What caliber/rifle did the Cincinnati zoo use to takedown AbsolutelyHarambe?
Taking down a 450 lb adult gorilla with one shot is impressive.
You gotta figure they probably don't keep an arsenal and whatever rifle they decide on has to handle anything from an escaped insect to an elephant.
They've not responded to repeated queries about the caliber even when I said I was going to Africa to hunt gorillas.

.22lr
The bullet just rattled around inside the gorilla's skull.
you need CONSTITUTION and STRENGTH. To defeat a SILVERBACK you need another SILVERBACK.

AR-15 in .223
308 Is enough for most anything
They probably have some crazy nitro express bullshit for elephants even though they should just use claymores
I email San Diego zoo in 7th grade and told them they should use landmines for the elephants for a school project and they called my school and I had to meet with the guidance counselor after school each day he was pretty cool named Gary he just had me play solitaire and asked me over and over what made me angry to think about
Gary died in a house fire when I was in basic
They should just use claymore though I told them

The bullet changed trajectory five times Harambe, exited his body, retentered, and bounced another three times before exiting.

My local zoo has .44mag revolvers & .458 Lott rifles.
9mm, it's been killing primates for a century.

I literally thought harambe was leslie jones until last week when I learned what Harambe was
It was probably a taser they just don't want people to know how lethal they can be

its the whole Cecil the lion thing all over again, libs get mad when animals get killed by people and the make a big fuss over it. This is why make a wish wont let kids go hunting anymore, some kid wanted to shoot a kodiak bear and the libs freaked out even though the bear was in season and they arnt endangered. Libs just dont get hunting. They are the type of people that want people to buy their meat at the store becaue "no animals were hurt". I know Harambe was not hunted but for some reason libs still have that whole muh mujestik kreetur mentality
>Although the procedures followed by the ‘weapons teams’ are standardized, the firearms used appear to be chosen by the individual zoos and/or the leader of each team. Open source information points to a combination of 12 gauge shotguns and high-powered rifles being on hand at most major zoos.
>The team armed themselves with four guns from a locked cabinet kept in the general curator’s office. Salisbury carried a 12-gauge shotgun. The remaining staff carried two .375 rifles and a 30.06 rifle.

I hope to Christ they didn't kill Harambe with a slug. .375 was designed to bring his kind down, at least let it do it's job.

The kid was a cover up story. They found out he was the trained gorilla hired to assassinate Princess Diana, and redcoat spies hiding within our government took action

Despite all the memeing ITT, they used a 12 gauge shotgun to kill Harambe. A slug, I believe.

>>31098496
I'd guess most zoos have 30.06 rifles for a couple reasons, Easy and common caliber and rifle, round suitable to kill most anything outside of elephants.
>>31100498
.30-06 can definitely kill an elephant with proper shot placement
WDM Bell used 6.5mmm Mannlicher, .303 Brit, and 7mm Mauser rifles to kill almost every elephant he shot and he just used plain old military ball
