Ironshod Firearms is a weapon development and manufacturing company, with a facility in the town of Hope. Their motto is "How do you like them apples?".
A recording found at the Ponyville factory hints that Ironshod is run by the extended Apple family. Ironshod Firearms was commissioned by Applejack to create Little Macintosh for her in memory of her deceased brother, and was made as a more powerful variant of the Scoped .44 Revolver. Ironshod also used vending machines to distribute ammo, specifically Ironshod's Ammo Emporium machines.

IF-100 "Thunderhoof" - Anti-Materiel Rifle, .50 caliber. Shares an IF designation with the Brown Betty, possibly as an attempt to confuse zebra spies.

The stallion Trottenheimer is found dead inside an Ironshod Research and Development facility. He had possibly been working there on his private project, Project Starfall, for Goldenblood. He is found with the unique and powerful weapon, Trottenheimers Folly.
Notes[]
- Given that Ironshod may have been run by the Apple family, it isn't a stretch to think that Ironclad might also have been owned by the Apple family, especially since Braeburn is mentioned in both visited locations, indicating he is a high-ranking executive or even the possible owner.
- It can be inferred that most of the pre-War weapons in the Wasteland were created by them.
- They created the unique Scoped .44 Revolver, Little Macintosh.
