Line 169:
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': The mission of the entire SG project was to exploit alien technology or hybridize it with conventional weaponry to defend the Earth.
{{quote| '''Gen. Vidrine:''' You're telling me that a ''slammer missile'' could take out a Goa'uld mothership?<br />
'''Maj. Carter:''' When equipped with shield frequency modulators and naquadah-enhanced warheads... yes sir. }}
** In the later seasons {{spoiler|Anubis warriors}} prove to be functionally [[Immune to Bullets]] which necessitates research into some of these.
Line 252:
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Though ''[http://theglen.livejournal.com/131998.html some]'' [[Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do In An RPG|variants]] apparently are over the top:
{{quote| 1117. Can't strangle a werewolf with a roll of Kodak film, no matter what we all know it's made out of.}}
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 335:
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Discworld]]'': In the undead bar of Ankh-Morpork, the bartender, Igor, has a weapon as follows:
{{quote| "Like many barmen, Igor kept a club under the bar to deal with those little upsets that occurred around closing time... Igor's weapon of choice was a little different. It was tipped with silver (for werewolves), hung with garlic (for vampires) and wrapped around with a strip of blanket (for bogeymen). For everyone else the fact that it was two feet of solid bog-oak usually sufficed."}}
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'': "Greater Than the Sum" introduced a "multivector weapon" designed to use everything against the Borg that had ever been somewhat effective. Then the Borg got ahold of it before it could be used against them--and did what they always do--they adapted.
* ''[[The Bartimaeus Trilogy]]'': All spirits from the weakest mite to the greatest marid can be severely hurt by silver, iron, and certain types of herbs and spices, such as rosemary. Magicians, commoners, and other spirits exploit this to no end. It gets to the point where powerful spirits are taken down by improvised use of everyday metals more often than they are by the devastatingly destructive spells these entities can employ.
Line 366:
== [[Web Original]] ==
* The legendary Usenet poster 'Gharlane of Eddore' once proposed a design for a Standard Generic Monster Load, which was:
{{quote| Silver bullet; hex-scored jacketed hollow-point filled with a gel made of Holy Water, wolfsbane, garlic, fugu toxin and curare, laced with dimethyl sulfoxide to provide tractor-solvent Spreading Factor. Traditionalists can also cut crosses in the bases of the bullets, and have them blessed by a priest. .44 magnum 240-grain load over the standard Elmer Keith hunting load, 24 grains of IMR 2400 (the manual says 21.8 grains is maximum, so don't use the 24-grain load if you have a cheap revolver). These work reliably on Vampires, Werewolves, the generic Undead, and Evil Human Minions like [[The Renfield|Renfield]], with sublime indifference. }}
