Then hwo do they tranq bears and meese and stuff? The same concept could eb applied to a DMSO bullet. Anyways, all firearms have an inherent risk of causing death. Rubber bullet crush skulls and such. I figure there's less chance with a bullet filled with DMSO and some tranquilizer.

They estimate the weight of the animal and choose what they also estimate as the appropriate dosage. Of course, the animals rarely fall immediately. Most of the time, for the safety of the animal, they end up shooting it multiple times with lesser dosages.

Average weight of a human male- 200 pounds. A three round burst of dosages for a 50 pound or 75 pound male brings them down. That, or jsut do the whole thing in one shot and keep them down for awhile. Sniper usage, maybe, along with a breachign team?

Why are we going around killing people when we can tranqualize them, I am sure we probably have drugs that on contact can knock you out, I know in some cases a police officer might be confronted with a situation where he can't take a chance but in many cases shooting them with a dart that on contact puts them down and out on contact would be just as effective.
