Re: Muggles vs Wizards

Ok, here's the thing- Even if technology advances, muggle weapons can still be diffused by magical wards and charms. On top of that, they can easily have their minds wiped, and forget their purpose. Muggles are easy to mess with, even if this is in the future. What I suggest is the use of magi-tech- muggle weapons imbued with magical properties so that a simple spell cannot halt bullets in place, or cause the weapons to suddenly hurtle away from the soldier's hands.

Well we sort of did end the muggle stuff after Voldemort died, but you guys can make this thread I guess. And shacklebolt, Hogwarts is in Britain, but we didn't make the Wizarding World Roleplay area for no reason.

As for the weapons stuff, its true Muggles won't stand much of a chance against Wizards, but I like your idea about the magi tech weapons James

Well I'd like to explain a possible scenario for America being involved:
Since many of the disapperences had happened in Britain and some occaionsly kidnapping of American tourists, the US government had decided to send the US Navy SEALS to Britain for any possible ideas on what could be kidnapping people. Since the kidnappings happened, they decided to go low profile and have a DADT(Don't Ask, Don't Tell) operation set up surrounding most of Europe.

And yeah I did make some weapons guides and armor guides a while ago and I think they are in the pensieve

It could be that the Government has in fact been conducting secret experiments (yeah, I know, real shocker, huh?) and assembled a team capable of disposing of any wizarding threat. This group splintered off, and became mercs. They were hired to take out a certain number of wizards, in order to prove their qualifications to a mysterious bidder. They attack Diagon Alley to show off their prowess and ability.

Bam, there's our plot!

^I like that better. Firstly, it makes more sense, as the british government is anti-wizard, not the US one. Also, its set in England, London, where there are more wizards.

Let's face it- PMCs get much more advanced equipment for combat than most national armies. It would only make sense if a PMC would be capable of disposing of wizards. Also, America would need express permission from any of the EU countries in order to establish operations in any of the european countries.

Well does it really matter how or where its happening? Dont put too much thought into a whole process that probably wont even be used later on. I only made this so that muggles could actually stand a chance against wizards.

Then give them magi-tech. Something like magic-proofed weapons.

Though we could always just decapitate the muggles themselves...

Yeah, see, Danny did something along the lines of what I was discussing earlier in "An expected meeting." A weapon that can compete with wizard's wands, and weapons. Make them with magical cores, and there we go: the birth of magitech! Now that we have seen a Barreta can do, let's see what a Desert Eagle, Ak-47, or Uzi could do under the same conditions. It's a Revolution!!!!!!!!
