Realistically, I don't think a single shotgun blast would be enough to kill a fully grown male silverback gorilla
>>153178393Depends on the range it was fired and the type of shell
>>153178393>never shot a fucking gun before
>>153178433gorilla's a touch tougher than a paper target, though.the idea with a shotgun is to definitely wound, right? and in fairness, most animals don't heal a tenth as well as we do. Not sure if that includes apes.
>>153178474It's a fucking shotgunEven if you are an elephant, a single blast can kill you or cripple you to your death
>>153178393Animorphs agrees with you
>>153178495>Even if you are an elephantA slug, sure, but birdshot? Really?>t. worked with wild elephants
>>153178495it could cripple your trunk, but no.. there's a reason 'elephant guns' exist.Skin gets exponentially harder to penetrate, the thicker it gets. It's the same thing that happens when firing into water.>>153178529exactly. a slug is another story. that's just one big boolet.
>>153178495>Even if you are an elephantClayton's puny gun ain't killing Tantor in one shot anon
>>153178529>A slug, sure, but birdshot?What kind of big game hunter goes big game hunting with birdshot
>>153178393harambe did not kill himself
>>153178393I'm currently watching the Tarzan animated series. It's actually pretty good. Jane is adorable.
>>153178393And Kerchak isn't the average silverback gorilla. Reminder that silverbacks are usually 5-6 feet tall. Kerchak looks absolutely massive.
>>153179591I like the episodes that focus on Tublat or focus on Pellucidar. It's also funny how the show does a better job of making Terk a likeable character then the film did.
>>153179591Why is this not on D+? They have Tarzan & Jane and the original and Tarzan II movies on it. Or some stupid shit like the Aladdin series not being on it?
>>153178558 An elephant gun is exactly what it is. It's a double rifle, not a shotgun.
>>153178419Dum Dum Bullets
>>153180327Disney has no live-action Tarzan in the works, so they see no value in adding a TV series that *in their minds* only exists to advertise an upcoming remake that hasn't entered production yet.
>>153178393>>153180907This. It was a double rifle. They're purpose-made to kill the largest, most dangerous animals on the planet in 1-2 shots.
>>153178393>he doesnt know about the killing spot located on all silverback male gorillasThe fuck are they teaching in the schools nowadays?
>>153183486I was not aware gorillas were Smaug.
>>153179591Can't believe Clayton had a sisssssssssssssster
>>153183447Looking at screencaps it doesn't look much like a double rifle. Note the hammers and the shape of the breech, and how there's no sight at all (not even a notch and bead). Either Clayton is using a kind of stupidly badly designed custom piece, or that's an obsolete (even for the era) shotgun. Or, Disney artists don't know guns.
>>153183594And she’s hot!
>>153178529There is no indication anywhere that Clayton used birdshot and that would be a ridiculous thing to assume.
