    Land Mines, Grenades, Rockets, Cluster Bombs, heck even trip wires could proably take them out. Wizards in Rowling seem to show little in the way of critical thinking, or independent thought, plus a disdain of muggle stuff.

    Death Eaters can turn invisible? Broad statement.

    Invisibility cloaks don't always cover everything, and they're quite rare.

    Disillusionment charms aren't quite perfect - they just make you blend in with your background and are therefore not as effective for combat situations.

    Either way, DE will still leave footprints, and still make noise unless a silencing charm is cast. So, it depends on how smart and/or how good at getting extra-long invisibility cloaks your death eaters are.

    Even if you were to compare wizarding Invisibility Cloaks to the Camo' tech' that the predator used in the jungle setting that the Predator originally took place in, think about this fact, Invisible does not make you intangible, i really doubt the DE's ability to move around unnoticed especially since the Cloak is fabric which can easily be snagged by branches and such, also take into mind the climate of a jungle and remember that wizards wear heavy ass robes and aren't really suited to exertion.

    Point : Rambo

    Plus Invsiblity cloacks only cover what is under them it seems so the old flour trick, or dumping honey and feathers or mud or displaced rain. Not to mention any dogs will be able to smell them nearby. Not to mention the advantage won't last long once muggles realize what is going on.

    Forget invsiblity...you have Parseltongue...go up to a random deadly snake and tell it to kill the human it runs into...or how about Animagi...turn into a woodland animal and go behind the guy and the kill him..so yea point to death eater.

    So apparently all DE's are Parseltngues and Animagi? and USEFUL Animagi as well, let's not forget Peter Pettigrew and Rita Skeeter, not exactly what you would call the most useful forms to have when in combat

    Point : Blackstar

    Rambo could mow down any death eater one on one, and that's what this thread is about right? Death Eater VS Rambo.

    Rambo owns.

    Point: Rambo

    I was under the impression that only Voldemort and Harry were living parsletounges. You also have to remember that Voldemort's inner circle were held off by a bunch of school kids in the deparment of mysteries, not exactly inspiring confidence in death eaters... or wizards in general.

    ok forget parsletounge....there has to be some other skill like it...i mean it can't be the only skill that can be inherited? but yea death eaters would still win because they can set fire to the entire forest and walk awayor they could transfigure something into a deadly animal,think chimera, and set it losse on rambo

    Yeah, but how many DE's do you see transfiguring trees into chimeras? I was in the mindframe that most DE's were not uber!wizards but rather the ordinary/under average type.

    I think for DE's, you can expect to find many different types of power-levels. For one, Voldemort would favor the more powerful for higher ranks and bodyguards, and the generally lower-powered ones for shock troops.

    But It really depends on the situation really; Rambo would win if he didn't run out of ammunition or was disarmed, and even then could win hand-to-hand. On the other hand, however, (forgive me for the pun) all it takes is one curse to hit and he's dead. Death Eaters cheat, you know. Especially in losing situations.
