Unhinged speculation aside, What kind of gun could possibly kill a whale?
- silverquiet 2y agoI’ve had this thought since reading about Orcas attacking yachts; it seems inevitable that the humans will do what they usually do when threatened. You can buy a fifty-caliber rifle fairly readily in the US which I believe will disable most vehicles when fired at the engine block. I’m far from an expert but I suspect that will severely injure just about any mammal. And obviously humans hunted even large whales historically, so the techniques and equipment must be known to some.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoUnsure, but it’s a bit of a secret that people in the area carry guns to protect from orcas..
