I suppose not.  But effectively the shotgun is next to the rocking chair . . .  ::)
Wouldn't a dragon-sized shotgun be a Punt Gun?

With an underbarrel punt gun.

Great Dragon-sized shotgun would be an M65 Atomic Cannon... Hehehe.

Nah. Great Dragon-sized/scaled (!) shotgun would be metaphorical.

Metaphorical... Is that a new brand of gun made with metatypes in mind?

I am wondering about Lowfry, is he up something else from the novels? I did not read them. I know about the possible dragon war but not sure about other things.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Lofwyr's up to his scaly golden snout in other things.  Certainly he's got his talons in the war, but he's setting the pieces up so that no matter the outcome, he wins.

Might be a small win compared to the best case scenario, but it'll be a win for him nonetheless.

Don't forget that dragons take a long, looooong view. A dragon war might play out over centuries.

Makes you wonder if this is just a stage in war that began a long time ago. Like all long wars, there are peaks and troughs in activity.  Maybe they are just getting a bit more active in ther long cold war.

Also makes you wonder what such evolved creatures are really at war over (or if they really war at all, but I guess they do because Lowfyr killed a rival early in this age.)  Territory? Material Power?  Metaphyscial Power?  Status? Survival?

With we know about dragons and their rites and rituals, it way just look like big game of chess to us.  I will serious doubt they literally fight each other head,  seen and commotion it will cause would be the last thing dragons would want. I have a feeling any war between dragons would be done via proxy kind like in Survival of the Fittest.

I won't comment on its veracity, but my favorite description of the state of the conflict so far is from a fan who describes it as a courtship ritual between Hestaby and Lofwyr.

If it is courtship I find it amusing that dragons have the same courtship rituals as kindergartners, hairpulling and namecalling.

"Silly little things, thinking it's only chess.  It's far, far more complicated than that.  Actually, it's similar to some of their earlier role playing games.  I like those, they work the brain nicely."

Great, baby dragons...

It would make sense if it was a courtship, proving each others worth...

Kids are rather smart for certain things.
