Did they really use silver bullets?

At on point in time, most people made there own ammunition.  If you need the ammo enough, you use any available metal.

Sure why not?\n\nDensity of Lead\n11.4g/cm^3\n\nDensity of Silver\n10.4g/cm^3\n\nConclusion:\nA silver bullet would have slightly inferior ballistics.\n\n\n\nMelting Point Lead\n327.5ºC\n\nMelting Point Silver\n962ºC\n\nConclusion:\nIt would be much more difficult to cast silver bullets.\n\n10 troy oz. 0.999 fine silver (10-40 bullets worth) ≈$150.00\n\nHardness is not really an issue as silver is harder than lead.

If I'm being shot at, I wont the best bullet money can buy, If you think using cheep bullets is a good Idle, then why don't you show them how great it is to get in a fire fight with a bullet that may or may not work.

You mean a hollow-point .357 Magnum lead bullet?  I haven't seen these since the late Sixties.  They were solid lead bullets with a hollow point (kind of like the .22 Long Rifle hollow point bullets).  They quit making these in .357 Magnum because the caliber is too intense.  It generates too much heat expelling the bullet and melted lead tends to coat the interior of the barrel and splatter all over the cylinder face (shooter's hands in minute but toxic amounts) making the gun less accurate as the lead builds up in the barrel, more likely to jam as the lead coats the cylinder face and way harder to clean.  \n\nIf you are going to shoot lead "un-jacketed" hollow point bullets in a .357 Mag, one:  use shooting gloves; two:  wear shooting glasses; three:  thoroughly scrub and clean your revolver after wards to maintain accuracy and shoot-ability.  NOTE:  These hollow point lead bullets usually had what was called a 'gas-check,' a metal disk at the base of the bullet intended to keep the lead from clinging to the barrel.  However, I have always been skeptical about how useful this tiny disk was; I guess it is better than nothing.\n\nH

uhm hate to burst all your bubbles but if you go to this link you will find out its not at all a big mystery. it makes sense and yes it had a life boat and yes it was used. these other fictions were done by various writers the actual records of event are discussed here\nhttp://www.maryceleste.net/part2.htm

This is a persistent rumor that has only a slight basis in fact.  In the Mercury and Gemini space flights and all Russian space flights prior to 1968 lead pencils were used.\n\nAn entrepreneur named Paul Fisher spent over a million dollars creating the pen of his own volition. NASA never requested that he do so.  Once he had perfected his pen, he sent samples to NASA for them to evaluate. NASA eventually decided the pen was a good fit for the space program and ordered 400 of them at a price of $2.95 each, a grand total of $1,180.\n\nAll of the research costs were carried by Mr. Fisher who recouped his expenses by selling the Space Pen to the public.  NASA and the U.S. Government never paid a penny of the research costs, only for the finished product.\n\nOn a side note, the Russian Space program also used the Fisher Space Pen.

Hmm. Tough one. Since I don't think Mr & Mrs. Smith used garlic bullets or silver for anything...I think the undead may take the cake on that one.

Nope, there were three shots and two hits.  First shot misses, not surprising since Oswald is nervous and on edge.  After the first shot the recoil strikes his shoulder, he hears the rifle crack and his Marine Corp training takes over.  The second shot hits President Kennedy high in the back and passes through into Governor Connally, forget that nonsense about a "magic" bullet since the two men line up perfectly, in a Lincoln limo and not a Cadillac as is usually used in the conspiracy books, and Oswlad was using full metal jacket ammo so the bullet would have maximum penetration and wouldn't be inclined to deform.  The third shot, which is actually the easiest shot since the limo was traveling slightly down hill and almost directly away from Oswald, no leading the target, strikes President Kennedy in the head.  The motion of his head snapping back is proof that the round came from behind although those who know nothing of wound pathology or physics seem to think otherwise.  Three shots, two hits.  \n\nThe claim that four shots were recorded from an open police motorcycle microphone was popular for a time and even fooled a house committee.  Only later did someone notice that there are no sirens to be heard on the recoding.  Moments after the shooting every police siren was sounding as the motocade raced to the hospital.  Where ever that police motorcycle with the open microphone was that day, probably the site of the speach that President Kennedy was going to give, it wasn't in Dealy Plaza.  \n\nI'm afarid it's not a very popular or exciting answer but then again, the truth is seldom considered to be either.

yea, it pretty much does. The army came into manhatten in NYC and started shooting their machine gun from a humvee, they also shot this bazooka kinda thing. But they would never do that in real life, because they can't just shoot off weapons in a big city.

Essentially, blanks are the regular cartridge, but instead of the shell (the pointy bit, otherwise known as the bullet), there is a round circle of cardboard.  The gun still fires as usual, but is much lighter (how arnold can shoot a big gun with one hand).  In theory, the cardboard should be burned and harmless, but for the first second or so, it's still dangerous.  So, it's a yes and no.  If you're wearing proper protective gear and are more than a foot from the person who's firing at you, you should be fine.  \n\nAn aside: A bullet has three main parts, the shell (the one that kills people) the cartridge (what holds the gunpowder) and a starter (what the hammer hits and what ignites the gunpowder).  For hollywood, if they show somebody loading bullets into a gun, they use bullets with deactivated starters, no gunpowder and regular shells.  Then, for firing, they use blanks.\n\nI would say that you should express your concern to whoever is running the wargames and see what they say.  they could be using a special setup, i don't know.  \n\nI know that was complicated, but best of luck!\n\n-Belril

It's possible that military contracts are eating into supply. I did read that the DoD did farm out some ammo contracts to meet demand. Usually all military ammo comes from the Lake City Arsenal.
