Fog machines with garlic power and/or Colloidal Silver mixed into the fog solution. Causes sickness and/or death them.

Tranquliser darts, with a silver neddle, full of holy water...Makes them go KA-BOOM. Stand at least 25' away, you will find that if you don't you get guts all over you.

Also, silver BB's and an air gun or a paint ball gun. Also, holy water paint balls work quite good, especially when frozen.

That's enough tips, from the UK.

I've worked with silver hallide suspended in DMSO for gel rounds. They can be packed for almost any caliber, and most of the state ingredients can be purchased over the counter ('cept the bullet presses- but you can go online for those). The suspension agent works pretty well with any type of liquid medium, so I suppose other combinations would work as well.

You boys and your toys ,just clobber the bastards into submission and then ram an unprocessed wooden stake (I call them two by fours) through the chest area, works every time!

what if the vampire is wearing armor?

that's where all the clobberin comes in! That's the best part ya big silly

Ya know...I like you.

Just curious, but has anyone worked on containment methods? That is, not destroying a vampire, but immobilizing and containing them?

...Nope, can't say that I have tried any methods to contain vampires...Seeing as how the only ones I've ever met have been interested in tearing out my throat, I don't see any reason why I would want to contain one.

I'd agree with this. Vampires scare the heck out of me, and the only way I deal with them is to destroy them. Why would anyone, in their right mind, want to contain one? For what purpose?

Best way to contain Vampires.. I'm assuming you're talking of the Run of the mill Vampire ...



Lock em in a box with running water, While Staked .. or any of those DAvid Blaine style Traps
...

and you can use Holy water , positively Chi charged Silver locks and so on..


or you can use the right runes, but without a proper arcanist in your group It'll likely not work.

Examination, of course.

Even attempting something like that is catching a tiger by the tail, grabbing the bull by the horns, pulling the frat boy by the yank or whatever metaphor you like. A vampire bite is a one time deal, you dont come back from it, your only escape is death (and probrably by one of your own comrades), I would'nt take the chance of holding it as it will eventually and inevitiably escape and come for you.

We are aware of the difficulties that something like this would involve, which is why I put the question to the experts here. The traditional methods are certainly a part of what we are looking into, but we are looking to acquire an active specimen for study. The issues of preternatural strength and the reputed ability to become a mist are what we are looking to overcome from a physical standpoint. We believe we have a workaround for dealing with the supposed mental powers, but the problem is making the solution man portable and giving it a sufficent power supply.

However, vampires aren't the main drive of our research at the moment, so we can afford to take our time working on it.

well... I know next to nothing about magic--or at least, not enough to be able to work any--but it seems to me some kind of modified circle of protection would be a good bet... if it can keep a vamp out, it can probably keep one in...

then again, that's not exactly man portable, is it?

also, though it's also lacking in portability, I'd think something involving the ever popular phobia of crossing running water might be useful...

I do know a fare amount about magic and I'm pretty sure I could come up with a containment device, but I have no desire to do so right now...

[quote="Ron Caliburn"][b][color=yellow]I don't like gel rounds - they have a tendancy to go splat on the outside rather than get through every time. That's why I use a solid silver penetrator.

That's why you use the DMSO. It absorbes whatever is suspended in it through the skin. Even through clothing scince the kinetics will pass the DMSO through the fabric by velocity.

Ron is - I suspect - a LAW expert, having much experience and success using the LAW.

I was feeling punny.

Well, except for Twinkies and wine and the Gods and some other good things; I agree!

You only say that because you haven't met a cetain ensouled vampire who had a primetime time tv show.

I really can't express how surprised I am that Debunker hasn't called the men in white labcoats on you yet...

If you had to capture a vamp just shove stake through it's heart.
Then you prepare a magic container. Maybe a jar which uses a modified protection circle? Dump the vamp in, seal the jar, and then magic out the stake? Sounds like that might work, better just to kill the vamp, I've heard necromancers can control them but that's just a rumor. I haven't been able to confirm it.....
