Agreed, and Voldemory hates Muggles, he would probably think the inventions disgusting or something.

That and because maybe our weapons wouldn't be good enough.

i have actually thought about this

what if they had tried to kill voldy with a gun when he was off guard?

well, they still had to destroy the horcruxes so it doesnt make much of a difference

A person can live with a bullet wound. The AK kills instantly, though.

Voldemort wouldn't use a gun because guns are muggle devices and Voldemort hates muggles.

That's more of an interesting question than the one this topic is based on, but I think yeah, he probably would know what a gun is.

Thank you captain obvious. My point was that it doesn't matter if the AK hits the toenail of your pinky toe on your right foot. It will kill you on contact, whereas a gun does not give that guarantee.

lol yeah i understand what ur saying

but for example, voldy in book 7 already having seen how attacking harry with magic wasnt working cause of some wand issue, a muggle weapon might have been more effective

but its useless to think about it, voldy would never use anything muggle Rolling Eyes

Why wouldn't harry grenade the horcruxes in part 7? Could have been effective.

^ It is a little bit difficult for a 17-year-old boy to get his hands on explosives in the muggle world.

it is obvious by the book that they are very difficult to destroy so i dont think a grenade would've worked

Because in order to destroy a Horcrux you need either fiendfyre or basilisk venom.
