They're equipped with anti-magic bullets, but they didn't explain how they get it. Heck, even I have no idea how these bullets work.

They jacked Kiritsugu's Origin Bullets, obviously.

Those aren't anti-magic bullets but are anti magician guns,everything's explained in the LN's and you can just google info about them,because I don't think i can post it here

The only difference between them and regular rifles is that they are *supposed* to fire and hit faster than a magician could react.

But of course Onii-sama can't be affected by physics

With all this talk about how Tatsuya is specifically good at one thing, while the others are good in a general sense with different types of magic, I noticed something. Actually, all the magicians from different families are usually only good at one type of magic, it seems. More often than not, they use only a variation of that type of magic. In that sense, Tatsuya isn't very different from most magicians, and the test he took to get into High School is kind of useless.

Concepts of movement and speed also exist in Eidos.(or else mages wouldn't be able to alter them)
Tatsuya's magic can destroy Eidos.

result..........................?

In most case, you're right. But in the battle field you will never know when you will need different magics.
For example, if you have one powerful battle magic as your only magic and then you encounter someone you have bad affinities with or you're in the situation that relocation is needed to be done quickly....... if you don't have ability to use self-acceleration then you are in trouble.
Beside if you want single field specialists, ESPers and Superpower Users like Tatsuya have already existed even before the discovery of magic...... remember when ep1 said "magic is systematized product"? They must be the reason why modern magic become main stream discipline instead of the old systems.

They aren't good at just one thing, they focus. It's a difference. Example: Miyuki's specialty is speed-type magics, but she can do all the other stuff. Kanon's is ground-vibration magics. But this doesn't mean that Miyuki cannot do ground-vibration magics and Kanon cannot do speed magics. Perhaps not to the extent that the other can (though frankly, Miyuki's so much head and shoulders above Kanon in potential she probably COULD beat her even in her specialty).

Tatsuya simply cannot do a lot of that stuff at any sort of speed. He mentions it in the competition arc. 'Yeah. Don't put my name on it, put Shizuka's, I can't do the spell?' 'How did you develop it then?' 'Well, I technically CAN do it, but not in any sort of timeframe to make it useful.' Yes, he was hiding behind that for family reasons but it's true nevertheless. Shizuka was activating it instantly. He'd take about a minute to activate it.

Ok,the riflesare not to be faster than magicians but more to penetrate magician defenses,like barriers and fortification spells.

[larethian]

Who the heck is Shizuka?
I can't believe we are still getting erroneous variations of Leo, Mayumi, Azusa, Shizuku, Mizuki and even Tatsuya up till today. Are we even watching the same series?

[~Yami~]

wow.... cutting terrorists hand in front of hundreds students
I think I can hear Masaki and George's pissed off voice now

Comparing to previous arcs, this is the first arc where Tatsuya really going all out
anyway, his cooperation combi with Miyuki is flawless.. freezing bullet and blood splatters...

I think Tatsuya is like "whatever! everyone would know my whole secret anyway..." then going serious (to make it worse, his commander appears in front of him which blow all his facade)

I hope we could see "serious" Miyuki in next episode as well... the siblings would go mad and crushing enemies

[Proto]

his commander appears in front of him which blow all his facade

To be fair it only blows the military side of his facade. The lad is hiding like a million things, so revealing one of them almost serves as a smoke screen for his more important secrets (like being a Yotsuba).

for them its like: tatsuyas secrets - 20% unlocked
there are some many things that he hides, that it would take a life for his friends to find everyone of them without him giving hints

Finally started to watch this....

Tatsuya is God!! He is God!! Bloody hell so IMBA
