Who knows of being reduced to constituent atoms by mundane means counts? (Probably it does, but it isn’t certain.)
It still doesn’t make it certain to work for such a case in particular, but Snape’s “From the rumors I have heard, Headmaster, Muggle weapons are only slightly worse than the more… recondite aspects of wizardry” seems to be evidence towards counting.

I had taken that to refer to the scale of mass destruction possible, but good point.
