Sort of the equivalent of having a 'Force Field' app on your smartphone. Now, admittedly, a regular muggle is not going to have all (or any) of those, whereas a regular wizard, assuming a functioning DADA class at Hogwarts, will be able to summon up their defences with their multipurpose wand they always have with them. The thing is, muggles have equivalents of almost all of those, except perhaps Apparation wear armor, take cover or use a shield, wear camouflage, use thermal-vision goggles. Use a shield charm, transfigure a solid object or levitate one to use as cover, Apparate out of the line of fire, use Disillusionment or an invisibility cloak to avoid being targeted, use a human-revealing spell to locate the shooter then down them with a curse. Well, what can a wizard do against a gun-wielding assailant? In specific circumstances a skilled (or lucky) shooter against an unprepared wizard could probably take out the wizard before the wizard knew what was going on, but it really seems like the kind of thing where you have one chance and one chance only to score a headshot before the gun becomes worthless in that fight. agree? disagree? I think guns would be almost worthless against wizards. Then there's the issue that non-magical wounds are stupid simple for wizards to fix and that they're outright tougher than muggles anyway, so a gunshot is likely less debilitating than the same shot on a muggle in the first place. Hell, death eaters have no exposed skin when they're in their uniform. Sure, wizards would still be vulnerable to to being shot where their clothing isn't, but between robes, hoods, and big pointy hats there really isn't that much exposed skin on the average wizard on a day-to-day basis, much less if they were expecting trouble. Unbreakable cloth means you only have to deal with the force of the (non-magical) impact as there will be no penetration, and comfort/cushioning charms might deal with that force just fine. I was chatting with a friend and realized that, depending on exactly how unbreakable and cushioning charms work, it's not entirely unreasonable for pretty much all wizarding clothing is completely bulletproof. There's a lot of fics where Harry's like "oh my, guns are just an I win button against wizards," and that somehow nobody has ever managed to notice this before, despite Grindelwald's close association with Hilter and the Nazi armies during WWII and it's prevalence of rapid-reloading and automatic guns.
