He looked over the Na'vi bio-networking quite superficially. But his point was that how can a rhinoceros destroy a robot like that. It's like you take an armore

  We're talking about technology and life forms that don't exist, but imho: The rhinoceros was huge. A couple bullets, even from the robots, will not stop something that size in it's tracks. The robots are smaller, flimsier, and seemed to posses lesser firepower than tanks. Elephants have armor and defense nowhere in their body. The rhinoceros in Avatar looked like they had a veritable carapace to me.

    I'm not saying that elephants have armor; I made the analogy of elephants covered with armor. The rhinoceros was about 2 times the mass of the robots (even they seem light, in realty they shouldn't, different composition, eg. man and a humanoid). The gun was at least a .50 cal. With all this advancement in technology, AI should guide the gun to Aim at the knees (technology that exists today, evaluation of damage trough pre-imposted data). And yes, you're right, it's just a movie.

      No, I understood that, but it's massively not the same. Metal armor has a lot of problems, like chinks and deformation crushing the flesh below. Plus the rest of your body needs to be geared for it. If you donned a metal helm and started butting heads with a mountain goat, you'd loose. The metal stops your head from cracking open, but that's about it, and you wind up with a host of other problems. The goat has an entire body built for the shock. There's a ton more I want to interject with, but yes. Just a movie.
