Avengers vs Death Eaters

They have spells that blow stuff up, teleport, mind control, incinerat crap,annd instant kills. If they spend seven years studing how to defend themselves from dark magic, how come no one came up with the bright idea of whearing armor during voldemort's first takeover? It can't be that simple.

So, you're saying that Cap's shield could block the AK, but if Cap's armor was made of the same material....it wouldn't stop the AK?

I guess so.
The way i see it, the spell hits something. If there's anything alive in what it hits, it dies, if not the energy from the spell back lashes into some sort of mini explosion.

In your opinion, Does it matter how durable or thick the armor is?

If it's insanely big that it isn't really armor it could probably stop it(like a power ranger in a megazord) but i don't think durability is taken into acount too much.

Why didn't they just hire some assassins?

If durability doesn't matter, why would thickness?

Wizards set up charms to warn them if someones in firing range. And i haven't read the books in awhile, but didn't it say that muggle technology didn't work at hogwarts?

Everyone in all seven movies were in firing range of a trained sniper at some point, yet I never heard these alarms going off?

The fact is, a bullet can kill a wizard.

Because muggles are not meant to know about them. Plus hiring muggle help would hurt their egos.

I'm sure a wizard assassin is just as, if not more capable than a muggle assassin, if he wasn't being a retard.

i think that there's a certain point where you're nolonger whearing something, you're just inside it. In the first ironman movie, stain looked more like he was driving his armor instead of whearing it.

That is rather subjective, was your theory ever mentioned in the movies?

Rember what someone once said in order of the phoenix when harry asked about why muggles couldn't see the bus. It was something about muggles not knowing how to look at magic. The charms don't send off warning bells, they just prevent dangerous equipment/people from finding them.

I'm inclined to believe that armor wouldn't have an effect on the killing curse. If whearing a bullet proof ves would stop it, why the hay are the Order of the phoenix going up against them in suits and bathrobes?

Because Wizards like their dresses.

He asked why they didn't use bullet proof vests, well, they didn't use any kind of weaponry that wasn't magic oriented. That's what I'm getting at, the lack of using it does not mean it wouldn't work...not that a bullet proof vest would work, but you should get my point.

I remember Harry's uncle pointing a shotgun at Hagrid. Hagrid had to deflect it away from him before his uncle fired. If bullets didn't work on them, he shoulda just let it hit him.

Those charms aren't normally on people, because I don't recall Harry or Hermione's family having trouble seeing Wizards.

no. But if there were more wizards walking around in big Ol, mech suits, I'm sure someone would have brought it up.

So there is basically nothing in the movies that actually state that armor would be worthless?

That doesn't mean the muggle weaponry couldn't be used against a wizard. If someone shoot Ron in the face at the train station he would die.
