Overall answer: don't worry about it.

i met some austrian ghostbuster guys in a bar on my trip to belarus 1987 they had custom made .38 special silver tipped bullets for monster hunting.
they heard rumors that a werewolf had attacked flocks of sheep in a village nearby.
they carried all kinds of crazy tinhat level equipment.

they stayed in the same hotel as i and my buddies, so we got drunk one or two times, before they returnt to austria

>>31173816
Wouldn't it be more economical and practical to just have a silver tip penetrator for volume monster hunting?

>>31173816
anon I wouldn't think about this too much.
A glock 17 is all you need
I also heard there was some great 9mm FMJ on sale

I hate the atf.

Since the silver really hurts, you probably want as much of it as possible

>>31173974
lead galvanized with silver would prooduce more silver surface area thus result in more stoppan power

>>31173830
No

Silver doesn't engage riffling on any material reliably so you might as well use a smoothbore barrel and have sliver pellets or slugs.

>>31173816
>what would the gun barrel be made of so you could consistently shoot silver without wearing the barrel down quickly?

Steel.

Plain, normal steel.

Whereas copper, as used in a normal jacketed load has a Vickers' Pyramid Hardness of 343–369 (kgf/mm2) silver has just a VPH rating of 250kgf/mm2

A normal steel barrel would wear less using silver ammo, than it would copper-jacketed.

Basic physics would've taught you that.

>would silver be effective for at least wounding a skinwalker

Ah. My mistake. you're a fucking idiot with no understanding of reality.

No, you're going to have to have a barrel custom forged from damascus steel, and inlaid with silver wire patterns to focus the power of silver.

I cant make it, but your idiocy might well help a gunsmith make a decent day's wage off you.

Here is a cool question: What if the bullet was a hollow copper shell filled with silver powder/tiny pelets (0.5mm)? Wouldnt that be much more deadly for the agyrophobe creature since it would spread the deadly metal around its flesh to far and wide to be properly removed?

Unless skinwalkers defy the laws of physics, lead will kill them as easily as it kills anybody else.

If skinwalkers defy the laws of physics, it's your duty to get bitten so that the dream of bullet proof /k/ommandos can finally be realized.

>>31173816
How about gold bullets?

Seems like it was made to be a lead substitute if it weren't so rare

>implying gold is more rare than silver
>more physical gold on earths surface than silver due to demand

>>31174321
I never implied that, but both gold and silver are rarer than lead and copper

>>31174331
true, but the greater softness of silver would form a better seal in the barrel

>>31174283
Gold would be nice. It would be a little too soft but nothing a little bit of copper in it wouldnt solve.

The absolute best tough would be Osmium. Unfortunetly it is somewhat britle and rarer than gold or silver, being mainly found in small quantities alongside platinum.

Fun fact, you should probably just carry a bag of coarse salt around with you if you are worried
If you drop something like that in front of a vampire, they supposedly stop and count the grains
And werewolves allegedly hate salt, because ya know, salt and demons don't mix

Another fantasy on /k/ thread
Have a must be killed by silver critter (or whatever kinda stuff)
Easy fast solution
go to jewelry store
Buy lengths of high purity silver chain with big fat links.

If you have time order industrial silver grain. (overnight shipping!)
http://www.apmex.com/category/25775/industrial-silver-grain

Alternate get some iron bearings of appropriate size as well
(for the iron vulnerable critters)
Get out your 12 gauge
Start popping open your 12 gauge ammo and replacing lead with links from silver chains. Fighting killed by cold iron critters add iron bearings.

No delays for casting, Good CQB shotguns weapons are available.
Can shoot pretty much any material that is not harder than the steel of your barrel and even then you can swap out barrels. No special snowflake take two weeks to make. You could have your werewolf killer weapon in a few hours.

See http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SilverBullet for a discussion of this.

Potentially the shotgun shell delivery system could be used for many materials

Silver doesn't hurt skinwalkers, you need white ash (the tree or just any ash that's white isn't quite clear, best to double up with white ashes from white ash wood)

Rice only works with Chinese/jap/Korean vampires. It's hard to tell Chinese vampire because they all have the same teeth, so best poricy is to drop rice in front if all Asians.
