The rumor that their ammunition was greased with lard was one of the things that set off the Sepoy Mutiny in colonial India. Some fellows are following along with a tangent idea....

It kind of reminded me of "Supernatural Ammunition". An enterprising fellow makes bullets of mahogany with a silver core and a steel jacket. Effective against fairies, vampires, werewolves, and zombies.

I'm trying to figure out your composition. Vampires and werewolves, as I understand it, are hyper-allergic to silver. So the silver would somehow have to rupture from the steel jacket. I'm guessing it would be better, more reliable, if the bullet base wasn't steel jacketed so that, if nothing else, the mahogany and the silver were both exposed there. Even a through and through without significant deformation of the steel jacket would have exposed material to the species.

I'm thinking something like a nosler partition. It has a lead spire point and the back end of the bullet isn't jacketed.

All though, a couple of companies, Oregon Trail for one, already cast silver into lead for hardness. Not a lot, but certainly enough for a werewolf or vampire. I'm not sure the steel is really needed. I'm assuming you're seeing that for zombies. But I'm wondering if we can't emulsify the mahogany and use it as a coating, something like they did with molybdenum bullets for a while. Or...wow, wait, the mahogany could be added to the tip like plastic is now for ballistic tip bullets.

I think that would pretty much eliminate the need for steel.

So a partition type bullet with silver added to the lead and a mohagany tip.

What do you think?

Actually, never played it. But I do reload ammo. I once spent three years seeking the perfect antelope round/rifle. I have an app on my phone that will make most shooting corrections for you, it'll even use GPS to look up the weather and altitude where you're shooting, compare it to the load date you worked up on your range and feed you corrections. Zombie loads have long been a topic of discussion. In fact there is a major ammunition manufacturer that markets bullets as zombie loads. It has pictures of zombies right on the box.

The steel is to take out the faerie. They are allergic to iron, ya know.

No, I must have who's allergic to what all fouled up. I'll get back to this after research.

Here's my new thinking. Nosler used to make a bullet called the "Fail Safe". It was a partition bullet with a steel cup inside. So, we bring back the fail safe. We blend the lead with silver. And we use a ballistic tip of mohagany.

Who makes more of 'A Killing' here?

Me, with my shotgun against a horde of fifty to ninety zombies?

Or the Company selling those shell boxes by the 10's?

And that depends on which kind of zombie I'm up against. Zombies from the TV show 'Supernatural' are inhumanly strong. While 'Left for Dead' come in various concepts. 'Seven Days to Die' zombies are FAST at night (not to mention those fucking dogs). In 'Killing Floor 2" some of them are invisible! In the Fantasy Flight RPG game "Zombie Apocalypse" for its like of 'End of the World' books; the zombies are ANYTHING you want to throw at your players.

So again, how effective is that ammunition against zombies?

joether,
It would depend on whether they are slow zombies, fast zombies, Haitan voodoo zombies, or Unbrella corporation zombies.

You can't just shoot zombies. They have to be completely burned. Even a single pinky toe remaining will try to hunt.

Sure, you wanna shoot out their jaws, so they can't bite you, but they're still gonna try.

Yup, gotta burn the bastards.

JVoV, haven't you been watching the walking dead? The black woman with the katana found that when you cut off their jaw and their arms they suddenly somehow realize they can't eat or tear you apart and become tame. She hauled two around on a leash and other zombies smelled them and not her and ignored her. We learn more about zombies all the time.

Joe, go to an ammo store and look for shotgun shells for your shotgun. Buck shot, personal defense loads, most 31/2" turkey loads, most goose loads, pretty much every custom large diameter load comes in boxes of ten. It's all still competitive in the market place by all of the manufacturers. The pictures of the zombies on the box just say, "pick me...pick me to show your friends." For instantaneous, since waterfowl hunting with lead is illigal, most of the real high end material they use for pellets for duck hunting comes in boxes of ten because that stuff is pretty expensive to buy in large quantities.

I have s good friend who is a Mormon. His youngest son was getting ready to go off on his Mission. He asked the kid what he wanted to do before he went. The kid said he wanted to shoot his grandfathers guns. My friend called and asked if he could bring him and shoot at my house. I said sure and id let the kid shoot anything i had as well.

After a day of shooting, my friend told me it occurred to him, after seeing my stuff, that the whole idea that the church teaches to have a years worth of food stores seemed like it would be useless because guys like me would just come and take it. I said yup.

And when I saw those, the zombie loads cost less than the "standard" loads.

I've never heard of a supernatural creature that's allergic to mahogany. Which one is that?

Sounds like leftist propaganda. You'll be missed.
