V’s giving his gun to one of his followers (who are blood purists, not muggle technology experts, and probably haven’t ever fired a gun) suggests that he is still unable to “raise hand or wand against” Harry, for whatever reason.
If Harry can cause himself to appear to be V, the Death Eaters will presumably be confused enough to give him time to act (given that V cannot disable Harry himself). Harry can then use magical resonance to cause V to turn into a snake and/or explode, convincing the Death Eaters that he is really V.
The hole in this plan is that I can’t think of a way for Harry to pull it off. He doesn’t have any wordless, wandless illusion magic, unless I’m overlooking something, and transfiguration would be too slow. Any suggestions or objections?

Not that he isn’t able but that there might be some protection Harry uses. It’s less risk to give the gun to someone else.
