I heard somewhere that iron'll kill leprechauns. But you don't want to shoot that unless its' saboted.

Cold forged iron is useful against any type of fey creature. By cold forged, I mean having been pounded into shape without being heated. It's also useful against some demons... or is it devils? hmm... where's my monster manual? 
Anyways, I think I'd trust cold iron headed arrows more than a rough pounded sabot... although maybe you could have it milled... hmmm
Much to think on.
How would one go about having some oak shotgun slugs made?

I'd say turn 'em on a lathe. It'd be a lot less iffy than whittling 'em out. Thing is, are we talking old fashioned Foster slugs or sabots? If it's Fosters you'd have to mark the rifling cuts and cut 'em in with a Dremel.
Right... but with the sabots, you'd pound out the rough blanks, them put them on a lathe and slick 'em up so they balance and fly right.
Cold forged iron arrowheads wouldn't be a problem to make. Make 'em a really pointy three-sided deal...
*sigh*
Why not get a customised pistol in .454, and just for backup, get a really cute partner with a 30mm cannon?
And you're the only one that mentioned this particular bit?
Rocking awesome series, and the books are even better. Gotta love vampire and werewolf Nazis... and how thoroughly they get put through the grinder.
That author has a serious mili-fetish going on. Can't wait for the new anime to come out.
As I recall, only catching the beast while it sleeps in its coffin, then taking off the head and burning it separately from the body will destroy it.
Then there are the MD weapons- I hear silver-plated rounds out of a railgun do rather well, but god forbid you let them get close enough to put dents in your armor. That stuff COSTS to get fixed.
So far as 'real' vampires go... I heard a rather terrifying account on CtCAM from a Catholic priest about his encounter with what he believed to be a vampire. Not a physical being, oh no... nothing so tangible. More like a demonic force, floating around in the shape of a fog near a graveyard at twilight. Nothing you're going to do against that, faith and prayer is your only hope.

Is it wrong to get firearms blessed so that they may do only His bidding?
Just asking, is all...

three pages.......
devoted to this???????

Yes ezypikns, this.
Three pages are nothing. We have hundreds on zombies. Vampires just aren't as great of a threat.
As for werewolves, well, they're downright easy when one acts up.
Truth is, is that the vampire and werewolves mostly know the rules, so we don't need to do anything, but the bloody zombies don't know enough not to go around chewing on people.

look, zombies may come about because of a mutated rabies virus or some such, but vampires are real. they wear pocket protectors and work for the government.

I'm not sure, but IIRC I've seen pictures of crusaders having their swords blessed.

I'm stocking up on the wooden training rounds for my 1894 6.5mm mauser. So I'm covered out to 200 yds. I bet I could find some wooden beads at a crafts store for the shotgun for the close up work or maybe some small wooden dowles cut to size and a pencil sharpener action for flechettes.

You guys seem to be forgetting that these unholy bloodsuckers can FLY.You wouldn't go skeet shooting with a rifle or handgun,don't risk your neck with one either.Get a good dependable shotgun (Mossberg 590 with bayonet would be nice) and load it up with #6 shot,soaked in garlic,with a few silver #4's among the rest.That way if they go batty you can still be effective against the spawn of Satan.Possibly you could coat the bayo blade with silver and garlic too,or maybe replace it with cold forged iron.Hmmm,back to the workshop.

Someone else can run the search but what I recall about the cold forged stuff was that it took actual working of the metal to make it into a substance that could do away with evil.
Same goes for the patina stuff mentioned, though I am thinking more of damascus type blades since they are made from folding the metal I believe and it is once again the working of the metal that takes it from being something that won't do the job to something that will do the job.
If you research some of the old times they often get into how a material was worked and back then I believe most items were done the hard way because that was the best technology they had back then.
That happens to be all I recall from writing paper in high school on dracula, it was some big senior paper and the bram stokers dracula movie was just coming out about that time and there was all sorts of info everywhere on this sort of subject.
