Elephant? I don't think a .22LR will penetrate an elephant's skin, for crying out loud.

After running out of ammo I instructed my faithfull guide Haji to distract the beast.The enraged beast was pounding Haji against the nearest tree and I chose that moment to leap upon his heaving back. I then held the gun over my head and with a mighty heave, I drove the barrel of the weapon into the elephants heart killing him dead.

Elephant? I don't think a .22LR will penetrate an elephant's skin, for crying out loud.I think he's referring to legendary Great White Hunter Caramojo Bell who hunted african elephant in the early 1900's with a .243... approx a 6mm. He was a renowned shot and never fired unless he was certain of a shot thru the beast's EYE. One shot....one kill.
