Elves are rather thinned skinned critters - but they travel in packs and shoot back.....

Do you mean the little annoying pointy eared elves from harry potter? The ones with the voice like fingernails on a chalkboard? Considering they can dissapear and reapear at will if you shoot at them you will over penetrate and kill all your neighbors instead. So doesnt matter what you use.

I should think before you could shoot them, you would need a wand and hit them with Petrificus Totalis. Then you just stand them up and use whatever you like. At last, a target suitable for the AR-15....

I don't really follow the Harry Potter stuff...but standard Fair Folk need cold iron weapons to hurt them. That means non-forged, non-heated. Created by raw, human strength. Anyone got an idea for some sort of tap and die process to hammer out rounds? Or maybe a press? - Coeloptera |

I've been favouring FLET--it's like our grandparents flit, except optimized for house elves. You just give the can a pump from behind the elf and it's all yours! The make great possibles bags, to keep or sell. FLET--Forward Launched Elf Toxin--get some today!

Coeloptera-- We could use a hammer punch to bust out bits of sheet metal, then put those into 12 ga shotshells.

Swaging! That's what it's called. Thanks wunhunglo. Like I've said, metalworking is not one of those things I know a lot about. Well heck, RC, you can put anything down a a shotshell. I remember thinking, after watching that movie Sleepwalkers (the monsters could only be harmed by cat scratches) that it'd be easy to go to a pet groomer's, collect claw-clippings, and stuff a shotshell with them. It'd have to be from close range, but it'd sure surprise them. I guess you could also turn out those sabot shotgun rounds with small rods of iron for bigger ones. Considering the relative densities of iron versus lead, performance shouldn't drop off too much. I would also use iron shavings propelled by air (like keyboard cleaner) as a sort of "elf spray". It'd be pretty simple to rig up a sprayer. I would imagine them inhaling it would be pretty bad. Oh! Church bells. Try getting some of those from an old church...not sure if it has to be the steeple ones or if bell choir ones will do. Make sure they're consecrated. Careful though, some elves shoot back. The term "elf shot" doesn't exist for nothing. - Coeloptera |

A Swedish Tumpta is an invisible elf. Usually up to no good, they are little problem however. They create havoc in and around the house. My grandfather brought Tors home in 1968. He lived 38 years with my Grandfather. When he died, he moved in with my Mother. I have been the brunt of several of his jokes since then. He loves tea and knackerbrod, with a little honey. He can pick College football games, and has provided me a tidy sum to add to my eager wages !! Get over it, and make friends !!

You amaze me Steve. Not only are you knowledgable about guns but elves also! "Visible or no??", I wouldn't have thought to ask. If I ever meet one I'll try to make friends. Do they get cold up there? Invisible coats? Thanks for the info!! Tom

I suggest a nice thowing knife. good for long or short range, and you can hit them while they dissapparate. No offense to the memory that wonderfully odd creature, Dobby. |
