Substitute "magical" for "technical," and you've got the key.

The Sergeant Majorette says

AK or AK-47, that is the question.

Somebody asked me the other day if I could take out five wizards with 
one handgun; considering that firearms are mechanical (no reason they 
shouldn't work in a magical setting, unlike electronics) and require 
no silly incantations, foolish wandwaving or dramatic cloak-
billowing, I think I could do it, even though I am nobody's 
sharpshooter.

Especially since Voldemort can't seem to just shut up and get on with 
it. Nooo, he's just *got* to be the road-company Hammer Film cliche, 
until it's a wonder some random passer-by doesn't pop a cap on him on 
general principles.

What's the maximum effective range of the average magic wand?
