I kind of appreciate how far out of its way the caption goes to avoid saying that Aquaman shot someone. He pulls the trigger, sure, but who are we to say that the bang or the scream are necessarily results. Correlation isn't always causation.
It's harder to appreciate the use of a gun, when there are so many more creative ways that a man who can tear apart a submarine with his bare hands can kill someone. Talk about lazy...
"He pulls the trigger, sure, but who are we to say that the bang or the scream are necessarily results." And, in fact, Aquaman is not shooting anyone; it's just a typical Golden Age trick.

This was before Aquaman discovered the joys of capturing his foes in humiliating ways, and making sure their fellow prisoners know all about it.
