Magic bullets

Yeah:  once a magical expert gets with a good armorer, the humans are gonna really shock some of the supernaturals.

I have the strong suspicion that the Librarians have already done this...

The propellant in the case has a surprising small amount of kinetic energy - an actual 9 mm bullet is under a third of an ounce. Even Harry's 44 is about a half ounce.

Yeah, the movies mislead most people about the kinetic energy transfer of the bullet (i blame actors, I am with Drax on this) Jim gets this right with Harry’s shield and Duster. The rings absorb kinetic energy from normal movement, they just need to ride around in a pocket for long enough. Speedier recharge is the punching bag.

Murphy referenced steel jacketed bullets in Wild Card dealing with the Lea level Wildfae Puck (a proto Nameless).

The modified Ghoul killers would expand their force in all directions once penetrating causing the ghoul to “pop”

Mab can survive a steel jacked bullet by removing the bullet, she will regenerate from that. Iron filings would take way longer to remove, which is why I suggest them, together with a ghoul killer, disperse them into her body. I am sure Kincaid has long been thinking along these lines, like Mr Teatime in the Discworld, he has plan for everyone, as he demonstrated with Harry.

Now that’s a horrifying thought, what if Kincaid is now working for the Library of Congress? He has experience of working with an Archive.

This is why the other nations fear humanity, if we wed our technology with magic and our numbers they are doomed. Imagine a claymore with magic Fae seeking projectiles. The Fae do.

A hollowpoint cavity could have a steel or silver bead dropped into it and epoxied into place making them deadly to weres or fae.

Why glue steel? Buy AP rounds. Steel already installed. the Fae have been known to wear armor too. Silver maybe.

Harry, with a reloading press, making bullets... and popping them into a centrifuge to power them up with some kinetic energy? Wonder how long a shelf life for the extra KE.

Pull iron filings out of a body with a rare earth magnet? Would hurt like heck, but she'd heal.

Conspiracy Theorist:
And it would take time.

Ed0517:
extraction? Some time, but if you get enough flux, not too much. It would hurt more, but Mab is a tough b1tch. She'd likely thank you for doing it as fast as possible, so long as you at least tried to keep the pain/disability at a minimum
