The Werewolf. It lurks through our half-remembered nightmares. A creature whose stories make a killing when they hit the box office. It appears to be a man but can transform into a monster. The werewolf is a favorite of horror fans around the world.

In days of old, werewolves dotted the countryside. They killed without remorse and often without memory, leaving those who suffered no way to avenge their loved ones.

The problem with silver mercury is the fact that it would need to be contained in a bullet form until impact. This can be a substantial problem. If the casing is too thin, it will melt on the way out of the barrel. If the casing is too thick, then the silver mercury will not enter the system on contact.
