stoutfellowIf you haven't seen the Season 2 Buffy episode "Innocence", intend to some day, and don't want to be at all spoiled, stay out of the cut.
In the two-parter "Surprise"/"Innocence", Buffy and crew go up against a powerful demon known as the Judge, who first appeared in the Middle Ages, was defeated and neutralized for centuries, and has now been restored. His most fearsome trait is the fact that "no weapon forged can harm him". Xander comes up with a plan: he and Cordelia break into the local Army base and make off with a rocket-launcher. Using it, Buffy is able to blow the Judge to bits.
I've always figured that the reason it worked is because the weapon wasn't forged - it was stolen.
Give me a head start, OK?
