Silver Bullet	comment	The silver bullet is a common form of Depleted Phlebotinum Shells. It's often called for when supernatural creatures are around for whom silver is an Achilles' Heel. Throughout mythology and subsequent fiction, silver has been a common ward against evil. Silver, especially if blessed, has been thought to ward off or harm certain supernatural beings (including vampires) since the Middle Ages. The use of silver bullets to kill werewolves has become popular only since it was invented by Curt Siodmak, the writer of The Wolf Man (1941).note However, in the 1933 novel The Werewolf of Paris by Guy Endore, someone does use a silver bullet on Bertrand Caillet (though it does not slay him, only landing in the leg). For the details on the practicality of making and using silver ammunition, see the Analysis sub-page. A Sub-Trope of Silver Has Mystic Powers and Depleted Phlebotinum Shells. See also Weapon of X-Slaying for slightly more metaphorical silver bullets. Can also be considered an aversion of Fantasy Gun Control.

It makes all of your projectiles cause massive damage to the Jammed, regular enemies that have been corrupted by a curse. They also take many more shots before they die and they deal double damage. Great when you start accumulating Curse during a run, since the higher it is, the bigger the chance an enemy spawns as Jammed. As a small bonus, silver bullets also deal a little more damage to bosses.

Silver Bullet / int_27b0262b	comment	MythBusters, based on a suggestion related to The Lone Ranger, tested the effectiveness of a silver bullet compared to a standard lead bullet. Since silver warps and shrinks when it cools, the resulting deformation made the bullet's flight path erratic, making for poor accuracy. They didn't test it on an actual werewolf or other supernatural creature, however. They also didn't test whether shotgun shells would get better results. Additionally, during the same test, silver bullets were discovered to have less penetrative power than typical lead rounds. This led to the conclusion that the Lone Ranger used silver bullets because they were much less likely to result in a lethal shot.

And unlike the original, the silver bullet is actually fired into a werewolf's body! Though it's said that for this to work properly, the shooter has to be a loved one of the werewolf. Sir John Talbot has his Indian manservant keep a chest of silver shotgun shells in case he loses control of his lycanthropy. When his son steals a couple of shells and tries to shoot him, Sir John reveals that he removed the powder from the cartridges years ago.

Luckily, Murphy had some silver earrings she inherited from her grandmother, which she had melted down and made into bullets. With the small caliber — she only has equipment to make .22 bullets — it doesn't kill the monster, but it does stop it in its tracks and make it reconsider its options. Fortunately, Harry figures out in the nick of time that a werewolf-killing projectile has to be inherited silver, but not necessarily an inherited silver bullet.

Silver Bullet / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Starting in early editions of the game, the only mundane weapons that could hit a number of monsters are those made of silver. The monsters include not just the usual lycanthropes (e.g. werewolves) but also devils, night hags, and many undead (such as ghosts, wights, and wraiths). To prevent silver weapons being a Game-Breaker, the Dungeon Master's Guide says that he DM should impress upon the players that fighting with swords made of such a soft metal all the time is a bad idea... In real life, silver is harder than bronze but much softer than steel. In terms of durability, therefore, silver would be somewhere between the two. In an iron-age setting against heavy armor (like plate), a silver piercing weapon like a short sword or dagger would stay effective longer than a silver slashing weapon like a long sword. In Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, the silver that worked against supernatural beings wasn't actually silver but "alchemical silver", i.e. a normal steel weapon plated with silver. The softness was also codified as a slight damage penalty to slashing and piercing weapons. So if you want a silvered weapon, a mace or hammer is usually a better choice than a sword. Alternatively, you could use the much more expensive mithral, which counts as silver for the purposes of damage reduction and doesn't incur the damage penalty, as well as weighing less.

Silver does indeed have a use against werewolves like the usual legends say as it prevents them from regenerating, but as the actual precious metal isn't very dense, it isn't a very effective weapon against werewolves' hide and flesh (which are much tougher than humans, hence why they're a threat). Thus, Hunters instead use the heavier wolfonium in their anti-werewolf weapons.

Silver Bullet / int_84986bf9	comment	RuneScape has several kinds of silver weapons. The sword Silverlight, or its upgraded form Darklight, are required to kill the demons Delrith and Agrith Naar. It is also one of the only two things that can disable a tormented demon's fire shield. Silverlight and Darklight are also extra effective against other demons. Undead trees can only be damaged with a mithril hatchet with a silver edge made from a holy symbol. The silver dagger called Wolfbane prevents werewolves from transforming if you fight them while wielding it, but it has no effect on werewolves that are already transformed. Ghasts require a blessed silver sickle to kill them, although you don't need to actually fight them with the sickle. The blessed silver sickle is used to cast a spell that allows you to gather items that are used to fill a magic pouch that makes ghasts visible and able to be damaged. Vampyre juvenates cannot be harmed by anything except silver or blisterwood weapons, but you cannot kill them without a Rod of Ivandus, which is an enchanted staff made of a silver alloy that has the power to restrain vampyres and a Guthix balance potion, which has silver dust as an ingredient. This potion will either kill the vampyre, turn them back into a human, or turn them into an angry vampyre, otherwise they will turn into mist and escape. Elite vampyres, known as Vyrewatch, lose the ability to escape by turning into mist and are not affected as much by the Guthix balance potion, but are immune to all silver weapons except for the Ivandus flail, which is an upgraded version of the Rod of Ivandus, made by combining it with a blessed silver sickle attached to it with a chain. This is because vyrewatch have mind-reading powers, which the flail counters by being unpredictable. Blisterwood weapons are the only other thing that can harm them. Feral vampyres, angry vampyres, vampyre juveniles, and other vampyres outside of Morytania can be killed without silver weapons. Silver crossbow bolts also exist but do not have any special use besides being able to harm, but not kill, vampyre juvenates like all other silver weapons. They are the only type of crossbow bolt that the player makes by casting them instead of making them on an anvil.

Since mercury has about the same density as lead but is a liquid, the effect it has upon striking a body is quite horrific (it practically explodes). In the final volume, Seras kills the Millennium werewolf known as The Captain with a silver tooth (which was implied to have been taken from the skull of a concentration camp victim fifty-odd years earlier). In real life, shooting mercury out of a gun would be very illegal due to it being more poisonous than lead and more difficult to clean up. You can however try using rounds made of gallium, which has properties very similar to mercury but isn't as toxic, though the damage they do will not be as spectacular since gallium isn't nearly as dense.

Silver Bullet / int_b5a087d7	comment	Robot Chicken: Spoofed in one sketch. While playing a pen-and-paper RPG, one player offers an... alternative... to the silver bullet to kill a werewolf. Even after reducing it to a puddle of viscera with a rotary gun, mopping that up into a bucket and lighting it on fire, snorting the ashes, then crapping it out, where it gets processed through a sewer system, the game master stubbornly insists that the werewolf is still alive through all of that, it has to be a silver bullet. The impracticality is likewise lampshaded in the sketch the page quote comes from, where The Lone Ranger is challenged as to whether silver bullets are as good at actually being shot as regular bullets. The Ranger replies by shooting a can on the ground so much it flies up in the air higher than any of them are tall, hitting it with every single bullet... then after a short pause, Tonto embarrasses them all by interjecting with "that silver could have fed my entire tribe for a year".

Theories why this is so are many, but no one knows for sure. The exact method depends: pure silver is crap as a bullet, so many Hunters use a modified Corbon Pow'RBall design. Originally a hollowpoint intended to mimic the reliable FMJ shape by pressing in a plastic bead that would crush and let it expand on impact, they replaced that ball with silver. The US government agencies use a different design for their rifle ammunition. The justification: they don't need much silver, so the ball is enough. In the case of monsters that don't require any silver to kill, well, they still shot it with hollowpoints.

Silver Bullet / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS: Silver bullets are hard to male but have no negative effect on range or damage, against werewolves they do multiplied damage. High-Tech points out one potential problem: because they are relatively soft silver bullets can mess up rifled firearms. Notably, this is wrong. Silver is harder than lead, but also less dense. It has also been discovered that a silver bullet will shrink while cooling, and thus a silver bullet cast in a regular bullet mold comes out smaller than the intended size. Also, silver does not "mushroom" in the barrel as much as lead does. Thus, the bullet does not form a proper seal against the grooves of the barrel, allowing much of the gas to escape around the bullet, and the bullet does not get as much spin imparted to it. As a result, a silver bullet has a shorter range and less stopping power (except against werewolves, of course) when compared to a lead bullet.

Memorable examples include Dead of Night (you're monster-hunting templar who starts the game with a silver crucifix), Vault of the Vampire (you can use a silver-plated stake to kill the Count for good), Magehunter (where a silver bullet is Mencius' sole weakness, via Boom, Headshot!) and finally Howl of the Werewolf (where you have to collect a series of silver daggers and you can be killed by a hunter armed with actual silver bullets)

Silver Bullet / int_fd23416d	comment	In Sheep's Clothing, half-skinwalker gunslinger Wolf Cowrie is stabbed with a silver dagger and the point broken off in him. While it isn't immediately fatal, it cripples him badly and likely would have killed him had a local doctor not been able to get the piece out.

Silver Bullet / int_fe225cd4	comment	In The Chronicles of Amber, gunpowder doesn't work in Amber. In The Guns of Avalon, Corwin has discovered another substance which will work like gunpowder there. He also uses silver bullets because he figures it can't hurt. And Caine uses silver-headed arrows to shoot Brand during the final battle. It doesn't pay to take chances with that family.
