Do poriepine shot quiles?

It seems there may be a typographical error in your question. If you are asking whether porcupines shoot quills, the answer is no; porcupines do not shoot their quills. Instead, they have quills that detach easily when a predator makes contact, which can embed in the predator's skin. Porcupines use this defense mechanism to deter threats rather than actively shooting their quills.
