I think a bullet may even be faster than a wizard casting protego.

This could quickly be explained away as a contingent spell that specifically stops common muggle weapons.

The one moment that really irks me in the concept of wizard wars is a moment in deathly hallows. The gang are captured in Malfoy Manor and Harry manages to grab 3 wands from Draco Malfoy's hand, and casts stupify on Fenrir Greyback, who is hit with thrice the intensity and fucking basically dies.

If this works why aren't wizards rocking bundles of wands, let's see Harry use expeliarmus to counter Voldie's wizard wand Gatling gun of avada kedavra, or a bundle of wands casting sectumsempura and fucking turning a wizard to mince.

Wanna hit me with the torture curse you wizard nerd? I'll just use my bundle of sticks, my wand strap to Wingardium Leviosa you straight into the sun.

Also the thing with multiple wands doesn't seem fully explored

Maybe there are potential drawbacks

There's also the logistics of multiple wands and how could that be optimised,

would packing multiple cores into one wand achieve the same effect, or would it damage the wand ?

And I assume more wizards haven't tried to wand thing due to arrogance and being stuck in the past

I don't think Harry Potter needs Binary Lasers, those are scary enough in battletech
