Jul 7, 2008 - silver bullets just sounded cool when they made the show. its not like the lone ranger people actually went out and tested it vs lead

Jul 7, 2008 - Silver? Lead? I refill my rounds with depleted uranium.

cqbhoun Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Internet fool of course they did. They had loads of different materials and chose silver because of its added warewolf capabilities.

Jul 7, 2008 - oh.... i see

DamienNeverwinter Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Werewolf capability is essential. There are a lot of them around these days

irvinyork Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The silver round didn't penetrate as well because they were using bullistics gell instead of werewolves.

qrst1011 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - the reason the lone ranger used silver bullets was to pay the under taker

ShadowHunta Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - A HA HA HA. . .that's great

824DWP Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I actually saw the scene from the lone ranger were he first decided to use silver bullets it was to hurt them,but not kill them. 1.Ever heard of lead poisoning. 2.This backs it up not as far penetration so less likely to hit internal organs the first consept of non-letal weapons.

Jul 7, 2008 - looks like a stetson.

dragonboyjgh Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Lone Ranger used silver bullets cuz there were werewolves in the wild west, DUUUHHH...!

Jul 7, 2008 - he used silver bullets as a symbol. He also never shot to kill. I went over that in the pilot of the original series.

profittlich Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - that mythbuster with the weird mustache always reminds me of DR zoidberg :)

magpiegg Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - werewolves arent real retards, they just said silver killed them so that the poor people got scared cuz they didnt have any

doorhandleman Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I dont like the american narator, i prefer the english one!

zaggs5 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yeah, the lone ranger shot people with silver bullets, not lead, because he never shot to kill, and he knew that lead bullets would poison, so he shot people with non-poisoning silver bullets instead.

Jul 7, 2008 - lead poisoning only occurs when some one consumes the lead and it gets lodged in the liver

Rubberman47 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - moron

seravok Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - uranium bullets... I'd like that :P

McWolfcastle Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - you dont need to consume it,and it BUILDS UP in the liver

cybermecium Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Lead worked better because of the weight and also the fact that the silver bullet didn't seal in the barrel or the cartridge was a big loss of energy. It might work well if the bullet weight was better matched to the load of powder and if it had a better seal.
