The question is why do girls like that stuff so much? Even some twenty-somethings (!)?

Incredibly sexist sounding psychology is required to explain this.

Sometimes you have to be sexist. It's escapist. You take the deep abiding mindset (that we all have) that "I'm an outcast" then link it to another outcast of a similar type (in this case being a nobody likes me becuase of the way I am) give a sympathetic lead a sympathetic partner and people will lap it up. It's easier to do with girls than guys (and guys easier than politically aware guys) because elements of competition are greatly removed.

Not if you can dodge it. And vampires are inherently dodgy.

Mmm, yes, i'm sure you'll be able to dodge a 100 meter metal pole (probably depleted Uranium, nice and dense) hurtling towards you from orbit at speeds usually reserved for subatomic particles thanks to the aforementioned railgun.

Now dodge ten.

Generally, you'd go for Tungsten actually.

Well, even then, in a railgun, you would need something with very good electric conductivity. Tungsten isn't exactly very conductive. Iridium is really, really heavy, so results in the most kinetic energy, but is not very conductive either. Alloying Iridium (or Osmium, or Osmiridium) with silver for conductivity and less brittleness is a very good idea, when ignoring price.

You use a shell casing that is conductive.

Oh well. Even then, silver shell would be best, no?

No point making the entire shell out of silver; too expensive. Hell with a railgun you only really need to make a 'core' or 'skeleton' out of conductive materials; you only need enough on there to move it.

Yay, killing twilight vampires. My personal favourite idea is using a CBU-97, modified so that the skeets target human like objects (they're normally for killing vehicles), and perhaps using a depleted uranium-copper 97/3 alloy loadout instead of the conventional copper.

Google informs me that to kill a twilight vampire, you need to tear it to pieces and burn it. I don't care how sparkly you are, a few depleted uranium alloy slugs weighing quarter of a kilogram each, and travelling at several times the speed of sound will shred you quite nicely. Also, did you know that depleted uranium ignites under impact conditions?

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

They establish "There is only one thing that can kill a vampire" twice to my knowledge.

Though the second time is easily explained.

Whatever happened to stabbing it in the heart, cutting it's head off and sewing it back on backwards, and filling it's insides with garlic?

Simple, no one knows how to sew anymre. It would make vampires immortal!

And hitting them with sub-orbital munitions is just so much more satisfying.

I find a secret society of sewing ladies bent on destroying all vampires so much more alluring.

Well a kinetic lance could be made in the shape of a sewing needle, so technically you could consider it turning a seam on planets.

They're even more effeminate and retarded than Sparklepires.

No, no i think effeminate heroes with anti-gravity hair and ludicrously oversized swords are less retarded than sparkly vampires.

I have to agree with you. I may not have an ludicrously oversized sword, but every morning I wake up with anti-gravity hair. But the most common reaction when people see it is to laugh and tell me to get a comb.

Which is substantially less than the reaction people would have if you sparkled in sunlight.

I think the reaction you would get is: "Lay off the sparkles!"
