bedlamsbardGiven Narnian resources, explosives knowledge, and a grudge, Peter and Edmund will:
a) introduce the concept of black powder to Narnia
b) raise holy hell
c) reconquer Narnia (for the THIRD TIME)
d) ALL OF THE ABOVE
ETA: I see y'all are opposed to the black powder notion. Tactical advantage. CANON, also, by the way; the Telmarines have fireworks, and I would be severely surprised if, three hundred years later, they had not managed to make those into weapons because that is what human beings do. And even if the Telmarine Narnians hadn't, the Calormenes most certainly would have unless they have some other resource that's going to take their place. Greek fire, yes; I don't remember if I ever explicitly stated it, but it was used in the Golden Age by Narnia and probably everyone else in the area, although they didn't call it Greek fire, obviously. And Greek fire is nastier than gunpowder.
And just for the record, the only way I'm going to have it in the story is if I decide they need to blow something up, which may or may not happen.
ETA2: Okay, y'all know what, I'm sick of talking about it. And I'd just like to point out that, one, nowhere did I actually say the words "guerilla war," and, two, China: gunpowder invented 850 AD, used in combat 919 AD, cannon invented 1126, firearms dated to 1290. (Source.) And talking about this is putting me in a bad mood, and now I am very tempted to introduce a plague for no good reason. I already burned half the forests in Narnia down; how much worse can their situation get?
