So you decided to go to war with Wizards

[DuskServent]

Stuff happens, the wizards from Harry Potter are real, and war has begun.
You can use whatever you can think of against them in this war, an army of polar bear cavalry, a chaingun, ninjas, special ops teams to do hit and away tactics, nano suits, giant robots that chicks dig, anything at your imagination/disposal.

Also, guns work in magical areas. Cause really, they are not electrical or anything, except for their additional parts that are. So really, I'm pretty sure someone could have used a gun at Hogwarts.

So, what would you use, why and how well do you think you will do?

Me, giant robots.

Why?
Because I wanted to!

How well I think i'll do?
...Wizards versus giant robots(reals and supers), pretty much won right then and there.

A bunch of Marine Scout Snipers and Delta Force operatives. The snipers would take out the more expeerienced/powerful ones before they even knew what was going on and the Delta Force guys would be in and among them blowing stuff up and causing general mayhem.

Anyone with any kind of basic camo and a decent range gun could handle a wizard in a fight no problems.

Simple a magic nullify cannon (like a magic emp to wizard) duh

Go MW2 multiplayer on their asses and bombard them with AC-130s.

Who needs an army?

Give a couple of guys a gun with lots of ammo, and make sure their mothers' love them. That way they can just go around shooting wizards while being immune to spells. They'll even get a couple of cool-looking scars out of it.

*Edit* Wait... the mothers may have to be murdered for the power of love to work. I forget some of the specifics.

 

[FllippinIDIOT]

with my own army of wizards. think about it, wizard vs wizard war, pretty epic right? they would probably wipe each other out but hey, at least the wizards are dead.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I don't think I need anything special. Normal soldiers and weapons ought to do it.

 

[Slycne]

Let's compare -

Avada Kedavra - the user has to really mean it, almost always needs a wand and to say the incantation to cast it effectively. Let's be generous and say a single wizard can cast it 30 times in a minute.

Modern gatling style rotary cannon - push a button and spit out 6,600 rounds a minute, and a round might be a M56A3/A4 with an effective exposed casualty fragmentation radius of 2 meters.

I think magic all but mathematically looses to modern weaponry.

 

[FalloutJack]

Any weapon? Any at all? A weapon that, I assume, cannot be magic because they rule magic? Something wrought by man and technological advancement? Something so incredible that it continues strong even today, unstoppable? Alright. How about...


I bet you anything the radiation fields off of the big guy prevent spells from even reaching him.

... where my gem of immortality i know its around here, the only thing that could stop me would have to be a time travelling, space fighter, with a pahzor. but king brittina would never be so wise.

 

[Lionsfan1986]

Thor's Hammer! Lets what happens when I shove some lighting up someone ass!!

 

[the spud]

I sneak up on the wizard and beat him to death with his own skull.

...Or just let them fight it out and reward the winner with a cap to the skull.

 

[Gizmo1990]

Batman. Why? Because he is FUCKING BATMAN thats why!


And maybe the rest of the justice league as back up so that Batman can have a beer and a sit down between kicking the crap out of them.

 

[the spud]

Sorry double post.

I dunno man. Those forcefields of theirs seems to remove anything physical that wasnt in there already. So wouldnt bullets kind of just be absorbed by the more experienced wizards?

Load the population into spaceships and nuke the planet from orbit, then terraform Mars.

The trouble with magic is that it's magic. With Harry Potter-style magic, the rules for what kind of spells are possible and what kind are not possible aren't clearly defined, so pretty much anything you can imagine might be possible (such as being able to stop or redirect a nuke with a sort of shield, turn Godzilla into an irate hamster, or to cause the bullets of a gatling gun to swerve around and hit the gunner) unless we're just going off of what was used in the books. The trouble with the books, though, was that it was Wizard vs. Wizard, not Wizard vs. Modern weaponry (or Godzilla), which would have given us a clearer picture.

On a less serious note, I would say that if the ideas already presented (such as Godzilla, a nuke, an army of ninjas) plus possibly an orbital laser couldn't do it, then I've got nothin'.
