Just busting your balls a little...

If you read a few of Capstick's books, or read around from time to time about other stories like the Brooklyn Zoo killing, you'll find loosely documented cases where elephants have been killed by .22lr's. Capstick's "legend" attests that supposedly the "armpit" of an elephant is relatively thin and is easily penetrated, so again, killing even an elephant with a .22lr all comes down to shot placement.
