Under the old alchemical table of elements, silver came from the moon, gold came from the sun, mercury from mercury, iron from mars etc. Silver was written as a crescent moon rather than Ag. So it makes sense that a moon-powered creature would be vulnerable to moon-metal |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Absolutely there was a disease. It still exists: Congenital erythropoetic porphyria. Very simplified, it's a genetic defect in the production of the hemoglobin molecule. The badly-formed molecules are porphyrins, which cause skin lesions, photosensitivity, increased hair growth, and reddened teeth, as well as defects in cartilage and bone formation. So, you get this somewhat deformed person who has lots of hair all over their body, only goes out at night, has oozing sores, and (apparently) bloody teeth. Add in a few people killed by wolves at night (they were still a big problem back then) with a healthy dose of superstition, a pinch of judgement of God, and the guy with porphyria gets labeled as a werewolf. Every culture has its regionally-appropriate were-beast, based on whatever local critter is the feared man-killer. Pacific islanders have were-sharks, for example: wolves are rather thin on the ground in those parts. There are were-snakes, were-jaguars, were-crocodiles, etc., etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergot |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Ummm...yes religion. I'm not interested in what Hollywood and modern-day fiction writers portray, I'm talking about real werewolves. According to all the texts written waaaay back when they were taken extremely seriously, since the very nature of demonic beasts is Satanic, religion (specifically Christianity) is inherent in the killing / destruction of were-beasts and vampires. They are both demonic, and, like it or not, ya'll need some Jesus if you're gonna go up against them. Werewolves are more of the beast inside, the lose cannon that is lurking inside every person waiting to get out. They get a lease from the moon, just like the word lunatic means that they are influenced by the moon (luna). One last point to ponder-In "American werewolf in London" the cops killed him with 7.62 FALs (probably using FMJ ammunition). So there's that. PS a little old lady got mutilated late last night. |

Ancient tests in Germany where silver bullets were blessed and sprinkled with holy water did not make them more accurate than their lead counterparts. What the Holy Men didn't understand is that lead is softer and takes to the rifling which imparts the spin that makes them more accurate that the harder silver bullets did. Silver didn't take to rifling. Period. No blessings of the saints will make them better.

Silver is an anti microbial which wards against disease.
It's also one of the mythical lunar elements which means it works on those creatures that hunt at night, as a side note it's also supposed to work against vampires. One of the old tales of vampires not having a reflection in a mirror is because old mirrors were backed with Silver. |

I had read somewhere that the silver bullet story came from some kind of animal rampage in France. The story that inspired the movie Brotherhood of the Wolf, although in the movie they made it a dressed up lion. But that they still haven't figured out exactly what animal was raging. The legend of the Beast of Gévaudan.

Werewolf have a very high regeneration/healing factor. Silver stop the healing process of Werewolf. The silver must stay inside the werewolf to stop the regeneration.
With that said silver is very good at killing bacteria. Silver was used to cure disease in ancient times. Great for purifying waters. |

Use an all-copper large-caliber hollow point, and pour silver into the hollow. The silver plug should detach after expansion and create a secondary wound channel. This is the cheapest option and should also provide good accuracy since the copper bullet will grip the rifling just fine.

One could always get blessed silver needles (see your local baba yaga for details and pricing), and use those to make sabot rounds. 7.62 x 54R is supposed to work well, in that configuration. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Unless you have a really bad werewolf problem in your AO, you're probably not going to shoot enough silver bullets to do much barrel damage. If you're still concerned, however, you'd probably want to use a barrel with polygonal rifling, and/or size your silver bullets right at groove diameter, instead of 2-3 thousandths over like you would with lead. A Christian cross carved, stamped, or molded into the nose of the bullet is recommended. Far more important than those technical issues, you need to find a Catholic priest to bless the bullets, preferably with a little sprinkling of holy water. Dunno if an Anglican or Episcopalian priest would suffice, but I doubt it. Best to stick to the tried-and-true. That will probably necessitate a trip to Cajun country. There are still some bayou priests who know that evil things from the other world prowl the bayous (bayoux?) and won't see the request as odd; your common-or-garden big city priest will sneer at the "superstition" and accuse you of sacrilege. Finally, you must take into account the geographic origin of said werewolves. If your priest doesn't have any advice on technique, you're left with using historical precedent. The accepted techniques for permanently destroying werewolves, vampires, and other demonic were-beasts have varied from region to region, often times overlapping between not only regions, but between the creatures. Since "overkill" is impossible, a combination of silver bullet, wooden stake, silver cross placed in the mouth, decapitation, fire, and burial face-down at an unmarked crossroads with a wooden cross on their back should cover most of the Western Hemisphere were-beasts. Sure, it's a lot of work, but these are not things a wise man does by half-measures. No homo |
