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.

-Gandalf ‘MilF-huntir Double G’ the Grey seconds before mowing down some goblins.
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.
Well he is wielder of the flame of Anor, and I don’t think you can put a muzzle on the sun.
I love watching Gandelf .45 on YouTube

“I’m sorry, you can’t pass” Gandalf said calmly.
