Jurrasic World?

[nelson84]

Just watched that Jurrasic World and not sure why they had such small calibre rifles to take out dinosaurs? I would have thought they would have had some high powered weapons i case one got loose, better yet implant a bomb in the dinosaur and just click a button.

But seriously they had nothing except that 1 anti tank weapon. Just one I guess there isn't more than one big dinosaur, one shot one kill.

The next Jurassic amusement park I hope the step it up a notch.

Alright movie though could have been more to it than hiding from a dinosaur and running.

How many dinos have you taken out?



Exactly....i took out 2...technically 1.

First was getting mauled by a pack of raptors...and i just put it down out of its misery.

The other was a 15ft triceratops i took down with a muzzleloaded .50cal right between the horns.

Uhhhhh......it was a movie.

What did you expect? It was "Dinosaurs Eating People 4.0" - my wife and I were pretty accurate in our guesses as to who was going to be eaten within the first 10 minutes of the movie! As totally mindless entertainment, it was pretty good.

I don't know - Marlin .45-70 with some modern Hornady lever action rounds might mess a dinosaur up. "It's all about shot placement...." I think you'd rather have something like an African elephant stopper - .458 Lott, etc. A big African elephant is nearly dinosaur sized.

It was a pretty silly movie. Besides that's not the most stupid thing.
The Jeep starting and driving with just a new battery after rotting in a jungle for decades was the true leap of sci fi!

I had forgotten about that - but I do remember that scene straining my credulity at the time.

Hell, the fact that it was a Jeep that started at all, new or old, is what I found most unbelievable about that scene.

[Fastattack]

Watching it only made me want that 45-70 even more. Damn.
Then the guy shot the thing and it had your predictable Hollywood *zero* recoil.
OK, but I still want it.

.50 BMG minimum for those. Maybe .500 S&W for CCW in the park.😜

[TeddyBallgame]

like anything else i think it probably comes down to shot placement

Exactly. I dropped my last T-Rex with my NAA .22 short. From 100 yards. No problem. One shot, one kill!

[bsg]

not unlike dealing with the black bear in the great outdoors, firearms are not necessary when encountering a t-rex. a loud cowbell and a can of Raid should keep you safe.

[hermosabeach]

Really-

With all that was WRONG with the movie... the caliber is your concern....

[blackberg]

Hollow point BMG?
