Silver bullets are for werewolves!
For vampires, try oak bullets (aim to heart place) or remnants of the True
Cross (hard to find) or freezed garlic (hard to lathe) ;-)

And remember that you need also something sharp (easy to model in Wings3D)
to cut off the head (Poser is the right place to look) in order to finish
the job properly. Watch out for gushing blood (POV macro). It ruins clothes
(look at ContentParadise)!

Silver is no good against vampires, it's for lycantropes.
For vampires, try holy water, woden stake, beheading, burning to ashes
and soaking those ashes in holy water, crosses, garlic, true sunlight.
Also, puting the vampire on a tiny island in the middle of a river is
interesting, as they can't cross running water. Be sure that that river
won't freeze over, or the vampire will be able to walk on the ice.

True Cross fragments hard to find? It's been said that there are enough True
Cross fragments across Europe to build a city block (or something like that).

One wonders why there are still so many vampires around....

I stand corrected in all aspects: Not only was I wrong about the
material of the projectile in this case, but also about that of the
casing; according to the description of the image, it is actually not
brass, but rather steel.
And no, I don't think the material you used for the case looks
particularly pastic-ish.

As they are said to be able to transform into bats, I guess they might
be able to fly across such bodies of water...

Vampires suck.

Not acording to my sources, even transformed into bat, they apparently,
still can't fly over running water. Standing water don't bother them.
And, in the case of runing water, if there is anything they can pass
over, bridge, tree branches, even a string, it may enable them to cross.

This reminds me of a bit in an old comedy movie, "Old Dracula", with David Niven as
Dracula. He
was flying (by plane, at night, of course) from Europe to the US. His seat-mate
happened to ask
him if this was the first time he'd flown. David (Dracula) answered, "No, I've flown
many times
before. Never by plane, though."

Just as an image, bullets do hold a grim fascination. I am never quite
sure why
