If a bite makes you one and assuming it’s in the spit, could you fill tranquil darts with where woof spit and make a gun???
Where woof?
This can’t be for real.
Would it be possible to build a where woof gun?

So this is tricky. In most of the werewolf bite stories it’s considered a curse as opposed to a biological infection. Something about the bite itself is what causes it. Now this would lead to two options to weaponize. You could take the teeth out of werewolf and build a mechanical jaw to chomp people. Second, you could take the teeth and turn them into bullets. This would actually be economical as werewolves get new teeth every transformation and you also get a new wolf with every shot.
That said, there’s no reason you can’t play it to be in the saliva, you’re idea sounds a lot less likely to create a bunch of traumatized, werewolves that hate you.

Teeth would definitely hurt more. Another question, how slowly would a wolf teeth bullet need to be fired to not kill someone? (I remember reading something about how bullets, even those of “non-lethal” materials like rubber, can still be lethal)

Actually, do werewolves have regenerative abilities like Wolverine? Is that why Wolverine is called that, after wolves???

If you kept it sub sonic and aimed for bonier areas they’d probably be pretty survivable. The teeth don’t have a lot of weight and they won’t be harder than the bone it hits. Then if they survive the lycanthropy gives better healing so that’s going to add to the survivability.

If werewolves did in fact exist and they had the ability to turn other people into werewolves through their saliva, using their spit in a gun would probably turn them into werewolves. It would be kind of like using snake venom in poison darts. I am unsure why one would want to turn someone into a werewolf though, that seems like a terrible idea for the target, the shooter, and the rest of the world.

Werewolf or “where woof”? Those would very different guns…

If I’m reading this correctly, this is a fixtional question on whether you could store werewolf spit into a dart and use it in a gun to turn people into werewolves. Autocorrect I assume

Thanks for explaining, I didn’t get that from reading it. My original question and this reply were both absolutely serious and not sarcastic in nature at all.
