Silver bullet information


A prop silver bullet, as used by the Lone Ranger; the effectiveness of real silver bullets compared to lead ones is not entirely known.

In folklore, a silver bullet is often one of the few weapons that are effective against a werewolf, vampire, witch, or other supernatural beings.[1][2] The term silver bullet is also a metaphor for a simple, seemingly magical, solution to a difficult problem: for example, penicillin circa 1930 was a "silver bullet" that allowed doctors to treat and successfully cure many bacterial infections.
