It’s called an elephant gun because it’s for shooting elephants. Not because it’s the size of an elephant. There is no way a horses hoof or an elephants trunk will fit in the barrel of a gun thats less than an inch a single freedom unit in diameter.
But you know what will? A finger. You’re just going to want to shove it in their really good because those cartridges pack a punch.
What about double barreled shotguns? Those are each going to require two fingers. I’m beginning to think the creators of this change.org petition haven’t really thought this through.
