Hate to use the word, But it's very pathetic that nowhere else has citizens with the same autonomy as we do when it comes to being treated sovereign enough to have weapons. So many places have subjects. Not citizens.
@@anthonypolonkay2681 it is an interesting idea for a fantasy setting- where magic would be treated like firearms in our world: heavily restricted, law-enfercement and military use only, with maybe licensed users for sporting purposes, and there's only one country where citizens still have the right to own and use magic items guaranteed by the Constitution (actually, the story of how the whole "well regulated Magicians being necessary to the security of Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear wands shall not be infringed" came to be is a potential epic in itself, about liberating the province from tyranny of the King) although state and local laws vary, and there is a huge political conflict between pro-magic and anti-magic activists, with "ban assault wands" on one side and National Magic Assotiation on another, but still magic is in widespread use, and remember, magic can do much more (or much worse) than simply fire a bullett, and you'd see videos on youtube of a fat guy trying to use his wand but it goes off into his leg and he screams "i just f**king cursed myself!", and entire channells like The Magician Ranch dedicated to "this is a fire spell let's see how many cars will it go through?"
@@boli-5804 an interesting parody idea to be sure. Though you may want to see if it's been done already, or not. Though such a fantasy setting would require that "magic" is a tool to be used/skill acquired, and not like an innate ability some have,and some dont. Like if it requires an item to do magic, then you can have that kinda thing. But if you have it to where you just essentially have it like benders are in Atla and it's an innate part of your body/extension of it, then the scenario woukdnt work as well.

@@nyankers Sometimes Harry just survives. Like against Nicodemus, for example. Most of the time, though, he wins by using his smarts and seizing the opportunity. He still gets wrecked most of the time, though.
There is literally a game that took that exact approach. Secret World, you guns are basically wands with infinite magic bullets that can do trick shots with special effects
I think he would need to buy the second one illegally , but i imagine he would find a way. Even the first would be hard, real AK 47s aren't anything that easy, is probably he would end up with some semi auto copy.
If it were a world with magic though with most of the action Ivan requiring people to be Mages to do simple enchantments then what if you were doing champey actual gun itself and each of the bullets with perhaps either anti-magic runes or something like that
So, I definitely didn't look at the time-stamp, and I thought this was going to be some sort of discussion about how like, "nobody writes about magic anymore". And I'm like, "that doesn't seem very Daniel, but I'm curious." But then it was this and I'm like, "oh, there it is."
"Good news! I figured out how to enchant my 'nein milimeasure' gun!" "Why are there police outside?" *The wizard fires once, and massive gouts of blue flame incinerate the policemen, charring the pavement and leaving only a smoldering, deformed steel frame where the cop car was* "I also learned how to not have to use ammunition!

Just for once, I'd love to see a fantasy series where people use magic in a more realistic maner. Like, sure that wizard over there spent 12 years learning to spend ten minutes to create a thunderstorm; but I went over to Fiends'R'Us and signed a contract, now I can turn any random stick I pick up into the equivalent of a magic AK-47. Can't ritual cast when you're full of holes, can you.
Wizards can slow time, teleport, summon magic shields. While a bullet could kill them if they weren't paying attention, but I'm certain a wizard could stop a bullet
But they are still limited to human reflexes, which means that they would have to expect the bullet ahead of time to successfully stop it. And if they expect one, the logical thing would be to use volume of fire from one direction to distract and hopefully overwhelm, while another guy performs a flanking maneuver and fires on the poor mage from the side.
@@thetallone7605 I mean in some shows, especially anime, there are bastards who are literally un killable. For example Regulus from Re: Zero where you literally can't interfere with his body no matter what. Idk seems kinda unfair to me

Unless they had a steady supply of ammunition and other gear it d start out useful then grow less and less. Now it would be shorter if they brought a modern vehicle. Suddenly mordor is much closer.
@Pod Chaser then yiu can't trust any product from any company because Walmart gets the same quality products any other company gets. Any manufacturer that would sell lower grade versions of their products to one company versus another, and call it the same product is going to go out of business quickly because of destroying their own products overall reputation of being a quality item/model. Now "off brands" I could more easily agree with you on.
You can't even buy the ammo for stuff like this, mostly just stuff that is considered a "hunting cartridge" because that apparently makes it WAAAAAY less deadly ( obviously I'm joking)
Ok, so here's how you take down a guy with a gun if you're a wizard: You show up with two other wizards, and then while they're getting shot, you quickly prepare your spell.
All depends on the rules of magic in question. As soon as you see it just focus your will and pink Gun is in your hand, a venomous snake, a toy, disintegrated...... Alternatively, guy reaches for some "equalizing force" you throw up a barrier with one hand and smash him in the face with a fireball with the other. Point at him and watch as he goes flying around. Wink and laugh at the thought of him finding himself in the middle of some remote desert.
Walmart stopped selling handguns in the late 80's/early 90's. And legal purchase elsewhere is only surprisingly easy if you didn't know you weren't a felon.
@@thepastaprogenitor851 that depends on where you live, in places like NJ I've heard it can take weeks even after the paperwork, but where I live you can walk in, get a background check, and walk out with a handgun in less than an hour. And that's why I love america
@@theelucidator7353 In NJ my dad recently purchased his first firearm, a handgun. You must first request an application from your local PD for a firearms license, as well as a handgun permit if you want one, find two gun owners who are willing to vouch for you, and have them sign both permit and license. You must provide a reason for why you want your firearm, and fill out personal information including criminal record. Depending on the Police Department, they tell you if you're application was successful or not within an indefinite amount of time. My dad's local PD took six months. Then, you must go to the PD and get your fingerprint taken. Then, after a few weeks, they give you your permit and license, of which the handgun permit is only valid for a few months, I forget how many, and if you do not purchase a handgun within that time period, your handgun permit expires. Oh, and you cannot buy two handguns within a month of each other. This means, if you applied for multiple handgun permits(because you need a new permit for each purchase), you may run out of time and have your last permits expire, by no fault of your own. Screw New Jersey. I can't wait to leave.
Actually, it‘s quite amusing, that this is the case, considering it‘s set in the 90s... like, I know it‘s a different legendarium, but the Numenoreans created Palantiri, about 5-6 ages before our time... 😂
Actually, there are ways in Harry Potter to communicate faster. I think JK rowling only thought those up later though. Either that or she used the owls because 1. It adds to the whimsicall nature of the books, or 2. Young wizards can't cast the spells required. I'm talking about three ways in particular: 1) People can teleport. So why would you need to call somebody if you can just teleport? Also surely if you can teleport, there are spells that are a kind of in between. 2) The hearthfires and the mirrors (and maybe paintings?) Harry and Sirius communicated by fire and mirror, like a more realistic zoom meeting. 3) Patronus. Patronus could deliver voice messages and be transported.
Wizards generally live longer, so they have more generational entrenchment, making it harder for their society to progress, both technologically and socially. Small wonder their society favors stable but outdated technology over newer, faster ways of doing things, traditional thinking over innovation, and is quite racist.
That depends on the gun, many modern military rifles ( or rather, the civilian adaptations of them, and yes I'm still mad about that) have so little felt recoil that you could probably give them to a 5 year old who knows nothing but gun safety and they could probably still hit a man sized target at 20 yards.
Kelsier was careless not drinking his potions in the morning. Following Newtonian mechanics, Allomantically thrown coins are faster than bullets so it would be equivalent to fighting a weak coinshot.
Sorry Gandalf, you have to pass a background check first, and that requires you to be a legal cirizen of the United States, not Middle Earth. Also, the whole 1 shot 1 kill thing only applies after years and years of constant practice, and even then it's iffy. Great video though!

One of the funniest moments in the dresden files (Im assuming your referring to the darth wannabes who threatened him in one of the short stories. I think its the one where he just wants to enjoy his day off.)
And I mean, Dresden would also just pull up a shield if someone drew a gun, especially if he ever got around to make a better shield braclet. Stop being lazy Harry!

If it is a question about the size of the penetrating item, then perhaps Gandalf could use a harpoon instead of a regular firearm.

That would have more of an effect in his physical form. Though a grenade or a giant bounder would do it as well.

Hate to use the word, But it's very pathetic that nowhere else has citizens with the same autonomy as we do when it comes to being treated sovereign enough to have weapons.
So many places have subjects. Not citizens.
@@anthonypolonkay2681 it is an interesting idea for a fantasy setting- where magic would be treated like firearms in our world: heavily restricted, law-enfercement and military use only, with maybe licensed users for sporting purposes, and there's only one country where citizens still have the right to own and use magic items guaranteed by the Constitution (actually, the story of how the whole "well regulated Magicians being necessary to the security of Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear wands shall not be infringed" came to be is a potential epic in itself, about liberating the province from tyranny of the King) although state and local laws vary, and there is a huge political conflict between pro-magic and anti-magic activists, with "ban assault wands" on one side and National Magic Assotiation on another, but still magic is in widespread use, and remember, magic can do much more (or much worse) than simply fire a bullett, and you'd see videos on youtube of a fat guy trying to use his wand but it goes off into his leg and he screams "i just f**king cursed myself!", and entire channells like The Magician Ranch dedicated to "this is a fire spell let's see how many cars will it go through?"
@@boli-5804 an interesting parody idea to be sure. Though you may want to see if it's been done already, or not.
Though such a fantasy setting would require that "magic" is a tool to be used/skill acquired, and not like an innate ability some have,and some dont. Like if it requires an item to do magic, then you can have that kinda thing. But if you have it to where you just essentially have it like benders are in Atla and it's an innate part of your body/extension of it, then the scenario woukdnt work as well.
@@anthonypolonkay2681 No its pathetic that as an American, I live in a country that sells weaponry that tear loved ones from there families with the press of a button at a convenience store, but life saving medication is locked up tighter than fort knox.

Just don't try that with a powder mage. **senses the gunpowder in his bullets and detonates it before he can even finish reaching for the gun**
dont try it with any mage with a shield spell.
If it were a world with magic though with most of the action Ivan requiring people to be Mages to do simple enchantments then what if you were doing champey actual gun itself and each of the bullets with perhaps either anti-magic runes or something like that

I love these skits. Your acting is really strong, the editing is really quick and fun, and the writing is clever as all hell!!! Keep it going!!!
Just for once, I'd love to see a fantasy series where people use magic in a more realistic maner. Like, sure that wizard over there spent 12 years learning to spend ten minutes to create a thunderstorm; but I went over to Fiends'R'Us and signed a contract, now I can turn any random stick I pick up into the equivalent of a magic AK-47. Can't ritual cast when you're full of holes, can you.
Wizards can slow time, teleport, summon magic shields. While a bullet could kill them if they weren't paying attention, but I'm certain a wizard could stop a bullet
But they are still limited to human reflexes, which means that they would have to expect the bullet ahead of time to successfully stop it. And if they expect one, the logical thing would be to use volume of fire from one direction to distract and hopefully overwhelm, while another guy performs a flanking maneuver and fires on the poor mage from the side.
@@thetallone7605 I mean in some shows, especially anime, there are bastards who are literally un killable. For example Regulus from Re: Zero where you literally can't interfere with his body no matter what. Idk seems kinda unfair to me
And most shield charms are shown to have limited duration/effectiveness before they collapse. An LMG would chew through it in no time.
I've shared this with so many of my DnD friends - it is right up there with "I cast Mundane Missile"

The Lord of the Rings would've been a lot shorter if Frodo had a glock
Like... unlimited ammo glock or just a regular glock?
HOw would it have been shorter? Their main problem was destroying the ring, not shooting someone.
Unless they had a steady supply of ammunition and other gear it d start out useful then grow less and less.
Now it would be shorter if they brought a modern vehicle. Suddenly mordor is much closer.
or even a hi-point
Jokes on you. Walmart no longer sells guns, just ammo. Try Mills Fleet Farm, Bass Pro Shop, or Scheels.
Depends on location actually, my local Walmart still sells gun's, but there home office may be heading in the direction you mentioned.
@@robschoneck my local Walmart sells some bolt and pump actions but I'm not sure I would trust anything they sell.
@Pod Chaser then yiu can't trust any product from any company because Walmart gets the same quality products any other company gets.
Any manufacturer that would sell lower grade versions of their products to one company versus another, and call it the same product is going to go out of business quickly because of destroying their own products overall reputation of being a quality item/model.
Now "off brands" I could more easily agree with you on.
You can't even buy the ammo for stuff like this, mostly just stuff that is considered a "hunting cartridge" because that apparently makes it WAAAAAY less deadly ( obviously I'm joking)

While you played with magic, I grabbed a gun from Walmart.
Alternative title: if Harry Potter was set in the USA
Ok, so here's how you take down a guy with a gun if you're a wizard: You show up with two other wizards, and then while they're getting shot, you quickly prepare your spell.
Or better, you cast your protection vs mundane projectile spell before you enter the room.
Realistically Kelsier would have already had his metals downed and could literally just pull the gun from his hand.
This was hilarious though.
All depends on the rules of magic in question. As soon as you see it just focus your will and pink Gun is in your hand, a venomous snake, a toy, disintegrated......
Alternatively, guy reaches for some "equalizing force" you throw up a barrier with one hand and smash him in the face with a fireball with the other.
Point at him and watch as he goes flying around.
Wink and laugh at the thought of him finding himself in the middle of some remote desert.
Or you just pack some heat as well. No need for this fancy-shmansy magic.
Walmart stopped selling handguns in the late 80's/early 90's. And legal purchase elsewhere is only surprisingly easy if you didn't know you weren't a felon.
Ayyy someone who knows something about guns unlike most people in this section!
Not to mention easy doesn't mean fast. Paperwork is a thing as well
@@thepastaprogenitor851 that depends on where you live, in places like NJ I've heard it can take weeks even after the paperwork, but where I live you can walk in, get a background check, and walk out with a handgun in less than an hour. And that's why I love america
@@theelucidator7353 In NJ my dad recently purchased his first firearm, a handgun. You must first request an application from your local PD for a firearms license, as well as a handgun permit if you want one, find two gun owners who are willing to vouch for you, and have them sign both permit and license. You must provide a reason for why you want your firearm, and fill out personal information including criminal record. Depending on the Police Department, they tell you if you're application was successful or not within an indefinite amount of time. My dad's local PD took six months. Then, you must go to the PD and get your fingerprint taken. Then, after a few weeks, they give you your permit and license, of which the handgun permit is only valid for a few months, I forget how many, and if you do not purchase a handgun within that time period, your handgun permit expires. Oh, and you cannot buy two handguns within a month of each other. This means, if you applied for multiple handgun permits(because you need a new permit for each purchase), you may run out of time and have your last permits expire, by no fault of your own. Screw New Jersey. I can't wait to leave.
@@GavriJ Holy shit, how awful. Where I live you show valid ID, fill out a 440, wait 5-10 minutes to clear a background check, and pay for your gun.

Now I’m imagining a load of giant eagles with mount machine guns
Now we need a concept art of Gandalf on the back of an eagle wielding a 9mm
and he would not be able to hit the broadside of a barn.
This is so amazing! In Harry Potter their only method of communication is by owl mail? You could come up with something better and faster, really?
Like in a modern world why are they still acting like they are in the midevil ages?
Actually, it‘s quite amusing, that this is the case, considering it‘s set in the 90s... like, I know it‘s a different legendarium, but the Numenoreans created Palantiri, about 5-6 ages before our time... 😂
Actually, there are ways in Harry Potter to communicate faster. I think JK rowling only thought those up later though. Either that or she used the owls because 1. It adds to the whimsicall nature of the books, or 2. Young wizards can't cast the spells required.
I'm talking about three ways in particular: 1) People can teleport. So why would you need to call somebody if you can just teleport? Also surely if you can teleport, there are spells that are a kind of in between.
2) The hearthfires and the mirrors (and maybe paintings?) Harry and Sirius communicated by fire and mirror, like a more realistic zoom meeting.
3) Patronus. Patronus could deliver voice messages and be transported.
@@sloesty you’re right, the other methods you gave are so underutilized in the books. Owl post is still the most prominent in the series
Wizards generally live longer, so they have more generational entrenchment, making it harder for their society to progress, both technologically and socially. Small wonder their society favors stable but outdated technology over newer, faster ways of doing things, traditional thinking over innovation, and is quite racist.
Firing a gun from an eagle's back would be very 'Murican. Also, guns have recoil.
That depends on the gun, many modern military rifles ( or rather, the civilian adaptations of them, and yes I'm still mad about that) have so little felt recoil that you could probably give them to a 5 year old who knows nothing but gun safety and they could probably still hit a man sized target at 20 yards.
After reading Harry Potter, I always felt like I wanted to do this to them.
And so gandalf went on the grand journey alone, taking on Sauron's army with an m4a1 and a 1911
I imagine gandalf carrying around two M4a1 and a giant back filled with 50000 rounds on his back.
Kelsier was careless not drinking his potions in the morning. Following Newtonian mechanics, Allomantically thrown coins are faster than bullets so it would be equivalent to fighting a weak coinshot.
Sorry Gandalf, you have to pass a background check first, and that requires you to be a legal cirizen of the United States, not Middle Earth. Also, the whole 1 shot 1 kill thing only applies after years and years of constant practice, and even then it's iffy.
Great video though!
Im just wondering how Daniel got a hoodie from my Irish college
I'm wondering the exact same 😅
I fucking WISH they were still at walmart, damn.
Have you ever fired *two* guns whilst flying on an eagle's back going "aaaaahhhhh?"
