Replica of the Good Samaritan
The Good Samaritan is a fictional weapon from Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy films. The Catholic-raised Hellboy was familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan. In the comics and other media, Hellboy uses other guns. The Good Samaritan's design is somewhat based on a gun in the comics given to Hellboy by the Torch of Liberty.
Weapon Specifications[]
The Samaritan is an oversized, 22 mm four-round revolver. It fires its custom-made bullets with adequate power to easily penetrate virtually any material. The gun itself has unearthly resistance to almost all forms of attack, and includes grips carved from fragments of the True Cross. The metal of the gun is forged from a combination of Irish church bells, cold iron from crucifixes, blessed silver, and other mystic metals.
The Samaritan only holds four of its oversized rounds, and is difficult to load with the large fingers on the Right Hand of Doom. As a result, Hellboy usually tries to load with his left hand when possible. He is usually only able to fire the Samaritan with his left hand, again due to the size of the fingers on his right hand; however, in Hellboy II, the Samaritan is fired in the Troll Market by Hellboy with his right hand

Made them myself. Holy water, clove leaf, silver shavings, white oak. The works.

These rounds, custom-made by Hellboy himself, are tipped with explosive shells that contain white oak, holy water, garlic, and silver shavings. These ingredients, each bearing a folkloric power to impede evil and/or specific monsters (e.g. vampires,werewolves, witches, etc.), have the potential to injure many of the foes Hellboy may face.
Tracking Rounds[]
These contain a phosphorescent green liquid that will drip from the wound they open on a target, allowing the target's path to be easily followed in low-light situations.
