Why does the Lone Ranger use Silver Bullets?
If you read the Saturday Evening Post article on this site, you’ll see that Striker borrowed it from a Robin Hood radio program he’d written where Robin used silver arrowheads to identify himself. Later, a more philosophical reason was given. Silver bullets reminded the Ranger how expensive firing a gun at a man was. Not that this seemed to sway him from firing his gun an awful lot. 🙂 Just not to kill anyone.
