Doesn't Like Guns: Difference between revisions
→Live Action TV
Line 163:
** However, she's perfectly alright with using crossbows, which ''are'' effective against vampires.
** On the other hand, there was one case where a ''bazooka'' was rather useful in the Buffyverse. "What's that do?"
** Of course the Slayer, not being bullet proof, has a vested interest in preventing gun play from breaking out. Spike nearly shoots her in "Fool for Love", but, finding [[Badass Decay]] has set in, is unable to go through with it. And Warren almost kills her with a single pistol shot in "Seeing Red"
** In the episode "Angel", the vampire Darla takes out two pistols to hunt down Buffy and Angel. Of course, as she acknowledges, Angel will not die from being shot (also being a vampire), but it will still hurt like hell. It will also slow him down enough for Darla to stake him -- something she normally can't do, as Angel is both larger and stronger than she is and a superior hand-to-hand combatant.
** As of the end of Season Six, Buffy has a personal reason to hate guns - {{spoiler|She was nearly killed with one in "Seeing Red" and her friend Tara actually was killed.}}
** It's suggested Buffy and Slayers have a moral interest in not resorting to guns. The comics play with this idea.
