Silver Bullet

A bullet cast in Silver is used in many weapons throughout the Hellsing universe, most notably, The Jackal, one of Alucard's weapons.

In Hellsing
In Hellsing, a bullet cast in Silver is one of the many effective ways to eliminate ghouls and vampires, it is greater than shooting them with any other bullets, or stabbing them in the heart with a wooden stake.

Effectiveness Towards Vampires
It is suggested that in Hellsing, shooting vampires once, or in most cases, twice, is enough to completely disable or eliminate them. Guns like The Jackal and The Casull made by Walter C. Dornez, are good examples, as they use Silver bullets for the bullets, and they appear to work very effectively in exterminating vampires in a single shot, however, in some cases, some vampires or in very rare cases, ghouls, still live.

However, even if Silver Bullets works the best in terms of killing vampires, you don't really need to use a gun that uses silver bullets to eliminate vampires efficiently, as people like Alexander Anderson uses bayonets blessed with Silver to exterminate vampires, doing so nicely, albeit - a bit messy. A wooden stake to the heart also works, although it takes a little longer to completely kill vampires.
