9/10 Pippin needs a pair of those nuclear test goggles.

That fool of a Took would nuke Gondor by accident

What could be shoot that he didn’t already shoot? In the books, he already managed to fell a fell beast from long range. And it’s not like shooting the eye of Sauron with a sniper rifle would kill him.
the_joeba@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Not with that attitude
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
A sniper file would have stopped the orc that blows up the wall at helms deep.
explodicle@local106.com 9 months ago
Yeah but with the higher reload time, he might not have been ready for the first shot.
takeda@lemmy.world 9 months ago
He did all of that with a bow, imagine him with a sniper rifle…
jewbacca117@lemmy.world 9 months ago
it would be much harder to stab an orc with an arrow then shoot said arrow if Legolas was armed with a sniper rifle
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Same number of kills just at longer range. Gimli still wins.
Mango@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Honestly, it seems like he’d have about equal stopping or and slower fire rate.
nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
And it’s not like shooting the eye of Sauron with a sniper rifle would kill him.
I agree, but I still think someone should have tried. Even if it didn’t kill him there’s a giant gulf between not killing him and doing nothing.
This applies more to Voldemort than to the eye of Sauron tbh. Ofc he has horcruxes blah blah blah but if they just got an SAS sniper to shoot a 50 cal sniper round at him from a mile out - again, I’m not saying it would kill him but… would it have done nothing? All I’m saying is there’s a thing called die diligence and they should have at least tried.

He shoot his arrow faster than he can reload a sniper rifle, and he took down a freaking giant elephant with a freaking bow and arrow! Recoil will just slow him down.
And he mostly have to deal with load of uruks, an assault rifle will be better for him.

That’s an awfully thick book on the right to hold one page’s worth of material. Heck with a simple modification it could be one sentence:
“Legolas fires the ring straight into Mt. Doom with an RPG attachment.”
:-P
Crashumbc@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Or the eagles take the ring to mount doom… One page done
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Sauron was watching for that though. It’s easy to fly out of a place when the defenses are all down.

Every time I hear this idea, I think of this Oglaf comic

Wogi@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’m kinda sad it’s a normal size rifle. He’s a Hobbit it should be huge

ONE SHOT TWO KILLS MOTHERFUCKER!
ooterness@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Why does he still have a quiver full of arrows?
shadmere@lemmy.world 9 months ago
To load the gun. Pay attention!

It’s actually full of mags
Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 months ago
those are actually for cleaning the barrel
Abnorc@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Elves have standards.
Be polite.
Be efficient.
Have a plan to kill every orc you meet.
DogWater@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Reminds me of the sniper in saving Private Ryan.
Put me within 1 mile of the furer, you can pack it up boys, wars over, we going home
Or something like that
Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Lord of the rings but the giant eagles are stealth bombers.

Legolas: That only counts as one.

He called his house Legoland
doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Did Legolas even have a big role in the books?
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
It’s largely the same as the movie. The big difference would be the battle outside Minas tirith, the battle gets glossed over when the boats arrive with a regular army. He probably didn’t kill an elephant singlehandedly.
doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 9 months ago
So basically Legolas in the books with a Sniper Rifle is just Legolas in the movies?
EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 9 months ago
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 9 months ago
He basically did in the movies tho.
SkabySkalywag@lemmy.world 9 months ago
So did he shoot a bunch of songs and pages of description too?.. Cool, cool I mean I’d pay to see Tom Bombadil got shot in the dick …
