(I personally do not believe in werewolves. Most of this is made up by yours truly)
Scientifically, werewolves can be told as such. Werewolves are generally like genetically enhanced mice, werewolves have an enhanced ADP production. This creates proteins to produce fast healing. Silver bonds with these proteins, and leave the gash where it is, unhealed. Inside the werewolf cannot repel the bullet unless it is done manually, which takes too much time. By this time they are dead, so all in all, the silver bullet is lethal, but hard to come by.
A silver knife must be stabbed repeatedly, to make the amount of gashes within the werewolf too much for the proteins to heal. Yes, you can kill them with a regular bullet, but the fast healing will allow them to get the help they need by the time the bullet is infected inside the body.. Also, any damage to brain/heart will kill them as well. If the lycanthrope is a transferred process, then the victim has empathy or the same feelings as the one that bit them. In order to break that empathetic feeling, the host must be killed. The empathy is not is not i repeat mind control.
Werewolves often have a shorter lifespan than a human since lycanthropsy is a VIRUS. The virus gives the body the ability to produce more ADP, which enables fast healing, but since it is a virus, the body tries to repel it. Unfortunately it is a lost cause.
The lost cause makes the body overcompensate, which enables super speed and strength. The average werewolf dies at the age of 50 since their body finally tires out. Some live longer than others since they do not use their powers as much as others. A werewolf can live as long as a human, but that would have to mean they would never use their powers.
The virus already takes over three places in the body when it is exposed to lunar light, the Olfactory epithelium, or what our sense of smell comes from, and hair growth. Canines are also extended when exposed to lunar light (moonlight).
Those that succumb to the virus are killed when older, wbut if they are succumbed at a younger age from stress, which kills some of the immune system, they turn into territorial creatures.
