Hiya, to anyone who has read FVR, here's a question for you. Keeping in mind that convention arms in that setting WILL kill a werewolf if you deal out enough damage in a short enough timespan...

If YOU were a werewolf hunter, what weapons would YOU use? ^0o^

Given the facts as you placed in the story and assuming it actually has hunters, then they would probably already know by now what is and isn't myth so i'd probably go with weapons that inflict mass damage or if going the route of capture and retrieval then i'd use some highly potent and very fast acting poison though it's effectiveness would be in question considering the lack of information you provided in that department.

However if looking to shoot to kill, then the more likely choice would probably be high callibur weaponry or possibly fully automatics. The more easily available would probably be the AK-47 given it's versatility and easy access on most black markets.

I'd say anything that would cause dismemberment or put enough rounds into a werewolf to incapacitate it regardless of its strength. So 1) high rate of fire, 2) very powerful rounds, or 3) explosive weapons.

The traditional weapon of choice in Romania is iron pitchforks, scythes, or even smack the thing with the edge of a shovel. According to Romanian lore, if you wound a werewolf it's forced to change back into human form--then you can capture it.

Hollywood's been smokin' somethin'.

Claymore charges and tripwires...

I'd say it depends on what you want to achieve and what happens when they're hurt, but generally, I'd pick 'area' weapons as werewolves can be FAST, and you may not have the luxury of aiming.

I... wouldn't want to hunt them. I'm not the kind of guy who goes around senselessly shooting creatures.

I'm more up on vampire lore but i would say something like a heavy axe or ball and chain mace would be the most traditional methods.

I think some one stated Romanian lore on the way they revert, thats right on the money gotta be a BIG hit though.

If you are writing on ones that don't revert good ol 12 gauge. to be honest you have a creature thats going to close in on you fast you need a short powerful weapon.

I saw a grenade launcher on this thread, to me thats to hit and miss a WW would be on you before you could hit him id use it to fire smoke or flash bangs.

Stun grenades would be a kit no WW hunter would leave behind.

A personal fav would be the flamer thrower (but you'd need volunteers to be fearless).

Submachine guns COULD be good, but yous need large rounds to fell one.

I saw one wepson the other day thinking on it that could be just up your street, it was a 1920s weapon favored by female gangsters and one being a WW2 nut just couldnt resist.

A sawn off BAR it has thee good things going for it:

1) large rounds
2) SPRAY AND PAY
3) Light enough for anyone to use.

magnums would be good but with only 6 rounds i wouldn't want to miss.

Me I wouldn't want to. I'm not a killer but a side arm of a Browning High Power (the Browning L9A1 is my actual side arm) its only a 9mm but has 13 rounds (yup 13 of the buggers) Im sure 13 9mm rounds to the face would pulp the puppy... thats if it didn't take my face off first.

I saw a picture online of a Russian lady adding a wooden stock to her hi power with 13 rounds it makes a good stop gap Sub machine gun.

Wow I love Hi Powers

For my primary weapon, I would choose the Kriss Vector SMG .45ACP submachine gun. They have developed a unique design and mechanism that really tames the recoil, and a .45 pumping out 600-800 rounds per minute will stop just about anything it hits. Of course, a 30 round magazine will only last 2-3 seconds, and that's the biggest mag they're offering right now.



Sorry about the text, but that's the best picture I can find right now.

They're also offering a semi-auto only carbine, with a 16" barrel. The SMG has a 5.5" barrel.

If you're using hollow points, you can always add some crushed garlic, packed in the hollow point.

For my backup, I would prefer a ParaOrdnance Tac4 or Springfield XD45, but I'd actually be carrying a Glock 21, since the Glock magazines are compatible with the Kriss. (The ParaOrd and Springfield mags are not.)

The BAR is still a bit on the heavy side though. And a 20-round magazine for an "automatic rifle." Why not a 7.62x51mm rifle like the M14 (which was the replacement for the BAR iirc) or the FN FAL?
