I'm re-reading The Hobbit at the moment. Gandalf might not be a conjurer of cheap tricks, because he's only packing the expensive, high-caliber stuff. (files.mastodon.social)

Well he is wielder of the flame of Anor, and I don't think you can put a muzzle on the sun.

Are there guns in LOTR? How would Bilbo know the smell of gunpowder or call it as such?

The Hobbit has a narrator, who speaks from a "modern" perspective. It describes in the beginning how Hobbits are few now and avoid the tall folk, all that. So I'm fairly sure this is the narrator giving a frame of reference, rather than Bilbo knowing the smell.

Later it is also said that Orcs are cunning inventors of things that kill, including things that kill a lot of people at once.

Not only that, but in LoTR Helms Deeps outer wall is blown up with gun powder or similar.

I thought the Hobbit was meant to be written by Bilbo so a modern narrator explains it.

I knew there were things like explosives and fireworks, but unless guns are a common use, calling black powder "gunpowder" is weird so I wouldn't expect middle earth to have that word.

There are also things like cuckoo clocks and a reference to a train.

Fireworks. Gandalf is famous for them.

"I'm sorry, you can't pass" Gandalf said calmly.
