Gimli would be too rough and stubborn a ring bearer. Imagine Gimli trying to persuade Faramir and the other Rangers of Ithilien to let him leave Henneth Annun. Of course this would have been done under the swift strokes of a dwarf axe, and while he may have eliminatd more than one Ranger, he certainly wouldn't have killed them all. His obstinence would have forced Faramir (or whoever was left) to lock him up in chains and drag him back to Minas Tirith. No, Gimli would have failed well shore of his goal, but this is only my opinion.
