The unsafe rust keyword basically just lets you declare a scope in which some memory checks do not need to pass for the program to compile.

You make a good point, I had not really considered magic guns on the baddie side which is probably the only one which would use it. I was mostly considering single targets which is mostly all that the protagonists fight.

A magic gun could probably also have been used to non fatally injure the dragon in the tri wizard cup.

Oof

Nope, just mercury filled asbestos particles.

This whole thing about wands being able to do basically the same as a gun also me realize that one could see the Harry Potter books as a group of kids with stun guns and gadgets fighting the idiot baddies who just use guns and can’t get a single plan to go right because of some dumb bs.

This made me think about what would make a magic gun in the setting superior to a regular gun. Assuming it’s just more powerful it shouldn’t make much difference since everyone is just running around with a wand that can kill someone at will anyways. In the case of the weird wand connections that I barely remember even happening outside of one scene in the books (and more often in the films) I suppose it would be useful.

The main advantage of a gun would seem that it is instant (no incantation, just aiming) and could probably be silenced.
