There's no reason wizard hats can't shield the face from bullets. In fact, in the later books there might be a hat that does basically that IIRC.
Besides which, wizard hats have wide brims. And they have scarves.
In the face. Where there is no cloth. Also, just shoot them with a shotgun. That's gonna hurt like hell and bruise the shit out of them if the threads manage to stop the bullets.
Just keep shooting at it until it dies. Doom advice.
Shooting in the face where there isn't cloth won't necessarily help - if the hat just stop bullets aimed for the head (like a magical forcefield) then it's pointless.
Also, it's not gonna hurt like hell and bruise the shit out of them - you're citing Newtonian mechanics when it's fucking magic. Hell, maybe the forcefield just deletes the bullet instead of deflecting or blocking it.
"Shoot at it until it dies" is great advice generally, but if you shoot a water pistol at a fish then you'll be there til you run out of ammo.
Then use magic bullets.
My god, how much skill issue...
Also, if you shoot the water pistol inside of the fish, it can either bloat and explode or drown.
See? The wizard problem has solutions. They must be erased one way or another.
