And yes the recoil did that. Perhaps that's why I didn't feel any recoil, it was diverted to the elephant and gave him a stroke? I think we discovered a new law of physics. The formula is:

recoil (in ft.lbs) X puckerfactor(squared) + 400 gr solids = dead elephant

Wow, I need to contact Popular Science.
