| yesterday | comment | added | FlyingLemmingSoup | This is a good in-universe solution, though it doesn't quite fit the vibe I was going for. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | TheDemonLord | I'm not sure if this would work - in order for the projectile to be light enough so that the recoil doesn't knock the fairy over (see my answer) - you are going to have a very small projectile - trying to hollow out such a small projectile in order to have enough space for a lethal dose of a substance that can survive the heat/pressure/acceleration of a gunshot - without the bullet deforming in the barrel - I'm not sure. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | computercarguy | Isn't this basically what fairies in most movies/TV shows/books do already, just with an arrow or crossbow? I'm not saying the answer is bad, I'm saying the question isn't good for not considering this. Switching the neurotoxin delivery system from an arrow to a gun doesn't really change the dynamic, but I guess it gives it a more modern twist, like having a Thompson sub-machine gun that's fairy sized. Lol. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | Monty Wild♦ | Consider Raymond E. Feist's Faerie Tale in which an elf-shot is basically a tiny flint arrow with a tendency to embed itself deep into a target's flesh, infected with a nasty, virulent strain of something like botulism. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Michael Richardson | Mythical fairies had 'elfshot' to which was attributed to pretty much any poor fortune, such as an animal becoming sick or lame (or dead). This would pair excellently with a fairy theme. | |
