I think that if Bellemere had the chance, she would've killed Arlong.
State your reasons below.

If Arlong can survive a fucking CANNON BALL exploding in his mouth, he can handle a rifle, most likely.
He didn't look at all fazed. I don't think he as ever in danger there.
Hm, was this poll approved by the mods? ;) http://ap.animemedia.org/index.php?showtopic=1979
Isn't that question similar to "if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" :lol:
i think he wouldn't be dead at all. now just think of the shovel of 4kids, it's just obvious.

It didn't explode, he bit it. If the rifle was in his mouth, then he definitely would have died. His insides aren't nearly as tough. But then, the Gyojin would have killed everyone in Cocoyashi.
thats a question i keep repeating to my self but as Bucc said if arlong was shot then eveerybody would have been killed
I don't think he would be killed -_-
I have a feeling that it would take more than a meer rifle to bring down Arlong…
Well, he'd might get hurt. And IF Arlong would've died how would the mermen react?
how does one puny bullet take down a massive land breathing shark? i think it takes millions of bullets to pummel down arlong
I agree with thelousy and if Bellemere would have killed Arlong how would Nami meet Luffy? :huh:
If Arlong died, Kuroubi might take charge….though the fishman would raise ALOT of hell.
But then again, no Arlong Empire later on...
Please MAKE SURE to follow the new polling rule: http://ap.animemedia.org/index.php?showtopic=1943
Approved, for now. Voters should write their opinions as well.
I think since Arlong is a shark man, his skin is think enough not to be injured to death. Bellemere would need like… cannon to give him fatal injury.

My thoughts exactly -_- .
Arlong cant be taken down by a rifle, or any marine could.
Nope. he wouldn't have taken damage. he'd spit it out and look cool. then everything would go as it did >_> obviously
I don't know. Sharks interiors are pretty much the same as any animals. Specially since their heart is located right under the jaw.
I mean, if Bellemere would have shot his face, I think Arlong would have been okay. But if she had shot inside his mouth, I don't think he would have been okay. Maybe not dead but he'll be feeling that in the morning, and others to come.
Unless he knows the secret technique of catching bullets with is tongue. :unsure:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Miss White Day. Had it not been inside his mouth, then there was a chance. But the rifle was between his teeth.
About that Moderator thinggy I think this poll is pretty ok since it has room for discussion.
But anyway, as many have said, Arlong will definitely suvvive since he did not even worry about his life when she placed the gun inside his mouth.
At first he seemed suprised. But after she started talking, he started laughing and bit it.
I´d say that he would have taken serious damage (maybe even death). As tough as he might be on the outside on the interior he like ever other being is much more vulnerable. It´s a basic biologic fact. I mean didn´t the Strawhats think that Crocus wanted to kill La Boum from the inside just because he was to strong from the outside? Just another example about at which side the weaker is. :D
Oh yeah and as far as the cannon ball catching thing is concerned. He catched it with his mouth. It´s actually equivalent to movies where character´s catch bullets with their teith. They are always interecepted before they reach the vital parts (of course guys like Superman could let them slip but that´s another story). Appart from the fact that it was intercepted, it didn´t even explode when Arlong was crushing it. I think that should have been clear by seeing that the marines are wondering why it didn´t explode.

I don´t think that this proves anything. He´s just acting cool in that scene. Or are you telling me that Shanks would have survided if that bandid pulled the trigger just because he didn´t worry that a gun was pointed at his head? ;)
I don't think he would have died, now that I think about it all the people in One Piece are pretty much imune to most pain. Think about it Luffy fell a really long ways to the ground an landed right on his head, now that's what I call a broken neck but he was unfazed, same with when he got hit in the head by Alvida.

[OFF-TOPIC]He's a rubberman – blows don't affect him. Even a bullet's force right to a vulnerable area (say, his neck) just bounces off. Hell, a blow that probably had MORE force than a bullet failed to penetrate his body.
A "perfect rubber human" is a good way to describe Luffy. Like rubber, blows don't affect him (unless they're scary strong), including punches, mace hits, and bullets. But! Weapons that slash or pierce still have full effect, because rubber can be cut or punctured. So, in effect, he's a giant, thinking (somewhat) piece of rubber with a helluva punch.[/OFF-TOPIC]
… Who knows? Maybe Arlong would have been killed if Bellemere had gotten a shot off. But, as it stands, we may never know. As I said, if he can survive biting down on a CANNON BALL, explosion and all, then it may be that he's simply impervious to weapons like guns as well.
he didnt really seem to wrroied i think he could of took that ish like a man :)
no way, girls can't aim.
I think yes. Like Buccaner said, he was not in the position to bit the bullet(or else it would be like that HxH´s Ubogin´s scene), it was between his teeth. :blink:
He wasn't worried because at the time she was just threatening him, and he knew he could bite off the gun.
If she had been more than threatening, and had pulled the trigger, the bullet would have gone into his brain and he would die.
That's kinda true I guess but…. a 20 million berry pirate can't be taken out that easily... in my view, if she did try to pull the trigger... Arlong would probably use his speed to chew the damn gun and grab her by the throat... :( (Really pitiful of how she died...)
OK, I guess it´s time again for some Ivotas-logics. Anyone who thinks that Arlong would have survived JUST because he was cool in the situation please explain to what would happened to COOL Shanks if he would have been hit by the bullet in this situation:

I'm not sure about that. He took the Strong Right with no problem.

Crocodile didn't worry the slightest when him and Luffy's second battle started. Doesn't mean Luffy didn't punch him a few seconds later.
I say, yes. The cannonball thing, he caught it with his teeth and bit through it. He didn't get a bullet from the back of his throat.

Not to mention how Luffy acted when he seemed certain that Buggy was about to lop his head off.
Edit: Holy crap thread necromancy anyone?
Depends WHEN she pulled the trigger. Immediately, maybe some severe damage.
If she tried to do it after he bit down, the barrel was likely damaged, and I could see the gun misfiring as a result.

you're right. (16 characters)

Nuff said.
(16 blah-blah-blahs)
The rifle didn't have bullets, Bellemere was too poor to afford them xD
I don't think that Arlong would've died if Bellemere had pulled the trigger. The gun was aimed so that if she had shot, the bullet would've hit the back of his neck, which I don't think would be enough to kill him. Maybe if the gun was aimed at someplace vital, but not where it was aimed in that situation.

That solves this question.
Arlong is way to strong to be killed by Bellemere
I didn't think that the cannon ball ever actually exploded. I don't recall any explosions. He just shattered it with his teeth, but even the Marines who shot the cannon said that there was no explosion.
People keep agreeing on the cannonball and ignoring my post. He caught it in his TEETH in which he then CRUSHED with his TEETH. The cannonball didn't hit the back of his throat nore did it explode.

Thank you for noticing.
For a while there I thought that I was the only one to notice that. I know that at least in the Viz translation, well, see for yourselves.
IGNORING ALL DISCUSSION HAD SO FAR:
If Arlong was shot and lay dead/heavily injured, then the fishman will proceed to the biggest act of brutality ever recorded in East Blue.
EDIT THAT DOESN'T IGNORE ALL DISCUSSION HAD SO FAR:

Lessee… a wimp has a sniper rifle. He goes up to the school bully and shoots him in the head. The wimp just killed the bully.
There was no explosion when he bit the cannonball. The gun was in Arlong's mouth. Had she pulled the trigger, I think it's pretty stupid to say a bullet to the back of Arlong's throat wouldn't have done some damage.
Gol D was supposedly beheaded with spears, right? Even though he was the strongest man in the world, even he can be killed by an ordinary spear. If mundane weapons had no effect on these ridiculously strong people at all, people wouldn't bother using them.
@Roz:

Thank you. I hope people take the fact he caught to with his teeth and it didn't explode into consideration and re-think their choice.
Even at that range, I doubt that the shot would kill him for four reasons.
The already pointed out cannonball feat. The mere fact that the cannonball didn't rip his teeth right out of his gums suggests that Arlong's flesh is pretty resilient.
He picks up an entire building at one point. It doesn't matter how strong his muscles are; if his bones aren't capable of supporting that much weight, his legs and spine would have collapsed.
The mere fact that his repeated usage of Darts doesn't kill him despite the pretty hefty shock that would result from shooting out of the water that fast and then slamming into a building face first. Sure, his nose isn't going to break from it, but that just means that all of the impact is being directly transmitted down his spine.
Fishman are just as capable of living under water as they are on land; deep under water at that. So his body should be able of withstanding several atmospheres worth of pressure.
All this suggests that Arlong is vastly more resilient to damage than a normal human being. Considering his sheer size and the above abilities, we can conclude that his bone structure is pretty damn heavy. Sure, bone lacks tensile strength when compared to compressive strength, but the compressive strength by… what, several orders of magnitude higher than a normal human? So it can be assumed that tensile strength should be quite a bit higher than your average human as well.
In a worst case scenario, she probably cripples him by shooting right through his spinal cord as she clearly wouldn't have hit his brain from that angle. That's provided that the musketball is capable of penetrating the necessary levels of flesh and bone to do so, which I doubt.
Organs are soft
So are mouths
yep
