Why Do You Need A Silver Bullet To Kill A Werewolf?

[BeenHereBefore 1,441]

Can't just chop their heads off with swords or machete ?

What happens if you shoot them with a gold bullet ? Do they just say thanks and I'm keeping this and walk away ?

I really have to think the "chopping off head" thing would work. It's certainly more intuitive than a silver bullet. My God, what did they do before guns?

I know really and I have a point ?

Maybe it has to be a silver sword and only cheap metal swords work for zombies ?

I thought it was silver in general not specifically a bullet

Not sure about you but if I had to tangle with a werewolf,  I'd rather do it with a stand-off weapon like a gun.

How would a coors light kill a lycanthrope?

how do you kill one? Movie's portrait that a silver bullet will give you a "one shot, one kill", silver bullets work, but not that effectively. It will usually take three to five rounds to take down a fully mature werewolf.
   Mercury is also used to hunt a werewolf. Although, mercury is pretty much the same as using a silver bullet, that is were it get's it's nickname "guicksilver".
   Removing the heart or head is a sure fire way to kill a werewolf. Younger one's can suffer a brain injury or puncher of the heart to kill it.
   Turning them on their own kind will often work. This is a very effective way but it is hard to accomplish, for to fact that they hunt like wolve's do, were they only fight each other for dominence. But, if you kill the leader, the pack is usally scared or much easier to kill.
   If you find a werewolf in his "human" state, kill it then, it is easier, and it will not live on.
   These are effective ways to kill a werewolf. Hunters usally stick to using older weapons to kill a werewolf, crossbows, swords, canes, and rarly use guns to kill one, unless using silver bullets.
