Dolphins with Knives, not Sharks with Lasers

Quote:Can you imagine a pistol-wielding dolphin squeaking out “Go ahead, make my day?” Does that make you sad? Well, we’re sorry, but we’re not here to throw a party for the fantasy world you wished you lived in. We’re here to tell you that the Ukrainian military is training dolphins how to kill people.

Quote: The program includes other military shit dolphins are good at and have already done, like searching for mines and marking them with buoys.

This is nothing new.

The U.S. Navy have been training dolphins since the 60s.

Yeah, but it's Ukraine. And pistols.

Maybe this should have gone in humor.

I can imagine an easy lever system attached to their mouths that could act to pull the guns trigger, I would question the dolphin's ability to discern proper targets though. Also there is an aquaman phenomenon here. So, um, how often would dolphins with guns be needed anyway? The active range of a gun underwater is dismal.
