    Silver Bomb:
    -Designed and created by Cameron Knight-

    The most used, and the deadliest weapon of the Hunters.

    It is about the size of a ping pong ball, but it is actually a three leveled, extremely deadly device.

    The first layer is simple. A small cloud of silver dust was released upon initial impact, and it was enough to feel like having a large amount of pepper thrown into your face. For a wolf, it got into the mouth, and nose, clouding the senses and making the wolf nearly choke on it.
    The second layer, once broken, released a tiny vial of aconite, which besides burning their skin, also contained a small paralysis ingredient, which allowed, if the impact was hard enough, the third and most deadly layer to be released.
    If the impact against the wolf was hard enough, not only did it release the dust and the aconite, but it then exploded into shards of silver that were very, very sharp, and released with enough force to embed those shards into the skin, and further into the bloodstream, which would then cause a number of problems for the wolf.


    Silver-Bomb Arrow Heads:
    -Designed by Morgyn Knight, Autumn Knight and Cameron Knight-

    Fish Point: Long, barbed or spring-loaded with silver bomb arrowheads that spears wolves and secures itself within their bodies, releasing the silver bomb inside.

    Mechanical (Expandable) Blade Broadhead: Blades are retracted close to the ferrule before the shot. Upon impact, the blades expand to expose the cutting edges. These blades are coated with a layer of pure silver and aconite. Broadheads are usually barbed so that the arrow gets stuck in the animal and won’t fall out easily. It is more likely that the arrow breaks than that the arrow falls out, leaving the tip inside to cause fatal damage.


    Silver Rattan Bo Staff (without skin)
    -Designed by Helena Vanguard-

    The Vanguard rattan bo staff is so different from the standard Japanese bo staffs in that it has great flexibility, and is made with silver, and strong rattan and oak wood. It is super lightweight and really bendy, with just enough of a sharp edge capable of easily cutting the skin, and badly damaging or killing the target. When the user is as fast and deadly as its creator, the results are often horrendous and bloody.

    Specialized Crossbow Bolts
    -Designed by Autumn and Cameron Knight-

    For this, two different types of bolts have been designed. One type is spiral in design, then the other explodes on impact scattering silver dust and aconite powder.

    There are bolts for the crossbows and arrows for her longbow. The bolts and arrows, respectively, are made of black steel, then carefully dipped in pure silver. The spiral edges are meant to drill into the victim. If it doesn't kill them, then pulling it out will take a little chunk of flesh along with it. To add to the brutality, the silver coating is meant to burn werewolves. Following this is the exploding tips. The bolts and arrows, respectively, are meant to splinter once it impacts the target. Once contact is made, the tip releases a combination of silver dust and aconite powder. This is meant to weaken the werewolf enough that it can be taken out by other means. Unless the initial shot was fatal, that is.

    Every Knight and Vanguard projectile weapon include some version of a Silver Bomb, and all of their blades are coated and infused with silver and wolfsbane. All Hunters are proficient in combat, weapons, and most have some kind of firearm, or archery training.
