HAAAAAAA!!!!!! Yeah, plus it's easier AFTER you have shit your pants
LOL! Once there's shit in your pants, strict adherence to safety rules tends to seem a lot less important, that's for sure!

Sure, if you shoot them 5 times.
good follow up 35, glad you didn't get bit.
I'll say this much: I'd always heard people talk about how the ar15 was great for "follow-up shots." I never knew what a follow-up shot was with my .35 Rem. They just died.
that was 3 .223s from what I read...
you can kill an elephant with a .22 if you shoot it enough times.
Likewise with my .308 or 45-70.
I read about one professional hunter killing an elephant with a .22. One shot.
His favorite caliber for elephant was 7mm Mauser though.
Not calling bullshit on you Sage, but on a PH that claims that a .22 lr will penetrate 8-12" of bone ( on average) of an elephant's skull to make a kill shot.
Google says 7-9" and it is more of a honeycomb instead of solid bone in order to help cool the blood and brain.
Not that a .22 would penetrate that either.
Maybe a 60gr shot at just the right angle in to the eye socket, or a well placed shot in to an artery near the surface of the skin, still an inch or so thick and tough as hell so not easy.
Gut shot in the soft part of the belly maybe.....
None sounds like a very quick or humane death without overwhelming amounts of luck.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Surely it's not impossible.
Was going on info from a couple of sources on the density of the skull. The honey combing effect is why you need heavy solids to take down an elephant with a head shot. A .22 rim fire just doesn't have the umph to do it. An elephant's skin is, on average, an inch or more in thickness. I just do not believe that an elephant could be taken down with a single round of .22lr.
The only way is if it died from infection weeks after the shot, and I would not call that a one shot kill.

WDM "Karamojo" Bell killed around 800 elephant using the 7x57 Mauser.
