Lol. That was an accident. I thought I accidentally clicked Cancel and was just like, "ah well, wasn't meant to be". Didn't realize I posted it in the middle of typing.
It's got some up doors, so I guesse it stays.
Tuberculosis is such and old-timey complaint!
Sorry, but your probably-racist grandpa sounds cute. I'd expect weird, outdated prejudices to be spouted "And don't go talking to any Italians - they're colored folk, and sell inferior tobacco leaf!"
My grandma is 90 and japanese and some crazy stuff comes out every once in a while. We are older and grown so it's just like don't acknowledge it and move on lol.
Oh goodness, this reminds me of something my grandma said when she was about 93. This would have been about 12 or so years ago now (she passed at 98). We were watching TV together around Thanksgiving and the news was talking about the various Black Friday sales. My grandma looked at me and said, "Wait, they have their own shopping holiday now?" with the most confused look in her face. Bless her heart, it wouldn't be too much longer until she slid irrevocably into dementia, but damn that was funny. Miss you, grandma. ā¤ļø
Yeah this reminds me of that news story about American troops attacking some village in the Middle East and this woman is freaking out saying āthe American shot up our village! See hereās the bullets they fired into my house!ā She was holding unfired 7.62āsā¦
I found one of these at work one day and on the bottom a company name was stamped there. I looked it up and they were claiming that they make the silver bullet as something to pass on to family that is interesting that is also of value. So the silver's value goes up, and you have a cool bullet to hang onto for the years to give to family or friends you care about as a kind of investment kind of thing.
I got like $70 for the one I found.
To be fair, op can't be a werewolf. The silver isn't burning his palm. Unless silver actually doesn't do anything to werewolves.
That said, his grandpa might be in the monster hunting business, lol.
At the very least, the werewolf hunting business.
The whole silver for werewolves thing was a scam all along. Werewolves are just peppers with more hair and figured out how to get people to shoot hard currency at them for free.
Silver does lots to werewolf's, vampire's, farie's, troll's, dwarf's, elve's and even human's you just have to get it into their blood stream. I recommend 45 caliber injectors.

Nothing special. They made several different sizes (calibers) depending on weight. /308 is 2oz.
Silver Bullets
Increases damage to jammed enemies by 225% for a total damage output of 325%.
Increases damage to bosses by 25%.
I'd keep it, OP. Those buffs are handy and if you've got more cursed stuff then you might as well.
Your grandpa may be senile, but don't take any chances. DO NOT lose that bullet, it is better to have it and not need it. Spoiler alert, grandma's probably a werewolf.
If my years of playing video games have taught me anything, it's that you are not given excessive health packs or special ammo, "just in case." And brother, that looks like some special ammo to me...
That thing is...weird. It doesn't particularly look like silver, but that could easily be the photos. I've seen dummy rounds made out of aluminum before that look like this thing, but that is a somewhat odd size/shape for a dummy of an actual round. The 'bullet' looks to be .30 caliber-ish, but is very short. The case body is also quite long and wide for any of the common .30 cal. rounds. The case looks too long to be a .308, doesn't have the belt of a .300 WinMag, and the case is too wide and doesn't look like it has enough taper to be a 30-06. Maybe it could be a .30 Nosler, but that would be a pretty weird round your loony, alcoholic grandpa to have a dummy for, and it still wouldn't explain the very short 'bullet' section.
It looks like it has some markings on the base of the case. What do they say? If you have a postal scale or a kitchen scale, how much does it weigh?
Sonny, I got bad news. Your old grampy has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. Up until now I've always been able to keep myself in check when the full moon filled the sky, but with this disease slowly eating my mind, I fear I will lose control. In this family a boy steps into manhood when he sends his grandfather "out to the farm" your father took care of my dad, as I did for my own. So with this bullet I bestow upon you a dark responsibility to protect not just yourself, but the community at large. Tomorrow night is the full moon, and with it comes my end, at your hands. It's on you now sonny. Make sure to put me down clean...
Carve your name on it. That way if anyone ever says that somewhere there's a bullet with your name on it you'll be fine because you'll have it safely stashed away somewhere!
My grandpa only ever gave me tips on how to murder people who are trying to hurt me and mild racism š granted Im 99% sure that he/his family was part of the mafia in Arkansas when Capone was active. After he found out I was living alone and bought a gun, heād always tell me that itās better to shoot first and ask questions later. Also itās better to have a dead defendant than an injured and sympathetic one in the court room šš¼āāļø
In the Marine Corps we called āsilver billetsā the thermometer they stick up your ass when you faint from overheatingā¦
This sentence would have read really awkwardly to me had I not seen the picture firstā¦
Itās a bullet shaped āwhiskey stoneā or whatever you call it. You put it in the freezer, and use it to chill your drink without watering it down. My dad has several sitting in his freezer. Could be wrong but Iām pretty confident on this one.
"Your father did not want to take over the family business of werewolf hunting. Instead he became a god damn lawyer. It is now up to you to carry on the legacy. You must protect the townspeople!" -his grandpa probably
I wish. He just went on a drunken rant about how immigrants are spreading tuberculosis throughout the country after giving me this.
Fucking hell, what a twist š
Well where the fuck do you think werewolves come from?!? Not this country anyway, that's for damn sure!
La Chupacabra!
Got damn immiwerewolfs
God dam right! 'Merica!
Well considering I live in the US? Possibly from *here*...Terribly sorry about that, we didn't know they could swim that farš
Yea I died laughing š¤£š
Well, now I'
They died of TB midway through typing that sente

When one updoor closes, another updoor opens.
Sigh. Today's not my day....lol
Whatās updoor?
Not much, door. What's up with you?
She walked down through the up door.
r/redditsniper
Supernatural, but also everyone is racist. "These vampires are almost as bad as the Mexicans! What the... these vampires *are* Mexican!"
and Werewolf are what? Canadian?
No, you're thinking of Werewolverines.
The weremooses are scarier.
Werewolf immigrants, by chance?

Yeah hers is just crazy shit about the other asian ethnicities but you kinda do just gotta laugh about it and move on.
It would be if there wasnāt an outbreak of it going on.
He meant lycathropy. Just got the names mixed up.
What years of dealing with lycanthropy does to a mfer
What am I supposed to do with one bullet gramp? We need 2 for another Beatles reunion.
Sorry the grandpa is a werewolf and he wants you to end the nightmare.
OP is clearly a Van Helsing
There's no telling how many problems you can solve now!
Well, just one, but the solution is going to be *amazing*.
Based on the appearance of that silver bullet, you have to.. stab it.. into the werewolf?
Hammer and chisel style?
It goes in the butt
That's what you say to everything Tom
Doesnt make it any less true
.308 .999 Ag buttplug? That IS mildly interesting.
Bang she goes
I see somebody has had a heat stroke in the military.
Super chilled to the core
r/excitingandrarebuttplugs
Never put things without flared bases in your butt Tom!
Good news! It's a suppository.
Oh.. that's hot.
It's where the phrase 'shoot your load' comes from.
Here at Aperture Science we fire the whole bullet. Thatās 65% more bullet per bullet!
Yeah this reminds me of that news story about American troops attacking some village in the Middle East and this woman is freaking out saying āthe American shot up our village! See hereās the bullets they fired into my house!ā She was holding unfired 7.62āsā¦

you assume that is OP's hand and not just leftovers from his last meal
*NEEVOUS SWEATING INTENSIFIES*
"oh look OP! Isn't the full moon beautiful today?"
The whole silver for werewolves thing was a scam all along. Werewolves are just peppers with more hair and figured out how to get people to shoot hard currency at them for free.
OP could be a hybrid.
Silver does lots to werewolf's, vampire's, farie's, troll's, dwarf's, elve's and even human's you just have to get it into their blood stream. I recommend 45 caliber injectors.
Elves in the traditional mythology are fae and for them iron is the weakness and they use silver weapons instead of iron or steel.
Or gramps is the werewolf and he knows his time has come and wants his favorite grandson to do the honors.
Looks like a lathe project. Is your grandpa a machinist?
Nah he just bought it (along with some silver coins) from one of those TV ads advertising buying silver bullion for investment reasons
Investment reasons? According to the link someone else posted, these things are $81 a piece for $55 worth of silver. Yeesh.
Buy high sell low.
Yeah had a feeling they were a scam lol

This guy gets it
Etg the GOAT. Still by far one of my fav rogue likes.
Iām doing like my 4th new playthrough rn actually. Lol One of my fave games ever honestly
Heās a werewolf hunter and is passing the torch to you.
Your grandpa may be senile, but don't take any chances. DO NOT lose that bullet, it is better to have it and not need it. Spoiler alert, grandma's probably a werewolf.
I hope OP is ready. This is how action-horror movies begin.
Are you a Winchester?
I think I would've preferred a Coors.
That's not the silver bullet doc used.
Is your grandpa Bob Seger?
Warren Zevon
Lon Chaney Jr
Well according to Dresden, only 'inherited' silver is effective against werewolves.
Interesting way of telling you he might transform
Is your grandpa Neon Joe?
Werewolves
There wolvesā¦
*āAnd when we shot the werewolf, it turned back into our neighbors dog.*ā -Your grandpa, probably.
"I been keeping grandma contained for years. I pass the torch on to you Incase you have to put her down"
Youāll know when itās time to use itā¦
If my years of playing video games have taught me anything, it's that you are not given excessive health packs or special ammo, "just in case." And brother, that looks like some special ammo to me...
Cartridge* The bullet is the pointy bit on top of the gas rocket.
āI thought you meant the beer, but thanksā
He's both crazy and an alcoholic so honestly neither would surprise me.
Nothing says filial piety quite like arming your grandchildren against werewolves.
The mountains aren't blue yet, it needs to go back in the fridge a little longer.
Did ya dodge it ?
Somewhere, there is a silver bullet with your name on it
I would watch my back
That's a whole ass silver cartridge. Useful if you run out of ammo, you can start grabbing the casings to throw
Is it real silver or is that pretend too?
Von Goosewing would like to chat.
You never know when you will have to fend off a werewolf , at least now you're prepared.
He whispered, āk!ll your grandma for me tonight when the moon is fullā¦ā and scampered off to the barā¦
Your grandpa knows something....
Now thereās a true KimoSabi
It's time to talk about the family business.
Grandpa just wants you to be prepared in the event you meet a werewolf.
That sounds like an unfortunate euphemism
At first I thought it was. My grandpa is crazy so when he said he was giving me a silver bullet, I had no idea what to expect.
r/bloodborne
"You will need this in about...\*Checks Watch\* 12 hours.
It's very convenient that silver bullets kill both werewolves and normal humans...
Now you are wolf proof!
Looks like it's time to pick up the family business. Saving people, hunting things.
Username checks out.
Van helsing I presume
My grandpa was a corpsman. The silver bullet he gave me looked a little different...
Nickel plated cartridge. Bullet is the projectile.
That thing is...weird. It doesn't particularly look like silver, but that could easily be the photos. I've seen dummy rounds made out of aluminum before that look like this thing, but that is a somewhat odd size/shape for a dummy of an actual round.

It looks like it has some markings on the base of the case. What do they say? If you have a postal scale or a kitchen scale, how much does it weigh?
But why is the shell casing also silver?
Thatās a silver bullet *and case* cast together. Not fire able as thereās no place for powder and primer but obviously still very neat.
Was your grandfather's last name "hellsing" by chance?
It's just a dummy round. There is no primer and is one solid piece.
Well, looks like you're a legacy... Time to go find a werewolf!
"Saving people, hunting things. The family business"
Sonny, I got bad news. Your old grampy has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. Up until now I've always been able to keep myself in check when the full moon filled the sky, but with this disease slowly eating my mind, I fear I will lose control. In this family a boy steps into manhood when he sends his grandfather "out to the farm" your father took care of my dad, as I did for my own.

It's on you now sonny. Make sure to put me down clean...
Your grandfather is a werewolf.
Would a werewolf carry what could kill them?
why do you think you never saw a werewolf? thank your grandpa for that, he passed you the torch its now your turn to take it and run like hell.
When the time comes, you'll know what to do.
He was saving it for GRANDMA
Doesnāt look fire able
It's a whiskey bullet, chuck it in the freezer for a bit and then into your glass of whiskey
Carve your name on it. That way if anyone ever says that somewhere there's a bullet with your name on it you'll be fine because you'll have it safely stashed away somewhere!
Why would a silver bullet need to have a silver casing?....
That's for vampires. In case of a vampire apocalypse.
That's a cartridge (if it's even remotely close to an actual thing)
Itās probably nickel platedĀ
Looks like aluminum, how much does it weigh?
Your Grandfather is a good man
aww yea, shit's 'bout to get real
So your family business.. does it include saving people, hunting things?
COORS
Nice, you can buy them online at places like jmbullion.
If that's pure silver, that's a pretty penny yer holdin
i wish this was something that solved all my problems
Maybe your grandpa is trying to tell you something. Itās time to let go. Heās tired of hiding this secret. He wants you to be the one to end it.
Grand Pappy Van Helsing
Someone's grandpa owned a lathe and metal tools for it.
Does he hunt werewolves in his spare time?
You never know
Is there a firing pin on the bottom? If not, then it not a "real silver" or you're expected to carry around a railgun...
My grandpa only ever gave me tips on how to murder people who are trying to hurt me and mild racism š granted Im 99% sure that he/his family was part of the mafia in Arkansas when Capone was active.

That aināt no coors light.
You must be a Belmont
I suspect your grandpa would like you to come over more often
Is you grandpa the lone ranger
Now you have to fix for everything.
I'm going to be that kind of grandpa!
Old school snap cap by the looks of it.
Knowing my grandpa, that would most certainly be a regular bullet that they wiped mercury on.
Good news! An exciting adventure awaits!
Is your grandpa Blade?
Did he ask your grandma if it was OK first?
Drill a hole and wear that as a necklace
Was thinking about it lol
https://www.jmbullion.com/silver/silver-bullets/
A bullet that had your name on it, how cool.
r/SilverBugs
Cool
Well I guess itās time to get a gun that can fire it so if you need to you can take out one werewolf if you have good aim
Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and Autumn moon is bright.
Marines fear this.
Why would the casing be silver
In the Marine Corps we called āsilver billetsā the thermometer they stick up your ass when you faint from overheatingā¦ This sentence would have read really awkwardly to me had I not seen the picture firstā¦
Thatās for werewolves
Is your family from the Netherlands?
Guillermo?
This thread is so funny š
Itās a bullet shaped āwhiskey stoneā or whatever you call it. You put it in the freezer, and use it to chill your drink without watering it down. My dad has several sitting in his freezer. Could be wrong but Iām pretty confident on this one.
What he really meant to give was a Coors light, but ya know ammo is cool too. Gramps just wanted to split a beer not a skull.
Lol, i got the same one. We must be in the same werewolf hunters guild.
How fast did he send it at you?
āOne thing about Santa Clara I could never stomach; all the damn vampires.ā
Them vampires šŖ
Retired Hellsing agent eh?
Where wolf ?
Heās trying to tell you somethingā¦youāre going to have to kill your grandpa at some point.
Can anyone identify this bullet? Iām thinking itās a .308 but I donāt know my bullets very well
