OK, they're native hunters, allowed a certain limit of whale kills, though limited to certain methods, which seem to exclude .50 caliber MGs and - I would guess - Shkval torpedoes, too.

But that's about it.

Eye for an eye here?...break out the 50 cals..throw em in the sea, and let the games begin...a holes dang.

.50 caliber machine guns aren't that common among civilians. More likely it was shot with a bolt action .50 caliber.

This site and a few others say it was a high-powered Weatherby rifle. So it was probably a .460 Weatherby Magnum. A harpoon and 21 shots. Maybe they should have used a Shkval torpedo if they are that bad.
