TvTropes entry for Silver Bullet

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, was 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 1941 film The Wolf Man (though in the 1933 novel The Werewolf of Paris by Guy Endore, someone did use a silver bullet on Bertrand Caillet, though it did not slay him, only landing in the leg).

In reality, there are a number of difficulties involved in mass producing silver bullets the traditional way, but they can indeed be created using common everyday items. Using lost wax casting they can be created using simply wax, plaster of paris, and a propane torch (search the internet for real silver bullet and you will find several techniques for making them).

Silver melts at a far higher temperature than lead (961.8°C/1,763.24°F vs. 327.5°C/621.5°F), unlike lead which can be melted over a hot fire or kitchen stove. When cooling, silver shrinks more than lead does when it solidifies, so the use of a mold designed for lead would result in an undersized bullet, subsequently one must start with a mold that is oversized. An alternative would be to machine the bullets from commercially available rods or bars of silver; however, this would be very time consuming and require specialized machinery and skills.

Silver also costs a lot more than lead does, making silver bullets a rather costly proposition. Silver is less dense than lead, but it is also more dense than copper which is already being used as a bullet source for modern firearms. Silver has been proven to engage rifling of a barrel similar to the way copper does.

An alternative solution to a solid silver bullet that comes up surprisingly rarely is silver-jacketed rounds, coating a lead projectile in a shell of silver in the way regular bullets use copper. This would increase the mass of the bullet while decreasing the amount of silver you need per round (and since the silver jacket could be quite thin, its hardness would be unlikely to impair the bullet engaging the barrel's rifling), but the manufacturing process isn't something a Vampire Hunter could easily MacGyver in their garage.

Another solution would be a shotgun with shells packed with silver shot; this, too, is seldom used, but would be even easier than silver-jacketed rounds to make (and no rifling issues since shotguns don't have rifling in the first place). You can even forgo the hassle of melting your silver, as industrial-grade silver grain is easily available, if really pricey, in large quantities.

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.

In an episode of Eerie Indiana, a werewolf is shot with a silver bullet — in the foot. It instantly cures him of his lycanthropy, but he must then be rushed to the hospital to treat his gunshot wound.

MisterPrickly on werewolf mythology in popular culture

I've only ever ONCE seen a werewolf movie or TV show where the monster gets shot with a silver bullet and lives.

Eerie Indiana had a werewolf episode where the beast gets shot in the foot and is cured; HOWEVER he has to keep the bullet in his foot or else the cure returns.

Eerie, Indiana Harvest King Year

If you want to ensure good luck, low taxes, and a high yield crop, better slap a goofy looking hat on the nearest male over 13, and pretend they were headed for a Spanish vacation come the harvest. It's time to buy a ticket for the Eerie, Indiana Harvest King lottery and wait for the Eerie Wolf to make an appearance.

Eerie, Indiana Rewatch 2017: Mister Chaney

Head off into the mountain with some weird farmer guy you've never met before, I'm sure that will never work out badly. Time to rewatch Mister Chaney.

Reddit poster looking for people's thoughts on Eerie, Indiana

Personally I thought it was a fantastic show that had some great horror elements to it. I wish they'd bring it back!

EmmettRotts: I absolutely loved the show, kind of like The Twilight Zone for kids, minus the reoccurring characters. Sad they took it off of Netflix. Oh, and Supernatural totally copied the last episode in "The French Mistake".

horva1kr: Loved this show when I was younger. A few years ago it was available on one of the streaming services...I can’t remember which one but I definitely remember watching it again!

MizardOfOz: yeah it was on Netflix! I loved watching the series through again. The Werewolf episode was awesome.

dssonic: Good show - they did a second season (with different actors) much later called "Eerie Indiana - the Other Dimension". If you are looking for something modern in this same style, watch "Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street" on Amazon Prime - it is fantastic.

Ebuloz: I loved Eerie Indiana, maybe the show was a little ahead of its time.

johnnydakota: I remember the one with the ATM that gave Simon free money. And the tupperware family. I rewatched the show a while back but those are the only ones that come to mind. Good stuff.

Lardawgg: Tupperware family always gets me.

hellfish11I'll SWALLOW YOUR SOOOOUL!!!: It was one of those shows like Picket Fences that showed up after Twin Peaks hit. Twin Peaks really changed the landscape of TV more than people give it credit for.

ranranbolly: Great show. Pretty dark for a kids series (the dog episode ending? Wow.) It holds up pretty well, too, which you can’t really say for a lot of shows.

Eerie, Indiana rewatch 2015: episode fifteen, Mr. Chaney

Not gonna lie, guys; this is easily one of my top five. I still get really happy when I see Stephen Root in anything, purely because seeing him makes me think of this episode. Without further delay, prepare yourself for the amazing awesomeness of... Mr. Chaney!
