Dead man's blood on a crossbow bolt incapacitates a vampire long enough for capture or decapitation. The blood is the active countermeasure; the bolt is the delivery system.

Iron tools disrupt ghosts and can hurt or block several other supernatural beings. A fireplace poker or crowbar may look improvised, but the material is doing the real work.

This bomb trap is an episode-specific improvised explosive. Its exact construction and effect remain tied to the governed episode evidence and should not be expanded into a general supernatural rule.

Silver knives and bullets belong to the same material countermeasure family, but their success depends on the creature, the placement of the strike and the rule established for that hunt.

A silver knife can expose or injure beings vulnerable to silver and is also used as a quick identity test. It should never be confused with the demon-killing knife.

This is an internal research placeholder for unidentified episode-level equipment. It is not a public weapon profile.

Dead man's blood is poisonous to vampires. Hunters use it on arrows, in syringes, through restraints and as a barrier, while unusually powerful vampires may require heavier doses or additional containment.

A garrote is a conventional restraint and killing tool, not a universal supernatural weapon. Its value in the archive comes from the specific episode use and the people involved.
