    Another thing about the fact that they can't actively shoot them : because older quills have a weak bond with the skin , when the animal does a sudden fast movement (such as turning) the old quills can sometimes detach themselves and thus the porcupine "shoots" them , that is why it was belived that they could shoot them as will , they can of course "shoot" them, but is accidentaly more than anything

      So if they had adapted some sort of special muscles in the pores of these quills, they could potentially and actually become a walking Gun?

    Fun story from when I worked in EMS. I walked into a patient's home and they had a porcupine in their living room. Out of the corner of my eye I thought it was a boar.. so I looked wondering wtf, and nope it was a freaking huge porcupine. Lol I had them put it out. I definitely didn't need to freak it out or accidentally run into it while moving the stretcher. Lol 😂 it was an African porcupine in rural Mississippi just chilling next to some pit bulls in someones living room.
