In ancient times silver was revered as a magical element offering protection from evil and good luck to its owner. Silver is identified with the moon and is therefore ideal to slay a creature transformed under the light of the full moon. Eventually this myth expanded to include all "unnatural" creatures of the night, such as vampires, witches, or other monsters. What is most surprising is that the legend has its basis in fact, not fiction. Between 1764 and 1767 in the province Gévaudan in South Central France, over one hundred people were killed, mutilated and partially eaten by a ferocious wolf-like beast. The bloodshed finally ended, on the night of June 19th in 1767, when, as legend has it, Jean Chastel, a local hunter, shot the beast through the heart with a silver bullet he had made himself for this very purpose.

Silver bullets differ from lead bullets in several respects. Lead has a 10% higher density than silver so a silver bullet will have a little less mass than a lead bullet of identical dimensions. Pure silver is less malleable than lead and falls between lead and copper in terms of hardness (2.5 Mohs) and shear modulus (30 GPa). As a result, a silver bullet would have no difficulty accepting the rifling of a gun barrel as both lead and copper are common bullet materials.
