The tech level seems all wrong for Rumples and Killian to be from the same kingdom (or the same time period anyways). Before Rumples became the dark one, The tech level was all swords, armor and knights (and magic of course) - 9th to 12th century feel. In the episode, Good Form, it felt more Late Renaissance (16th-17th century) where you had cannon and flintlocks clipper ships (and magic). Of course being OUAT. Worlds with magic are not going to (I suspect) develop tech as fast as LWM. Hmmm, I wonder if the denizens of Storybrooke ever make it back to FTW, would they contain all the knowledge of (and perhaps how) of 1980's (which is where Storybrooke is sorta stuck at for the most part) tech?

Having semi-automatic weapons and vehicles (even if it's just Mad Max type) is going to be rather effective against swords, bows & arrows, cannon and flintlocks and most of the normal army units that FTL could muster.
