I just thought it was funny, cuz no DB 12 guage is going to stop a rhino...
I wouldn't doubt that a 12 guage with slugs HAS brought down a few rhinos. They are quite potent at close range. I know that many brown bear guides in Alaska use 12 guage shotguns for backup when guiding clients.
I don't doubt it forthe bears, butRhinos do have the plates and some serious muscle. But yeah, a slug is prettydevestating at short range for sure...
