The only reason we get 3 books out of LOTR is because Legolas (and Gandalf) will it so. They could end the story at any moment but choose not to so others can have some fun

Excuse me, I played the Two Towers LOTR game and I learned that B+A+R was how Aragorn paused time whenever an orc attacked him to insta-kill it.

As someone who mained Aragorn because my brother was playing only legolas (poor gimli), while we were pressing 3 buttons to kill a single guy, legolas was pressing a single button to shoot 2 arrows that PIERCED EVEN SHIELDS, killing at the very least 2 orcs before we can even see them and sometimes even more cause they pierced through them. Im not bitter at all, its perfectly normal to remember this 20 years later.

Aragorn with Browning Automatic Rifle sounds about right. It was what Tolkien envisioned.
