That's funny Prof. Xuanwu. But if it DID go that way It'd have to be Erin popping out of the cake.
*ROFL* yep i would exspect that :p would be funny to see the reaction :D
You know the thing I find funny is that since she's suppose to be a Baobhan Sith wouldnt it be Iron or steel bullets needed to take her out? Since the Baobhan Sith are Faerie or Sidhe (shee) I dont know why it's spelled Sith...even if it's pronounced the same way, I don't speak gaelic. But It's Iron that's suppose to be the only metal that harms the sidhe.

And I'm thinking because Silver would be the metal of the moon, and of the goddess Dannu which is what the Sidhe are suppose to be. The Tuatha De Dannan or the people of the Goddess Danu.
wow now that is some good information right there. never knew that so... thanks ;)
When it comes to obscure mythos well...that's my forte.
Man, that makes me feel I should have gone into school and studied to be a cryptozoologist....or at least got a theology and mythology major. But instead I got married...and I'm poor...and as a student I'd never be able to afford to provide for my family AND go to school. *le sigh*
my forte is Weapons and balistics as a hobby and have some fair skills in metal works. care to help design a steel bullet for alucard for this special accation? :P

*laughs like a farmer with a sore tooth*


BTW: sorry for the badly translated dutch figure of speech.

i just have broken my foot. and its hurting like mad now. but i still keep smilling like nothing happened :p

its times like this that i wish to be a Vampire so i could just regenerate as i hate the doctors. and i only visit if i can like: walk with me head onder my arms so to speak :p

I wonder if Pip would try to blame Walter... or maybe no one knows that Walter told Pip to do the entertainment, so maybe everyone thinks all of this was Walter's doing! XD

Uh Oh then.

On another note, I'm surprised Pip hasn't started running yet.

No head start would spare him the wrath of Integra. It still wouldn't hurt though.

I think that the metal knife that Integra has is just right to stab the baobhan sith in the heart.

Hmmmm I always recall it being cold wrought iron that was a bane to fairies so a ordinary kitchen knife might not do it, but then knowing the Hellsings they may have not so mundanely fashioned cuttlery laying about for just such occasions?

Great. JUST great. I leave for ONE WEEK - Just One - and in that time, I missed Joker's appearance, The Princess and the Goblin, and Pip's death notice!

...Damn, I love this comic.
I got the way and means to New Orleans
I'm goin' down by the river where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink, then walk around
I got a lot to think about
Oh yeah...

knowing hellsing. you will never know :p

like first you have a pistol that fires .454 Casull rounds which are classed as rounds that you would put in sniper rifle's

then they come with a pistol that fires 13MM rounds. thats even a bigger round that the IMI Desert Eagle use (watch 'The Matrix' its the Gun that the 'Agents' use) and even more powerfull the the heaviest Sniper rifle the american forces use, and they only use that weapon when laying down as the force will knock them on there back side no matter how they support them selfs.

then you have the Harkonen Cannon with its 30MM caliber. thats the same size rounds as the 'GAU-8 Avenger' Which is the seven rotating barrel cannon that is mounted on the nose of a A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft.

then on old butler that can slice you on half with just floss wire.

so yeah. if it comes to weapons or general intruments of destruction. you just never know with hellsing being the one to deploy it

while fandom likes to call it floss, technically, it is monofilament wire, which actually makes it into a whole other bag of chips...

Now, was the sculpture itself made out of said wire, or was that the tool used to make it with? :twisted:

It's made entirely out of said fishing line.
And when I say I've seen it, I mean I've physically stood near it and observed it. ♥ Click the link to John Warren at the top to see even more.

Ouch. I'm going to guess that's not very fun to bump into by accident.

sorry Elin. but the term monofilament wire i just beyond my level of understanding english. i dont even know how to pronounce it to tell you the truth.

but it stands out that it has to be differant then normal floss after seeing that photo just now.

With the close approximation between .50 inches and 13mm, it's likely that K. Hirano intended the gun to be .50 caliber, but used the metric equivalent. Barrel length also plays a role in muzzle velocity, so military sniper rifles probably have more power. Given that those rifles are armor piercing and can hit targets a mile away, Alucard isn't missing out on much. If his guns were any more powerful, they'd shoot through his targets, embedding the blessed sliver in the wall behind them, instead of inside them.

Altogether, it's mostly a question of who gets to the Sith first. Could you pick a worst spot to spring out of a cake? Who's worse off, Pip or the vampire?

yeah i guess your right. the sniper version is so powerfull that when the bullet even fly's past your head with half a meter of clearance. it can still kill you cos the force of it will have the same effect as an assassin snapping your neck.
