I agree with that, but OP said it was a duel between a muggle with a gun and Dumbledore
I don't think Dumbledore would lose in that duel, especially since wizard duels are formal, with a countdown, I would think Dumbledore would at least clarify the rules to the duel
But a sniper assassination? Sure, but where's the honor? And yeah, I'm guessing most wizards would lose in both scenarios, most only know general magic and magic for work/hobbies so unless you're an Auror or something...
I'm actually imagining a year 1 Malfoy turning around face to face to a gun and thinking how he'd just talk himself to death 😆
Like could Dumbledore just do a fus ro dah and boom fight over? Or is there strategy with it? Does he cast the sheild spell first? Or does he try a disarm? If you put him against a champion quick draw dueling I think those odds sway back to the muggle.
Wheres the honor? Theres no elegance to human combat. Wizards think they are civil at all times giving them a crucial weakness of arrogance to the point of being defenseless against muggle technology because they belive they are over it as if they were using stones and slings.
Arrogance is a real threat to wizards. Because they belive that they can deflect fireballs and thus are well equipped against a guy with a gun, no matter what gun.
I mean was there a sheild spell that could stop bullets? Or dampen the kinetic impact?
I dont read Harry Potter and I've seen most of the movies. So my knowlage about Dumbledore might be a bit lacking for this duel.
Dumbledore, in character, would make the muggle reconsider his decision to engage, maybe turn himself into rubber or make him see countless fake deaths only to reappear
He more or less has to think of the spell for it to work, so thinking s thought vs aiming and shooting
Wizard or not, I for one have honor in spades; I wouldn't try to spar and use cheap tricks, for example, or spam dick moves in like super smash bros, I would have finesse and win with style or discover a way to improve
There are lots of spells, basically by the main 7 we see almost every character show us a unique spell or potion and it's pretty much accepted fact that there's pretty much a spell for everything, almost like how we have a science for everything but some things are explained can't be done magically, like how we don't fully understand quantum mechanics
But I mean you just have to imagine a way to overcome a bullet, combined with Dumbledore's skills, it's totally plausible, but like someone casting Avada Kadavra behind his back someone could snipe him or whatever just as easily
But by honor I mean like, you're taking a powerful warrior and killing him just for the sake of saying you did
I don't think rich people shooting lions or whatever has much honor, but take a bow and arrow to the Savannah, color me impressed
Who would win in a duel? A wizard vs a muggle with a pistol?
