of that.
imagine the advances that could be made by hybridizing human tech with magic
5502801
Or perhaps...Fallout Equestria occurs as lands fight for resources to power their new grand machines
So the minotaurs think they're so good with their machineguns.
Well, Bucky should go to Sunset's world and come back with a minigun. Then the whole problem would be cleared right up.
5998563 yup as well as a few million rounds... also maybe an anti tank rifle for luna... Bitches love Cannons.
..............................well shit.

5486305 Then she introduces the internet and thereby rapidly ramps up knowledge acquisition and information sharing, This then leads to breakthroughs in the sciences and technology. Then they begin engaging in biological warefare using remote controlled robots. A virus, bacteria, spore, poison or gas which then attacks the arcane dependency of the mirror travellers. It's right up the Accountant's alley. A warfare of attrition, the attacking an infrastructure, engine, or institution enabling the enemy to continue their fight. Which is why accountants make for scary war generals, especially when they don't see dead soldiers and civilians as impacting the society and psyches of the world in which they lived, but are merely seen as numbers and considered as 'detrimental resource decrement.'

And Bucky is an accountant...
