He shoot his arrow faster than he can reload a sniper rifle, and he took down a freaking giant elephant with a freaking bow and arrow! Recoil will just slow him down.
And he mostly have to deal with load of uruks, an assault rifle will be better for him.
It’s largely the same as the movie. The big difference would be the battle outside Minas tirith, the battle gets glossed over when the boats arrive with a regular army. He probably didn’t kill an elephant singlehandedly.
Sniper Legolas would make some things easier, hunting the uruks would end with them all being shot well before fangorn. If he had infinite ammo, he probably would have taken out a huge chunk of orcs at helms deep before the seige.
What could be shoot that he didn’t already shoot? In the books, he already managed to fell a fell beast from long range. And it’s not like shooting the eye of Sauron with a sniper rifle would kill him.

I agree, but I still think someone should have tried. Even if it didn’t kill him there’s a giant gulf between not killing him and doing nothing.
This applies more to Voldemort than to the eye of Sauron tbh. Ofc he has horcruxes blah blah blah but if they just got an SAS sniper to shoot a 50 cal sniper round at him from a mile out - again, I’m not saying it would kill him but… would it have done nothing? All I’m saying is there’s a thing called due diligence and they should have at least tried.
