I have a question...

[conuly]

Holy water kills vampires, right? And it's harmless to humans, right?

So why didn't the Scoobies just carry around Super Soakers with holy water in 'em? Not only would it allow them to kill vampires easily from a distance, but it would've kept them from looking suspicious and/or accidentally hurting non-vampires. Plus, if they got hot after a fight, they could easily cool down.

And water balloons! They could easily have set up traps in places vampires were likely to go, and have had water balloons fall down and poof away the vampire! That'd be... a little silly, really, but a lot safer than their normal M.O.

because they were too stoned to remember about things like holy water, of course.

Maybe holy water is hard to get. :P

You think too much.

hehe.. i dont know about the first buffy game (its for xbox only and i dont have an xbox) but i just finished the 2nd one today. in the game, they did have super soakers with holy water. also little glass bottles with holy water to throw at vamps

I have a vague recollection of seeing some sort of trunk in Buffy's house that contained stakes, crossbows, various other assorted weapons and at least one little tiny bottle of holy water.

Maybe they had a hard time getting it? Maybe the church didn't want to just hand off bottles of holy water to teenagers?

Or maybe the writers just forgot.

Yeah, like they "forgot" to give the potentials flame-throwers to use against the ubervamps, and instead left them with swords and stuff.

Because that would make things too easy. And you wouldn't get the cool fights... hehehe

I dunno, maybe it would look silly if they were wandering around with super soakers all the time too... Plus stakes n stuff can be used over and over, but what can you do when you run out of water? Hit them on the head with the gun? hehehe

[conuly]

If you run out of water? Use a stake.

Okay... one of my minor perseverations (read as major perseverations) is vampires. Holy water doesn't kill vampires. It essentially has the same effect as crosses. Anything 'blessed' will have a repelling/burning effect.

But, unless you actually submurged a vampire in holy water, it wouldn't be able to kill them. Just as if it would be kinda hard to kill yourself with a splash of acid. You'd probably be in some incredible frigin pain, but you probably wouldn't die. And, sometimes it's just easier to stake bastards than to turn them into raging, pissed off, blood suckers.

And thus ends my lesson in vampi-goodness.

[conuly]

Yes, but super soakers can be modified so that the water actually cuts the skin. If you have it at that high pressure, and a lot of water, you can burn them straight through to the heart.
