This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What about testis tortius?

That fancy magic won't protect him from a .308.

Don't even need a gun for that.

Carry bullets and use the spell.

Sometimes I feel like these stories are just generated content or made up, like a fairy tale. Well, if they're posted too often, maybe they are. I'll probably pass by because I can make up a story about another anon myself lol.

Father Weasley, can't remember his name, repeatedly shows us that wizards raised purely in the magical world are unbelievably stupid when it comes to the non-magic world so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they didn't even know what a gun was.

Wait a minute. We can go deeper. In the deathly hallows, when they tell the story about the invincible wand, the original owner loses it because someone straight up cut his throat — no magic. Harry also takes it from Malfoy by beating the shit out of him.

If you get to the point where a gun is required, you have already lost something.

Yeah, use land mines and claymores instead far more indirect and I don't there's magic that can reverse being turned into chunky salsa. Also never have just a gun have multiple preferably in multiple directions so the ones using the guns can't be taken out in one fell swoop.

TBH I think the dark wizards are better with covert ops so letting them learn about explosive devices might be a bad move.
