Its probably because Angelblades don't melt down without spells only the King of Hell would dabble in. Ontop of that Sam and Dean wouldn't waste something so valuable as an angelblade. Not only are they hard to get, they're good for killing demons and angels, and they can be reused, like the demon knife. No way would they melt down angelblades into bullets an angel could just dodge or slow time to avoid.

Crowley's magical prowess is very understated. He can survive Rowena's magic, he can replicate it, but also manage to do a dozen of unique things "we never see again". He manages to trap Lucifer in Apocalypse World and a dozen other things. His humility of, "I melted it down and made bullets" is far, far more complicated. Crowley knows how to make ammo for the Colt, which already is important. Now it's established that he's in touch with a coven of witch's for resurrection magic (part of demon deals) and established that system, putting him pretty on par with Rowena in terms of power though his is often administrative. Bobby in apocalypse world has angel killing bullets, but that's likely because demons, witches and all manner of beasties are all on the same de facto side. There's angels, then anything else - this could yield a lot of possible roads to these same discoveries, especially since Bobby is both as administrative and knowledgeable as Crowley. They're practically foils. We see the quantum gun Chuck has be melted down, but it's clearly more complicated than that. That gun is an unearthly tangle of god-magic, it's something only Chuck could make. The Colt is likely very similar. The pentagram, the inscription - these might have NO bearing on the gun's significance. Just addons to make them easier to distinguish from a bag of other guns. The angel-killing bullets are also inefficient. Castiel gets hurt by a bullet, but it doesn't kill him - it slows him down, but doesn't kill him. This causes a big issue, since winged angels can teleport and if you don't capitalize on your attack, they teleport, you die. You need angel hubris to kill them. Even Balthazar opted for surprise attacks with the blades, as guns are too threatening for angels to ignore once "they know". This made them more suitable in apocalypse world, whereas in the main world getting angels to strat throwing hands was smarter. Angels are pretty uniform, so relying on that hubris was smarter than trying to just make bullets. The bullets are also expended when you shoot with them, unless you dissect an angel - who often explode when they die. Meanwhile, if you make angel-killing bullets, the odds Castiel is gonna get shot with them are high. Knives are personal. For Demons, hex-bullets with glyphs on them work just as well. Princes of hell can't be stopped by them, but also, there's nothing to say that angel-bullets would be anymore effective. We see them tank angel blades entirely, which means bullets might be less-than-useful. You also can't "test" that, since no demon is gonna let you shoot them, and if you try it on a major bad guy you die learning this data. They might have some angel-killing bullets around, but just don't want to use them since they're unreliable when the knife is absolutely tested. You can't mess around with an angel, they will detonate you if you aren't careful. So... maybe there's some at the bottom of the boys bag, but they just never find an occasion to risk it. Especially when hiding a gun is harder than hiding angel blades, which are designed to be simple to conceal - it's almost their priority. You also can do a lot of duelling tricks with those blades, whereas guns you telegraph your intentions far too easily... and then there's the gun itself. Crowley used a luger from WW2, which is an "odd" choice. Bobby uses an automatic pistol, which is another odd choice. ... the gun might be the hard part, not the bullet. If you fire an angel-blade bulelt out of a glock, the glock might blow up in your hand. There's striations in modern firearms. You might need a flintlock ball style bullet or else you're getting blowback... Or you might need a cursed weapon that's indestructible. That makes the most sense, and why a Luger would be used. A hitler-era weapon is great on the kabal side of things, but also, probably cursed by the heinous acts. The Colt might be cursed, making it invincible, making it easier to fire. It would be in line for Bobby to use a cursed weapon as well. ... and now you're getting into evil magic. Dean would be absolute about this, no evil magic unless you need it. Even Sam likely sat down and was like, "This is getting dark". And when you're hanging with Cas, I'm sure he's frowning a bit too. Weaponry obsession isn't a healthy thing, better to sit down and find more useful, helpful lore than spend months trying to make another killing weapon.

On the point regarding comets/meteors/celestial events, Supernatural, like many of the CW shows, had some influences from modern neopaganism and witchcraft. In both sides, celestial events, including Halley's Comet, are revered for the energy that they pass down and are called on in rites and rituals devoted to certain deities. Throughout Supernatural they make celestial events to be pretty important overall, especially in reference to lunar cycles and eclipses, just as in witchcraft, which sees different periods of the cycle as important for specific spells- ie New Moons being a perfect time for bringing in new energy into one's life, or beginning new tasks, or initiating a new member into a circle. In the show, the boys needed an Eclipse to open a gateway to Purgatory in order to purge Castiel of all the souls he had gorged himself on earlier in the season, just as one example. So it could be that the Comet somehow passed down a spark of divine energy, such as a spark of an Archangel's grace (considering that's about how far up it scales) during the creation of the Colt, imbuing it with the power to kill most things up to and including gods, angels, demons, Princes and Knights of Hell, alphas, and monsters created by Lilith. As to why it doesn't work on others, that could be directly due to them existing before humanity. None of Princes or Knights existed before humanity, so while they are strong enough to hold their own against Seraphim, they can't handle Archangels. Same goes for the gods- they came into existence with humanity, the oldest being the gods of the nature and cosmology. Some of the beings on the show are too ancient to be affected by the Colt, or given too much power to be.

Ok you are missing one aspect. Magic and Religion when dealing with demons and spirits and faye folk works completely different from reality. Here in reality we work on a basis of logic and physics. Demons and spirits work on a basis of contracts and beliefs, the contracts work simply off of belief, this is why demons can be warded off with faith and incantations. Now this being said, all the rituals performed in magic and the cults of Christianity and Judaism are the same thing, they are a form of contractual structure that create belief. They create rules in the opponents reality. So, this ritual performed and says that they have acquired the required power to create a weapon that can kill such and such and the enemy says "yeah seems legit". Now their own belief creates the rule that they can be killed by the weapon. What gives certain creatures resistance or immunity to the weapon is logical loopholes that suspend or break this belief. An example would be an Arch Demon going "oh yeah well ok but I can just stop bullets in mid air, or Lucy just going "Yeah but I am Lucifer and above that shit". Basically the higher the power scaling and knowledge the easier it is for these beings to look into the physics of their reality and see the loopholes in the binding rules. Then we have the simple fact that God in this story is quite quirky and at his wits end trying to make his story work. When humans did their ritual that said "we have made this all powerful weapon", God said sure why not, that sounds fun. So while God wasn't fooled by this ritual, he did decide to sign off on it being true. That is just with the purpose of rituals in magic and religion. Now we consider the most likely answer. God in this story is just a horrible writer, he did come up with the gun, but his attention to detail is a bit off. So he just wrote "yeah the gun is real and they made it". But he did not include detailing what the gun is made from or how the ritual works. He just wrote the gun works, unless I deem it not to for drama. Lastly it could be a combination of both of those things. God wrote "Yeah they made this gun and it one shots everything because of this cryptic ritual". And then all the demons and angels and mythical creatures said "yeah that makes sense" and were thus bound by this contract as reality. The issue why some are immune or resistant to the colt is simply power scaling and knowledge base. For example: Lucifer is one of God's biggest critics and know his writing is shitty with little care put into it. This gives him the power to break the belief with just a simple "yeah, sounds like bullshit to me, how could I, ME, LUCIFER, THE MOST POWERFUL ARCHANGEL, fall to a human made weapon?", thus breaking his bonds to this contract.

If I were to break this down further I'd also point out that the coloration on the cult matches on archangel, blade the brass gold and bronze. I would even theorize that in the cult is an archangel blade most likely Gabriel's, but likely is a Gregori (the vampire angle hunter) thing that feed off happy souls or whatever. One of there blades was melted down into parts for the colt. The rest of it was melted down into bullets. I'm pretty sure Castiel mentions that him or angels were sent to Earth to hunt all of those like soul vampires down. If that's the case then whoever was in charge at the time probably so what Samuel Colt did with one of those blades and figured this was a big no-no for power to come into human hands and sent the angels down there to get rid of all the other soul sucking vampires.

He gave the gun to Sam, when Sam and Dean needed it to kill a Phoenix, and that's what started the legend that he made the gun for a hunter.

Rowina says “when death notices are loophole”, it’s from the episode where they bring back the deaf hunter woman. It does create an interesting idea that maybe the creation of the gun is tied to a loophole. However instead of using the loophole for resurrection, it’s used to kill. Could be cool if the way it works is by turning the victim human/part human for a split second or maybe just at the area of impact. Then the only beings capable of surviving a shot are entities that have lost all connection to humanity. Those entities would be arch angels, primordials such as the leviathans / the 4 horsemen, Kain (+ his original demon crew, which is likely due to their connection to the mark of Cain). It’s possible that the creators of the Colt, don’t understand that that’s why it works, so they could never recreate it. It’s also possible that Death doesn’t consider it a loophole since the colt simply enhances the influence of the victim’s humanity. It would be interesting to look into what happens to the souls of those the Colt has killed. The colt probably doesn’t heal demons back to humans, but maybe it could let a human turn Monster enter an afterlife, that isn’t purgatory. This could be the case, after all vampirism can be reversed if no blood has been drunk.

For me, the Colt is in the center of the biggest plot hole in the show. The Winchesters went through extreme lenghts to kill Eve, the Leviathans, and Abaddon, without even trying if the Colt works on them. If the Colt was somehow lost, okay. But after we learn that Crowley knew all along where the Colt was, I really wondered why he didn't tell Sam and Dean. He wanted all of these creatures - Eve, Leviathans and Abaddon - definitely dead at some point. This would also support your theory that Eve and the Leviathans are immune, and maybe Crowley did some research (after what happened with Lucifer) and knew.

Did some brief sleuthing, the Alamo occurred February 23 - March 6, 1836, Not sure which night "those men" died, but as it was a battle, and you don't call it a battle once your enemy is dead or given up it is fair to assume large casualties would occur near the end. Halley's comet appeared in that year but seems to have appeared in June, according to an archived Australian news paper I found on line. A point on the metallurgy of early Colts, Most of the early ones had Iron cylinders. And some of the high end one had silver steel frames and barrels for corrosion resistance. Silver steel contains silver, touted often in the show for it's anti-evil properties, where as cold iron was less often mentioned, it has a long history with the fey, and the show uses it occasionally against ghosts. Also, The Colt Paterson was first made in 1831, and patented in 1836, the year "The Colt" was made. So Samuel had five years of successful gun manufacture under his belt. As these first guns were .36 caliber, percussion cap, black powder weapons, and "The Colt" is a cartridge revolver Samuel might have modified this weapon latter in life. (No, Samuel colt did not invent the self contained cartridge.) I hope this weaponized autism has helped someone.

There is a phenomenon I use in my D*D games called "Magnum Opus" that refers to instances where completely normal craftsmen manage to create a singular magical item in their careers (maybe two for truly legendary craftsfolk), that takes part of their own soul and taps into the cosmic background magic. These weapons or items usually play massively important roles and have powers and traits that are unique or exceedingly rare. Honestly the way I interpret the Colt is this: Colt was a man like John Winchester, driven, a little mad, and unwavering in his purpose. Whatever the cause of his knowledge of the supernatural world, he became aware of it, and sought to craft a weapon that would give future hunters a fighting chance. I think it more likely that the comet and the alamo and probly a handful of other one of events happening in the world may have contributed to this once in a lifetime event, and that he would go on to continue to learn new things about the supernatural, and eventually used his powerful colt as a key for the second (as I said, rare but possible) great Magnum Opus, the Giant Devils Trap and Lock. Not as intricate as yours I admit, but sometimes simple can be elegant. In my mind, Colt and John Winchester are very similar, its not hard to imagine Colt also going through something traumatic and dedicating his life and fortune to hunting. Cheers.

Sam says that Ruby's spell to make bullets "Mimics the original etchings" and the Latin that's spoken is literally just "Mimic this sigil, mimic this sigil". So the engravings are clearly where the power lies. Just like the Lance of Michael, "The power is in its craftsmanship, its spellwork". My theory is that Chuck, gave Samuel Colt a vision, and the Comet and stuff was a sign of him manifesting his power on Earth. Why, you may ask? Simply because he thought it was cool, and good for the story.

I always assumed the 5 creatures that the Colt couldn't kill were the 4 Archangels and Death. The show writers hadn't invented things like Eve, Cain and Amara yet as the show was written to end with season 5. As far as we knew the strongest beings at the time were the 4 Archangels, Death, God and Jesse Turner (The Antichrist). The Archangels believe God to have left existence, which is why they triggered the apocalypse in the first place, and Lucifer says; "There's only 5 things IN all of creation that that gun can't kill". This is after Jesse in introduced, but before Luci 'kills' Gabriel, so they both definitely exist at the time. I think that Lucifer most likely doesn't know about Jesse. Or perhaps he isn't strong enough to survive the Colt yet. Castiel does say that Jesse's power is still growing.

@@adegbenrotemitope8075 I believe what Death actually said was that neither he nor god remembered who came first. Now the fact that death doesn't remember could just mean that Chuck did actually create him, but wanted him to think he didn't so he removed that memory. Seeing as we never got an actual confrontation between the first Death (the only one I personally consider the real Death) we don't know if he could in fact reap God. It's one of those unfinished details, like the origins of the Colt.

Fun little thing I need to mention. Firing revolvers in general, and the Colt Patterson (the model of the Colt in universe) is very much a ritual. First, you load it (a ritual by itself), then you need to aim it, then you need to thumb the hammer down to flip the trigger down, advance the cylinder, and set the trigger, then you need to put your finger on the trigger, then you need to squeeze through the trigger break, then you need to reset the trigger. Most bullets are softer metal then the gun, so I don't buy the scraping the barrel thing all that much. Really small amounts of transfer from the barrel to the bullet. All this to say that it's a ritual that feeds another ritual. Magically, this is significant.

I am all the way here for this kind of nerdy discussion. It reminds me of when I came up with a plausible history for the "Kurdish Demon-Killing Blades" for the purposes of a Supernatural RP that I'm a part of. As for my list about the five things the Colt can't kill, first of all I think you absolutely have to look at it as categories and not individual beings. I don't think it makes sense otherwise. I also feel like it makes a little more sense if you narrow the field a bit further by regarding "Creation" (as Lucifer specifically states) to be "beings that Chuck had a hand in creating/watching over" rather than treating the question as "all of existence". That being said, here's my list: 1.) Archangels 2.) The Horsemen 3.) Knights of Hell (or any who are otherwise bound by the Mark of Cain) 4.) Leviathans (I am hesitantly tossing Eve in here as well, since we IMO have sufficient dialogue to support her being at least somewhat related to them despite Edgar's objections) 5.) Shedim I am not sure about the Shedim, mostly because we know so little about them -- including whether they predate Creation. They're just supposed to be "ancient scary demons exiled to Hell". Assuming they were from outside Creation, then I wouldn't mind moving Eve to their slot instead. I am deliberately not listing people like Jack or Jesse because while I think it's conceivable that they both could survive the Colt, both likely postdate the well-known establishment of the gun's limits and thus wouldn't be factored in to the saying. Likewise, I consider several primordial beings like Chuck, Amara, The Shadow, and the Cthulu-esque gods to exist outside of Creation and are probably not considered fair game. Maybe Soul Eaters, too.

Nice video. But you missed that the new bullets made for the Colt give off a different magical color when killing something compared to the original 13 bullets. The original bullets gave off a blue effect during the kill. The new bullets are red/orange. IIRC...There was also a line of dialog in the show where it was hinted that the "new bullets" were somehow different compared to the original 13 bullets, and the power behind them was somehow different too. Vague but never elaborated on. This was ignored by later writers and producers who came onto the show in later seasons.

I always thought he made a deal with crossroads demon, so that he could forge the gun, but then killed the demon using the gun, so that he didn't have to give up his soul, but instead dean and sam joined the party, which meant he went to an early grave, but passed it onto a future generation of hunters. This would also make sense given demons intimate knowledge of the gun, as it may have been a biproduct of a crossroads deal gone wrong, as it may have been the right place right time, but otherwise impossible without the comet, to complete the spell required to forge the gun, with maybe even a touch of lucifer's grace.

I've always liked to think of it as this just because you have an ultimate all power gun doesn't fix all your problems. I like to think that the Universe has to correct itself somehow it has to have restrictions. Magic is just one of those things I like to believe within Supernatural that yeah you can do something but there has to be a limit. There has to be restrictions the greater the spell the more restrictions have to be made. And I think that's God's doing that's the universe trying to correct itself and keep order and balance. Sure I can have an all-powerful spell to Nuke the city but they have to be requirements in order to do it. Time sacrifice and belief that it will happen. That's why I would like to believe about the colt the colt may be the most dangerous gun in the world and it can Spirit kill but I would like to believe that maybe the creator of the gun restricted its capabilities so that it would have the maximum output. You know checks and balances calamity balance and counterbalance. Equivalent Exchange having all powerful gun that can kill anything but the trade-off it can't kill everything. The more powerful and older the creature the less likely it can kill it. Without a loophole.

Provided you use the correct ammunition type, the Colt can fire, regardless of whether the ammo is magical or not.

The theory I have in my head as of listening to this is that the "men dying at the Alamo" is important because of reapers, or more importantly death, so maybe it involves capturing the powers of Death himself. As the only other thing that could kill practically anything besides Cain's knife and the Gun is Death's Scythe. The rest of how the gun works, being making discount angel blade alloy, makes sense with this too. I believe it can explain why it bypasses magical resistances and attacks a creature's soul/spirit rather than just the body. Though the rift closing/making theory you have is also good. Though I don't think that the writers thought that far ahead seeing as the series was potentially gonna end with season 5. Though its would be a great explanation in hindsight!

You could maybe pull a connection. (Or lack of connection to be more precise) from god, the comet and the gun. Technically, like 99% of all light in the universe comes from stars. The rest would be stuff like, lightning, lava, other natural phenomenon. or... what's known as the luciferium response. A luciferium response is anything that naturally produces light without heat. It's actually named that because Lucifer means light bringer. But you could stretch that in a universe where literally Lucifer and god exist. To mean a light outside god's light. Or not from god. Most light from a comet is just a reflection of starlight, same as with the moon. But we're not going by the normal rules of physics here. 1st day god created light. The stars. All other light produced naturally or many made on earth, would also be under gods domain. "I am the light of the world" But the light from a comet. That's something else. If we suspend believe for a moment and say the comet actually produces it's own light. Not just reflects it. Then the light that may have illuminated Samuel Colts workpiece as he built it. You could make the argument it wasn't of god creation. His eyes weren't upon it. It wasn't part of his divine plan. But Samuels were. It was his intention. Not gods, and he wanted a weapon that could kill. Kill basically anything. The 5 things then, by extension would be 5 things Samuel either wouldn't have wanted to, or didn't think could be killed. God, Amara, eve, arch angels, 4 Horsemen. Things that are either considered concepts such as darkness, or war, famine,death. Or things he wouldn't have considered killable. Arch-angels, god himself.

Death could also probably kill Dean whilst removing the Mark at the same time, but again, that really wouldn’t be “someone with the Mark” anymore either. I assume this is the case, because the Mark is tied to the Darkness, so the bearer of the Mark is as immortal as the Darkness (thus, not even Death itself would be able to kill and reap someone with the Mark). So no, Death wouldn’t be able to kill someone with the Mark, at least, not without “undoing” the Mark in some way; Death can’t (permanently) kill someone with the Mark, whilst still having the Mark itself intact to the respective host, is what I’m trying to get across.
