Whales go deep, and they are quite vulnerable to bullets (well, aside from the shooting into water problem).  The engineering requirements to stomp around Tokyo do not need to include "being bullet proof" for free.Note, I am not arguing that a movie maker can't say the monster is also bullet proof.  I'm quibbling that just because you built a giant monster using advanced technology doesn't mean the materials, strength, etc include bullet proofing for free.  Our planet is chock full of critters with tough shells, skin, etc and ain't none of them bullet proof or even proof from their own attacks.I am more inclined to believe the monster is "just strong enough" to do move around and fight, but not much more. Like pretty much every other critter.</blockquote>
