Dahlia had made rapid progress with ammunition, though. Bullets were disposable consumables, after all. Making solid silver bullets would affect their ballistic performance because they were too light, but either silver-plating the bullets or embedding lead pellets inside pure silver bullets was simple work that could be done in a garage. It was just a little less efficient.
She had even tried adding silver nitrate to 7.62 mm ammunition, with excellent results. Enhanced by Light of the Heart, the sound and flash were almost on par with a small explosive grenade. But since they could not find any ghosts for the moment, its actual power remained unknown.
While Dahlia researched firearms, Nick was also giving melee weapons some thought.
In theory, a gun was faster beyond ten paces, and both faster and more accurate within ten paces, but that only applied under normal circumstances.
If he encountered something that could teleport or suddenly blink right into his face again, Nick needed some means specifically prepared to handle that sort of situation.
He could not count on Predator technology for now. The Predator Armor and weapons were fine for bullying ordinary people and Wesen creatures, but they were not particularly useful against supernatural monsters.
The main problem was that Nick did not dare casually apply skills to these incredibly sharp melee weapons. After all, the frame of his previous P226 had at least been made of high-quality alloy steel, yet it had disintegrated into powder all over the floor.
If one or two pieces of Predator equipment shattered like that too, he would have nowhere to get replacements, unless he could enter another related movie instance sometime.
For now, Nick's idea was to get himself a suit of "Silver-Thread Soft Armor"-in other words, chain mail made from small rings of pure
