Via columbina [1], “Silver Bullets [2]”

I would prefer to say this link is for Kurt, but seeing how he barely uses
the Intarwebs (I think he checks his email once a month, if that), instead,
I'll direct the link towards his fiancée Amanda [3], who I know will see
this.

The upshot seems to be, forget silver bullets—try silver buckshot instead.
Easier to make and better in close quarters fighting.

And more satisfying to shoot, too.
