The true meaning of "Immortal" is not what you will find in a dictionary. The fact of the matter is that everything dies, and there is no such thing as immortality. It is a pipe dream, something they tell little kids to get them to be good. However, there is something that is close to immortal. There are 3 types of vampires that are very close to immortal. These are "Undead" , "Genetic Vampires" and "Inheritor Immortals". Click on the links to know more about these types. What we call Immortal vampires are Vampires that are Immortal when compared to the lifespan of that of a human. For example, if any of these 3 types of Vampires where shot (depending where on the body and with what weapon) it would not kill them. For example, shooting a Classical vampire with a 9 MM pistol would be useless. You are better off throwing the gun at him. The only way to stop them is with a shotgun bullet to the head. Decapation and sunlight is the safest way.
