New ME weapons? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Why couldn't the Free Peoples, have gained knowledge of how to make fireworks from Gandalf, then used them as weapons against Sauron.
They could have been used with arrowheads attached to their heads, a much more accurate arrow, also it could have been fired by people with much less strength.
It would disorientate those who were not prepared for them, aka. the orcs and other servants of Sauron.
It would burn skin and blind, perhaps if mixed with other substances.
And if they knew how to make fireworks with gunpowder, couldn't they have made more advanced weapons such as cannon and rifles.
