who makes silver bullet? - Page 2

Cheygriz,

In which episode does Buffy use silver bullets for vamps?

I've seen them all from the first 3 seasons, and can't remember one...

I made 2 in 45 Long Colt. Melted some silver coins and cast them. You never know about the werewolf thing.

Is this Tanto thing still going on? I can't believe this.

All this talk and NO ONE was able to tell me how "kemosabe" was spelled. Possibilities: Chemo-sabe....did Tanto have hair? Kimosabe...was he really turning Japanese? Quimosabe...was he actually a Mexican with feathers? Xemozabe...maybe the last Aztec? Kemosabe...the guy down the street?

Steve: I jumped out and found a few Lone Ranger web pages. First one I saw: http://www.skypoint.com/members/joycek19/ranger.htm

Here's a quote from the page: "You kemo sabe," said Tonto; it mean 'trusty scout.'

There you go.

""You kemo sabe," said Tonto; it mean 'trusty scout.'"

At least that's what Tonto TOLD the Lone Ranger...

But LR always wondered why other Indians would snicker when he heard Tonto mention his name...

Mike,

Buffy only uses wooden stakes on TV. I met her on patrol one night, I was hunting Chupacabras, and she told me about the effectiveness of silver bullets on vampires.

BTW, wooden stakes don't work worth a darn on Chupacabras. I've tried them!

All I can say is the lone ranger had to have one hell of a hot campfire to melt the silver for his bullets. Some of the silver solder I use needs over 1200 degrees to melt it, I suspect casting temperature would fall somewhere around brass which is about 2200 degrees. I too would go with the lathe turned bullet idea.
