I still have a shitload of the IMI 7.62 Blanks with the purple wooden bullet that was going for $50.00 a case back in the 90's. I've been savin'em just in case of another vampire infestation...

Quoted:
Something interesting: there is an antique Colt revolver chambered for .38 Special that gets traded around sometimes, they've run a couple articles about it: the gun itself is engraved is engraved with images of vampires, crucifixes, etc. On one grip are a couple little silver bats, like kill markers. The box it comes with has inside it a mirror, a crucifix fashioned into a sharpened stake, a small vial labeled "holy water" with, you guessed it, holy water in it, a small compartment that apparently held cloves of garlic, judging by the scent, and six cartridges, one of them spent, with bullets made of solid silver and engraved to look like the heads of snarling vampires.

Somebody in the late 1800's/early 1900's either had a sense of humor or a sense of the dramatic. Probably both.

Also, I've been told by many an old farmer/rancher, that if there's something preying on the livestock or people that "just ain't normal" (the description rarely goes beyond that and a shudder), nothing "fixes it" better than a double-barrel shotgun loaded with pre-1965 silver dimes instead of buckshot. I'll take their word for it and save the silver for something better.

I remember seeing that article. Mid-late 1980's? IIRC the case was shaped like a coffin.

I would definately want a melee weapon of some sort. A broadsword or maybe an axe.

Rather than enter vampire infested buildings, I would simply wait for daylight and torch them. Molotov cocktails would be a very useful weapon.

I would definately stop by the church for some holy water. A sprayer will definately be part of the kit.

Firearms? A 12ga shotgun with buckshot, maybe some slugs.

What tactics would you use for surviving the night? Would you hide out in your house or open fire on them? I still think staying invisible is the best survival tactic. You start shooting at them from your roof and they will have to do something about you.

I would stay indoors at night. A good stone walled church or cathedral. You know, Holy Ground.

That movie sucked.

Read the book, it is awesome.

John Steakley also wrote Armor.

His books are a wild ride.

As for defeating the vampires?

I'd rather be one!

Steakley seems like a good guy. I have exchanged email with him a few times, but it was awhile back. I wish he would write more in the line of Armor, but I guess ghosting novels get paychecks, so I can't blame him.

Don't leave us hanging, give us more information about the antique colt revolver.
Sounds as if it belonged to a vampire hunter.

i have a guns and ammo from the 80s with it on the cover it came in a little coffin was engraved in a vampire motiff and came with six rounds with silver bullets molded to look like Draculas head also had a stake for backup
I think i was 10 or so when that issue came out I thought it was the coolest thing in the world

That's the one. The article I'm thinking of is mid-90's though, when the guy who bought it in the 80's auctioned it off and somebody else bought it.

I am a huge fan of this discussion.

But, when are the flock of assholes who say "Umm, vampires aren't real" or some such going to show up?

According to Stephen King Vampires cannot enter your home without your permission. So I'd sit tight till daylight then run like hell.

On the other hand though if the vampire looked like that chick from Underworld, I'd turn

Even if that vamp chick is hot, vamps are techincally dead. No blood pressure. How are you going to get it up to bang said hot vamp chick?

Kill her, because if you cant have her, NO ONE CAN!

That'll work until the vampires turn into bats and get sucked into your engines.

I don't know if I woul leave my house in search of Holy Ground. Remember, it's night out and you saw a group of vampires entering a neighbor's house. I envisioned the thread as a "What would you do if you were in this situation?" Do you bunker in your house, go for the car and try to escape, snipe from the rooftop, or blaze of glory?

You know that the guy who bought the vampire revolver is a vampire nut. You also know that the guy is a gun nut. So, it stands to reason that this guy is one of the ARFCOMers. Whoever you are, post a picture of the revolver.
