Tanks bullets and tranquilizer

Lieutenant Ogata’s Apache attack helicopter dived out of the sky toward the lumbering monster called Godzilla.  He depressed the button on the control stick and the whole aircraft shuddered as the chin-mounted chain gun erupted.  A stream of steel-jacketed shells slammed into Godzilla’s body.
Behind the lieutenant, the weapons officer depressed a trigger and, one by one, all sixteen missiles left their pods and struck.
Godzilla bellowed in rage.  Fire danced across the creature’s chest as the missiles hit his hide.  There was no explosion--nor did Ogata expect any.
