So in light of SuperBeast1965’s post on what to have if he’s out looking for cryptids, how about we dedicate this thread to building up our own hypothetical arsenal like the trunk of Sam and Dean’s ‘67 Impala
Anything goes. Dealing with ghosts, ghouls, Djinn, demons, demigods, etc. But let’s keep our theoretical arsenal backed by real theology and lore concepts if at all possible.

And no we can’t kill most supernatural things so let’s stick to what can slow them down or ward us against them and stuff. Have fun with this guys!

First suggestion that I came up with, is having silver Flechette rounds for your shotgun. Silver can apparently kill werewolves and apparently could have some ability to stop Dogmen or skinwalkers. Btw this is what a flechette is. Banned in Canada and some states, would still be an interesting round to have.

It's relatively easy to open up and unfired buckshot or birdshot shell. With that said, you could re-load them with rock salt, fold the shell closed, and now you can shoot salt out of your shotgun!

Don’t forget to consecrate the salt too! You gotta make every round count

I would also advise that you make as many of your weapons as possible. Creating something yourself charges it with your own personal energy, allowing it to be of more use to you. I'll post some of the things I've made in a bit

Agreed. As fun as guns and knives are, they’re a little too technical and not as personal as they ought to be in this case. Maybe make a wood/silver hybrid dagger of sorts. You could take out vapmires, wherewolves, or just blend into the cosplay crowd :p

This is a knife I made from cow bone, the handle is lilac. I created it for defense against shadow people. Because of the fact light is reported to harm them, I've burned different symbols of light and protection into the blade. I chose to make a knife, because it is a symbol of power and commanding. I have not had to use it, as soon as I made it, the entity that plagued my home quickly left

This is a loose incense blend I ground up to ward off negative entities and energies. It is also good to help bring about serenity after times of tension. The ingredients are listed on the tag. I haven't come up with a proper name for the mixture

This is one of several vials of black salt I place throughout my home. To create your own black salt is very easy, I could make a separate thread for different methods/variations. Black salt absorbs harmful or malevolent energies so that they may not reach you.

Here are two sigils I've created for protection. They cant be painted, drawn, carved, etched onto tools, clothing, etc.
