    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.

      He did all of that with a bow, imagine him with a sniper rifle…

        it would be much harder to stab an orc with an arrow then shoot said arrow if Legolas was armed with a sniper rifle

        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.

      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.

        Also it might be possible that attacking the eye of soron could blind him.
