For Fun ... What to use against vampires?

Read the Anita Blake series by Laurell Hamilton - gun and vampires.

She gets a couple of things wrong. Like folks there carry a 10mm Beretta (but it is an alternative universe). Her carry guns are a Firestar and Browning HP. Sometimes a Seecamp.

Note this books have strong sexual content for those who this upsets.

The Vampire are major discomforted by silver wounds as they don't heal quickly.

Also major firepower than blows out hearts and heads will work. They recover from all other wounds.
 
Just dig up the old crossbow with some nice wooden bolts.
 
In John Carpenter's move "Vampires" guns were only good for temporarily stunning vampires. To really get a vampire requires a team of people:

1) One person shoots the vampire full of holes to stun it.

2) Another person shoots the vampire with a harpoon, connected to a truck with a metal cable.

3) The truck driver pulls the vampire out of the building and into the sunlight.

VOILA! One fried vampire.
 
I tend to agree with the Bram Stoker version of Vamps - as its the Original. Same thing with Tolkien's Fantasy Middle Earth - its the Original.

According to Bram, knives are good. And if a knife is valid - guns are too. Destroy the heart tissues and the brain... you can call that a "stun" Follow up with a decapitation then stuff the mouth with garlic... I'ld opt for immolation of the remains after that point. The creature is dead - but you still need the purification that a good cleansing by fire gives you.
 
Have you ever seen From Dusk till Dawn? There is an interesting scene where
Harvey Keitel, Quentin Tarantino, Juliet Lewis, And George Clooney kick some vampire butt with holy water filled "water balloons", bullerts with crosses carved into the tip, and various other vampire killing devices.
 
Hollow-point oak bullets semi-jacketed with silver (just in case silver does work on vamps and not just wolves). Hollow cavity filled with holy water and small chuncks of garlic.

Once incapacitated, move in with my trusty Randall #1 freshly dipped in salt water, to be wiped off immediately after my poor attempt at a tracheotomy. Drag the body parts to a field where the sun shines brightly, sit in a lawn chair drinking a Coke eating a Reuban sandwich and watch the fireworks.

Oh, I'd bring a Benelli also in case it decided to turn into a bat. Filled with Dragon's Breath loads.

Several of the vampire mythologies indicate that silver is toxic to vampires, creating wounds that will not heal (or heal very slowly).

Kim Newman has a fun set of books and short stories in which fictional characters from all genres and non-fictional historical figures interact in a world where vampires and werewolves are quite real. He starts off with Anno Dracula in which Bram Stoker's novel was actually based on historical events, but Johnathan Harker and Van Helsing had ultimately failed to destroy the Count. Instead, Dracula returns to Britain and becomes consort to Queen Victoria. As a result, vampirism begins to seep down through English society starting in the upper classes and filtering into the lower classes as newborn vampires are less restrained about their victims. However, trouble is afoot when vampire prostitutes are being killed in Whitehall by a silver-scalpel weilding psycho who dubs himself Jack the Ripper.

The saga picks up again in The Bloody Red Baron. Nationalism has won out over one's status as the undead, and vampires and the living share the trenches on both sides of the Great War. The Baron Manfred von Richthofen and his Flying Circus of vampires are only part of the story.

I haven't read his lastest novel Judgement of Tears which is based in the late '50s in Italy. The short stories are based in the late '70s to the modern day. One of the most twisted is Coppola's Dracula in which The Heart of Darkness is replaced by Stoker's novel as the source material for what we know as Apocalypse Now. In the words of Robert Duvall's Van Helsing: "Nosferatu don't surf!" ;)
 
I thought silver was for werewoles only. Anyway I remeber reading in an old gun rag that on of the writers had as a young man cast some silver bullets with a friend, loaded them up and fired them out of a SA colt type pistol. They didn't work worth a darn according to him. I think he said he thought it was because silver was quite a bit harder than lead (may not have been the pure stuff) and the bullets wouldn't deform in the barrel to grip the rifling as lead does. But then again copper jackets seem to work fine. Go figure....

shiro
 
I also remember in a old gun rag - VAMPIRE SLAYING KITS... Revolvers that are engraved with undead artwork, crosses, vials of holy water and a bible... and IIRC Silver Bullets with crosses engraved in them.

Really cool kits - the cases looked like a little casket.

Hey George,
I was just getting to that. It was in a old issue of GUNS magazine. I have it here somewhere. Did any of you guys see this thing? It was a Colt DSII engraved with some awsome vampire pics. It was in a wooden box, that featured silver bullets sculpted to look like vampires. It also had a wooden stake, and holy water in the box. If you were to look down the business end, you would be looking at a cross that was engraved in the muzzle. Forgive my ignorance, but I can't remember the name of the artist. It was truly a work of art! Why someone would do this is beyond me... BUT I LIKE IT!!

Brent, when I wrote my item #2, I was actually thinking about the John Carpenter's move "Vampires" -- pretty interesting how James Woods constantly keeps racking the slide on his pistol. Not sure but was that a Taurus?
 
Fud:

As I am a strict traditionalist in these matters, I have already prepared myself in case of vampire attack <s>

I own a 4 gauge flintlock blunderbuss that I built a few years ago and it handles 4 oz of OO buckshot very well, thats 27 pellets.

I can just load this sicker up with silver buckshot and tamp down a handfull of garlic as the top wad.

I only get one shot, but I think it will be enough.

Lay up some blackpowder and flints
The rest we can build, if need be
 
Guns & Ammo has shown a couple of vampire-oriented firearms from the Pedersen collection. The most recent was the engraved Colt Detective Special mentioned above. However, an even more interesting example was featured around 1988-89. It was an antique muzzleloading single-shot crucifix. The ramrod served double-duty as a sharpened stake. The ball mold put a small cross on the ball's surface. These of course could be cast of silver. The carrying box had vampire killing instructions with a small mirror inside the lid. Along with spaces for the storage of the before mentioned items, there was also a vial for holy water and I believe there was even room for a garlic clove.

They were unclear if someone had seriously produced it for anti-vampire usage or if it was an antique example of a twisted sense of humor. ;)
 
The book Vampires was so much better than the movie.

The ending of the book was touching and sad.

Ever read Bureau 13, FBI subgroup versus the supernatural?
 
The best thing we can do to get rid of those "blood sucking creatures" is vote them out of office come November. :mad:

RKBA!
 
I always thought it would be kinda fun to catch a vampire and cage it, them try different techniques on it to see what it most effective....THEN you sell a Vampire Eradicator Kit.

And catching someone like Jason from Fri the 13th would be cool because you could test different rounds on him to see which is most effective and he'd just keep coming back for more.

Last but not least, I really, really, REALLY like to marry 'Buffy the Vampire slayer'...great sense of humor, really a doll and she could solve any Vampy, werewolves, monster probs :)
