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.
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 due 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.
They call in Gandalf in his A10 Thunderbolt II (because the eagles didn't have a 30mm GAU-8 Avenger). Drops a paveway on the Black Gate and dumps 1,174 30mm slugs and a few clusters of hydra 70mm rockets into the horde.
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.
Sniper Legolas would make some things easier, hunting the uruks would end with them all being shot well before fangorn. If he had infinite ammo, he probably would have taken out a huge chunk of orcs at helms deep before the seige.
Use the eagles? You don't just USE the Eagles. They are intelligent beings. They don't submit to the will of anyone. They kindly risked their lives toward the end, and only because things had escalated already.
One does not simply Mitsubishi four door
I can't rally the ring, Mr. Frodo...but I can rally you!
You're breaking the car Sam
ir!That is a reference to this video, which I had almost forgotten about (but you awakened my memory of).
Oh my god the pictures you chose are so beautiful
I wish I could say I made this
I had so much love, so much respect for you.
:(
You sit there and think about what you have done.
They fly, no fools... 🏎️
Strider is a black hawk pilot
It may be a short story but boy is it a movie I wanna see
5 right, very long, tightens.
3 left over crest, caution, narrow unseen hairpin
9/10 Pippin needs a pair of those nuclear test goggles.
Like he and Merry wouldn't have set it off in the Shire out of curiosity
Its bc Pippin is also the President of the United States
Bravo
That fool of a Took would nuke Gondor by accident
Lord of the nuclear weapons race.

Not with that attitude
A sniper file would have stopped the orc that blows up the wall at helms deep.
Yeah but with the higher reload time, he might not have been ready for the first shot.
He did all of that with a bow, imagine him with a sniper rifle...
Bayonet?
He could just do the equivalent and stab them with bullet, duh
Same number of kills just at longer range. Gimli still wins.
Honestly, it seems like he'd have about equal stopping and slower fire rate.

Also it might be possible that attacking the eye of soron could blind 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
Why does he still have a quiver full of arrows?
To load the gun. Pay attention!
In case of close quarters fighting
It's actually full of mags
those are actually for cleaning the barrel
Or the eagles take the ring to mount doom... One page done
Every time I hear this idea, I think of this Oglaf comic
Sauron was watching for that though. It's easy to fly out of a place when the defenses are all down.
He'd prefer if they walk

lord of the rings but gandalf has a trebuchet and mt. doom is within 300m
Lord of the Rings but Frodo has an assault rifle.
Frodo is a little bitch, give it to Sam
Lord of the Rings but Sam has an assault rifle... and an armored SUV
"Time to TRIM and MOW DOWN Mordor's orcish hordes!" - Samwise "The Gardener" Gamgee
I would watch this movie!
So yeah, pretty short. But if they are able to maintain stealth, then:
armored cars really only make sense for open areas, what they should have is 6-wheeled ATVs like finnish military messengers have.
Frodo is the sentient equivalent of tying the ring to a snail.
Jokes aside he is supposed to be exceptionally resilient to its corruption.
I'm kinda sad it's a normal size rifle. He's a Hobbit it should be huge
it was specially comissioned
ONE SHOT TWO KILLS MOTHERFUCKER!

My party does not care for me at all.
I'm an assassin not a crazed elf.
What's the difference. Well ones a job and the other is a mental sickness.
Gibliy put frodo on the communication spell.
Lord of the rings but the giant eagles are stealth bombers.
There must be room in the world for a high budget “Mordor vs USA” parody movie.
Or maybe a 30 second comedy video.
I think it's really stupid that Gandalf didn't just super Saiyan every obstacle like is he stupid?
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
Lord of the rings, but Gimli has a nuke
Gimli: levels the entire region of Mordor
Legolas: That only counts as one.
"What do your elf eyes see?" takes on a whole new meaning.
What do your elf eyes see?
Oh baby a triple
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 ...

He called his house Legoland
He basically did in the movies tho.

Shoooot. Just frodo walking out of the shire is the length of the one on the right.
Yeah but with the ancient elvish magic and longevity and blah blah and wave of the hands annnd his ears are fine!
He just kills Tom Bombadil and then throws the rifle away, doesn't like the smell.
loll this is also what i think if they just used the eagles logically
Use the eagles? You don't just USE the Eagles. They are intelligent beings. They don't submit to the will of anyone. They kindly risked their lives toward the end, and only because things had escalated already.
you are right. so sorry... one does not simply use the eagles
