I find curious the English sentence. A magic bullet! Why a bullet?

Yes, a bit strange, but this has to do because a doctor once said that they needed a "bullet" that could go through a person without killing him, just killing the germs, so it had to be a "magic bullet" A bit like the silver bullet that kills vampires!

Meio-dia -( High Noon) Gary Cooper

Não, bala de prata. ( Will not kill a vampire . Only a Werewolf!

Desculpe, arrumei meu português.( Above edit )

Opa! Certo! Você tem razão!

I had this image in my mind, from Matrix Reloaded, where Persephone (Monica Bellucci) is accompanied by Morpheus, Trinity and Neo because she is taking them to set free the Keymaker. They go into a backroom, where two guys are guarding the entrance to the underground cells; once they enter, both stand up and then, after Persephone makes a brief speech explaining that not many people carry silver bullets in their guns, she proceeds to kill one of the guys with one.

Now that I think about it, it was never said that the two guys were vampires (they were just "notoriously difficult to terminate"), however, they were watching a vampire movie, so I guess this is why I thought that silver bullets actually worked with vampires

Just in case, I did my homework

Silver bullets are for werewolves, not vampires! Anne Rice confirms

Eu tinha essa imagem em minha mente, de Matrix Reloaded, onde Persephone é acompanhada por Morpheus, Trinity e Neo porque ela os está levando para libertar o Keymaker. Eles vão para uma sala dos fundos, onde dois caras estão guardando a entrada das celas subterrâneas; assim que eles entram, ambos se levantam e então, após Persephone fazer um breve discurso explicando que poucas pessoas carregam balas de prata em suas armas, ela começa a matar um dos caras com uma.

Agora que penso nisso, nunca foi dito que os dois caras eram vampiros (eles eram apenas "notoriamente difíceis de eliminar"), no entanto, eles estavam assistindo a um filme de vampiro, então acho que é por isso que pensei que balas de prata realmente trabalhou com vampiros.

Excelente! Quem não gosta de um bom duelo de faroeste... embora eu tenha a tendência de imaginá-los ao pôr do sol
