Correct me if I'm wrong...but don't bullets break the speed barrier?
So you're telling me, a solid metal projectile that travels thousands of feet per second, is a minor to moderate physical object that can be blocked by a Protego? Even though it was never shown blocking a bullet?

Is a bullet ever shown breeching a protego? HA!!!

Now how the hell is Nearly Headless Nick supposed to have babies when his other head is torn off?
How dare you....think of the children....made with invisible weenarz.
OK I gotta get this off my chest.
First of all, there is a spell cast around Hogwarts that prevents electrical equipment from working properly. Oh wait, that's been taken away from the wizards.
Marauders map, it can be used to see where every VD is. Oh wait, that spell has been taken away......WAIT A MINUTE, that aint a spell!!! The Marauders map is a map, NOT a spell. So yeah, the marauders map is in play here.
Now, having said that, there are far too many things that can go wrong for team VD. All it takes is one of them to be detected and it's all over. It's not like they are all ninja, they don't all possess great stealth. Example? Alain and Mikhail from Maximum Risk, and Chris Dubois from the Quest. Dude from Legionnare and from Nowhere to Run, same thing. One of them are surely detected and it's all over.
Filch and his cat know Hogwarts like the back of their hand, surely they will be on patrol, ever think of that?
And the paintings. No way in hell does team VD get past the paintings. The paintings WILL see them, and they WILL alert Dumbledore.
Same with the ghosts.
And the OP says they are examining Hogwarts from the outside, what the hell can they learn about the layout from the outside? What if they wander onto the forbidden floor?
And Mconogall, she can vanish them with one spell. She can take on the form of a cat too.
And no, Timecop cannot use any weapons he was never shown using, so ixnay on the bomb.
There's really no way team VD wins here.
Yeah, Protego can be cast with a wand, and a spoken word, and a twirl of the wrist. A bullet can be fired with a squeeze of a trigger. And you can't apparate before you get hit with a bullet, they travel thousands of feet per second, meaning that if someone points and pulls the trigger, when you hear the BANG, you've already been shot. And considering wizards get hit with all types of spells that are much slower than bullets, they ain't dodging any of them.
I think I remember you saying that apparation takes somewhere around half a second. Well by the time you try to apparate, you've been shot, and you died.
On top of that, a large majority of the wizards at Hogwarts are students, meaning that a large majority can't apparate, and there are only a few who can. And don't say every wizard of a certain level can do it, because that's not true. Every wizard of a certain level isn't automatically an Animagus, so not everyone can apparate.

Protego horriblis, dude, look it up.
We're talking about thousands of wizards, students and faculty alike.
Tell me, when team VD is detected (and they will be detected right away, LOL at Chad Wagner stumbling around in pink leotards), what do you see happening?

Dude, put down your fanboysim and you'd see team Van Damage is likely to pull this off.
-There's a shit load of them
-They all have at least a handgun. Many have greater.
-They have a diverse set of skills, ranging from Fire Marshall to Super-Soldier.
-They all can let out an epic kick while making a stupid face

They're likely to do some Van dammage, but pull it off? Kill every wizard in Hogwarts? Get real, man. This isn't some run of the mill building packed with insurgents, it's a magical castle with magical protection and enchantments, man.
Hogwarts, even gimped as you placed them, kills every single VD.
