• some tips on often overlooked weaponry

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2005 3:41 am**

Hello all, I am new here and thought that I might assist with the little knowledge of weaknesses I can offer. Please forgive my typing as well, english is not my best language yet.

The weapons I am suggesting have proven useful over the years thanks to trial and error.

The first weapon I would suggest seems simple enough but is in fact quite deadly to fae and etheral beings. A simple rail road spike made of cold iron. Wrap the end in leather and you have a very effective weapon.

Older katana's are often times more then they appear. I cannot gaurentee this weapon as each is diffrent but many will surprise you if they are five hundred years and older. My Datio is around seven and is remarkable.

Inscense burners. I speak of the kind you could carry with you on a chain and burn, the exact type of incense I will not say as I am not able to .. function very well around many of the scents. This type of weapon will cause sickness and pain in a great many types of creatures.

I hope these help? I am not sure if this is the right place to place this...

Good luck in your hunts. Be sure of your prey, not everything is evil.

Inari, while your thoughts are always appreciated, I would hope you realize that you are not only condoning making weaponry out of basic tools and items, but that you are suggesting we use them.

Being as the supernatural is pure malarkey, your encouraging the readers to harm those they believe that are "evil" or "possessed" or demon's in disguise or something else just as outrageous!

I've said it time and time again; this hogwash that keeps getting posted is going to your heads people! Writing like this is going to get innocent people hurt! Its one thing to write your make believe stories and tall tales, but writing and encouraging us to make weapons with the intention of using them on monsters (or worse, against actual people) is pure lunacy! Reconsider what your saying and get some professional help!

I think what you are talking about is a censer a useful device in the right hands and with the right incense.
Pay no mind to some, Inari I for one thank you for the input.The Katana you have sounds like a true find I wish I could see it.

Thank you Shadowstalker, I am not condoning the use on innocents by the way. Simply offering ideas for any who would listen.

Yes my swords are quite special, they have been with me for a very very long time.

Hello again all, I recently had to pick up some firearms due to an .. unfortunate incident I was involved in. One purchase stands out in my mind though as quite possiably the most devistating handgun I have ever used.

The s&w 500 model. If your looking for a weapon that can stop pretty much anything. This is your gun. Its costly and kicks worse then shotguns but a direct hit.. well.. there will be red mist left.

Unfortunately, large calibre handguns are actually not all that good for what we do. Beleive me on this, I sell, repair and modify guns for a living and I will do my best to talk myself out of a sale if someone tries to get a S&W 500 or a Desert Eagle for home defence or any other combat related purpose.

Large calibre handguns like the S&W 500 are best suited to handgun hunters who are allready quite skilled in delivering that highly accurate first shot kill on big game. If you're an average shooter, you won't have the control required to make that first shot a killing shot and the recoil means that you probably won't get a second shot on target.

Unless size and portability are of primary importance, a good shotgun is just as powerful, easier to use, generates less felt recoil and in the hands of an average shooter is more accurate. Plus there is a great number of special purpose rounds available for use with shotguns that just aren't there for the large calibre handguns.

So take my advice, unless you are allready well trained in their use, stay away from the .50/s and the .44 Magnums. If you need a high powered pistol, look .357.

Personally, I recomend a high cap auto in the 9mm - 45 size and a 12 guage pump with atleast 5 rounds in the tube for the average monster hunter. A good .30-06 is handy too, but only if you expect long range engagements.

The real specialists can pull of the fancy junk, but if you're new, I suggest sticking with the weapons that are the easiest to use and maintain.

I agree with what your saying. I speak from the perspective of someone for who weight and recoil mean nothing. These guns are quite tough to control I would imagine if one was inexperienced.

All I have to say on this subject, is that I like my 9mm handguns (yes, more then one), and I miss my Uzi.
