In 1966 I killed an elephant in Vietnam with a single shot from an M-16.
I once say a news tape of cops killing a rogue elephant with 9mm handguns. I have no idea how many shots but is was obviously a lot.
You are a man of few words. Good ones though.
Reminded me of a friend of mine who was seriously wounded in Vietnam but survived and lives happily to this day. Long ago (I was in my mid-teens when the war ended) he told me how since he was that tallest man in his unit--tall skinny farmboy, really had no idea where he was or what he was doing--he was 'elected' to carry the BAR.
I thought that was really cool and I managed shyly to ask him if he'd killed lots of 'gooks' with it, something stupid like that.
He said (if I remember correctly) no that mainly it was used to knock down the water buffalo in the rice paddies 'cause they could be dangerous as hell.
