Hmmm, I can see your point, MyOpinion, but I don't really agree. First of all, it's not really necessary for technology to improve throughout the novels. I, personally, would not care to see guns in Redwall. Although I am interested in almost every gun in existence, I don't think it would fit in with the theme [even if they are simple flintlocks or arquebuses]. Half the reason I read the books is because they contain the old-fashioned melee warfare, the type of warfare where it actually takes guts to go and charge straight at the foe and beat him to pieces. Albeit the books don't go into incredible detail on this element, and there isn't a ton of it, but that's one of the reasons I like it.
