I edited my post to include "fragmenting". Hollow points would also work.

I love brainstorming.

I love brainstorming too, but it makes my head hurt.

Since the group seems to have settled on the "we need silver" to kill a werewolf
Are we talking about a severe allergic reaction to silver like in Underworld
Or are we talking about a supernatural creature and silver being a metal with mystical powers

Would a good blow from a silver mace to the head be lethal (supernatural) or would it take a silver Bullet in a vital area

Would a bullet in the arm or butt kill it because of allergic or mystical reaction

Either way I don't think it would matter. I guess all the silver object would need to do is break the skin and stay embedded. If that's the case then a BB gun would work as long as the velocity is fast enough.

I of course don't know MonkeyBomb's take on this, but I would personally say the it would take a substantial "Wound" to actually kill a Werewolf. Beating the crap out of it with a silver Mace would only wound it unless it is a beating that we would normally associate with being lethal.

Nothing "Mythical" or "Mystical" would do much more than annoy it.

anybody know much about colloidal silver?

seen pics of people who take enough of that stuff they turn blue. it may not keep a werewolf from attacking but it might make him think twice about biting and snaking on you. and mix some in a couple pints and... well, a werewolf wouldnt want to get too close .

I saw one guy on the TEE vee that took so much of that stuff he looked like Papa Smurf.

All I know about it is that they sell it as a "Cure" for all kinds of stuff. Or at least a It'll keep you healthy.

I think I'll keep my silver in my coin tray.

That guy just passed away recently. He was from Oregon.

If I remember correctly, it is (at least sometimes) used as an antiseptic isn't it? Problem is a Werewolf wouldn't realize you had it in you until after you were already Human tar tar! NOT a good thing to be.

You know, maybe we should all watch the Underworld movies, but from the point of view of them being training manuals!

This thing loaded with silver bullets:

I believe they made a bear survival kit with that in it at one point
