From how far away can you hit someone with an evocation?

Harry has been known to avoid the more complex mechanisms of magazine loaded handguns in favor of revolvers, for fear of hexing them. So the line between technology that gets along well with Wizards and technology that doesn't is somewhere between a colt .45 and a glock, for that particular wizard anyway. Might be that some wizard can accidentally hex the setup described above.

Again, moving parts. :)

The most you can do is bend the laws of physics, or cause malfunctions in machinery or electronics. In Changes (click to show/hide)Harry talks about how difficult it would be to make the chain link fence around a complex nonconductive.

The fibre-optic cables and fish-eye lenses. Instantly. Anything electronic goes boom/fizzle almost immediately, and more importantly it's how new and advanced the technology is that makes it screw up. The newer, the easier and quicker it gets screwed up. Or are you going to tell me fibre optics aren't advanced technology?
Post-World War 2 Tech doesn't work for Wizards. Fibre optics were come up with in 1965.

Right, moving parts, just like the switches and cables that are connecting the lenses and the fiber optic cables. More complex than a revolver, more complex than a glock? Sounds like a judgment call for your campaign, but it's a discussion that might come up.
