I am, or at least was, an immature ass.

If the sword isn’t part of any of the lions, I don’t see why the bullet would have to be one of the robot-animal-vehicles.

Large dynamic range is a good thing, in audio and video. There are a number of ways to reduce dynamic range, if you really need to. Expanding dynamic range after capture is possible, too, but more fraught.

Shannon information theory gives us ways to perfectly reconstruct the lower range version from an expanded range version, but it also guarantees that reconstructing the higher range version from a reduced range version cannot be perfectly accurate across all inputs. (Assuming a fixed output range capability.)

Sphinx of the black quartz judge my vow.
