On the Difficulties of Casting Silver Bullets....

Ran across this tonight, and found it interesting.

I think that I might stick with silver shot, much easier to craft, and a 12 guage blast with silver buck shot would put anything down.

Good find.

Interesting article. Apparently, he missed silver jacketed hollow points in his internet search. He was about to go into hardness being a "problem", when in actuality it makes for some really neat ballistic qualities in combination with the slight drop in weight (the very reason for silver jacketed hollow points).

He's right about one thing: any hard metal takes longer to work into shape than a soft metal. You don't need to be a genius to figure that one. So gold bullets to kill zombies and loas and other evils of African extraction with are much easier to make yourself than making steel core AP rounds for killing stupid Majestic -12 guys wearing armored underoos. But that doesn't make those AP rounds harder to come by than the gold bullets, does it?

Because in any situation where silver bullets seem to come up as a need for an organization with any sort of regularity, they are likely to become available through that organization. If you're agent team has run into a werewolf before, chances are someone in Ordinance & Logistics has probably slapped together a few boxes just in case of a second run in.
