User blog comment:MyOpinion:/Redwall's future/@comment-1421927-20100515202712

I have noticed that people get bent out of shape if you even think about having Redwallers have canons or guns (Not AK-47s or semi-automatic rifles, but old-school guns) in a Fan Fiction.

I see what you mean, but of course, Redwall isn't based on the historical timeline of Earth, so he can mess around a bit with stuff. Plus, I think somebody getting sniped isn't half as fun reading somebody in an intense sword duel. But, your point is a good one.

And I think that the idea of Redwall becoming a more modern, or even futuristic, place has captured the minds of many fan fictions writers here, including my own.
