Technology issues

What if Gondor or the Oathbreakers had rail guns or M1s to throw at Mordor? Or Rohan had B-2s to attack Barad-Dūr?

Or otherwise, just say that whatever was used at Dagorlad (3440 S.A.) was the best of pre-gunpowder technology. And that in 3018 T.A., gunpowder research was at its crudest stage. I thought that from Dagorlad, they might have developed gunpowder weapons to such an extent that they might have M1s or bazookas to throw at Mordor Orcs or B-2s to bomb Barad-Dur or the Black Gate.

1) then... Frodo would probably look like the guy in your avatar.
2) gunpowder just doesn't really fit into fantasy stories about elves, orcs and stuff, don't ya think...

I'll tell you that gunpowder was used at Helm's Deep. And secondly, F-22 pilot helmets are anti-glare and have an oxygen mask, which the guy in my avatar doesn't have. Imagine the Moria Subway, for instance.

There is no blasters in the scenario I laid out. The counterattack should have been of rail guns (still small enough to be carried over by infantry) and the rail guns could be dismissed as being magic implements, as would be all gunpowder-based weapons in Middle-Earth.

From what I know, the Mordor Orcs would have only have two occasions to capture the technology: either by capturing Minas ithil, or Osgiliath.

Forget the B-2s, but I wonder what a Sidewinder would do to a Nazgūl.

What would a raging flood would do to a Nazgūl? It says that no living man can kill a Nazgūl. So who would fire a Sidewinder at a Nazgūl and still have any chance of destroying it?

Of course not. Where in the movie do we see a raging flood hitting Nazgūl?
