IDK, but I suspect a 50cal BMG would piss it off. I'd rather have a 20mm to reach it's vitals. Regardless, just in case it didn't work, I want some kind of vehicle at ready to escape quick. LOL

The Raptors, 45-70 would probably take care of but I'd want M134.

Gold ‘ol 105mm howitzer should serve the purpose. Maybe a 40MM automatic grenade launcher in a pinch 😂😂😂. I know/have met more than one gentleman that bought an SBL because of the dinosaur movie you mention.

 

If ya can sneak up on em and shine a lite in their eyes, they freeze up for a moment. 22lr right behind the ear. Drops 'em every time.

 

Well...it is common knowledge that from 1895 thru 1984....more Dinosaurs were killed cleanly
with a lever action 30-30 win....that all other calibers combined

 

I am a geologist with minors in paleontology and zoo. One way to consider a T-Rex or similar critter is that they were giant chickens, with big teeth and probably a bad attitude. Their bones were at least partially hollow so despite being quite large, they were not all that heavily built as some might consider. A Bear Load .45-70 should put one down. But to stop a charging T-Rex I would want Ruger to make me a lever gun in .577 Tyrannosaur and since that is a 60,000 psi cartridge making over 10,000 fpe we gonna need a new action considerably stronger than an 1895 and probably a gas piston recoil control in the stock so that it does not dislocate or break the shoulder.

 

I would prefer the sabot round out of a M1A Abrams. It would penetrate a T-Rex from end to end and take care of anything behind it too.

 

That would work but I would think a HEAT round would make more b of a mess

 

The .45/70 is not gunna work on the Texas Heart shot.

 

Leg shots are the way to go on a T-Rex. The knee joint is their weak point. You can try to hit them in the eyes if attempting a head shot, otherwise you’ll be wasting ammo as their skulls are very thick surrounding a very small brain, much like your typical congressional representative.

 

Yeah I like the leg shot, cap the knee and it goes down. A Sonia Harding capping, like she had done to a rival figure skater.

 

As long as it works on a Sasquatch I'm good.
I'll take my chances with T-Rex...

 

LOL. I must confess, I bought my SBL because I watched Jeremy Renner carry one in a movie set in Wyoming. It's Ruger made. I've only put 9 rounds through it so far and I love it.

 

Wind River, that’s why I want one, I kind of even want the Remlin version to be even more true to the movie. It’s one of my favorites but wow it’s a heavy watch. The way he cleans it up at the end though is just too good.

 

Save

Or just wait around a bit.

 

I’m not formally educated in dinosaurs, but like many young boys I studied ALL things dinosaur. And a previous comment nailed it, they’re basically big chickens. Raptors weren’t near the size portrayed in the movies either. If you hit the field with your .30-06 or .45-70 a T-Rex would be no problem. And some 3.5” magnum 00 Buck out of a 12 gauge would probably liquify a velociraptor, but the other 6-7 would continue being a problem

 

Put that 430 grain right behind those front limbs and he will go down.



A few minutes after eating you.

Oh wow, I had not known the liver was in such a vulnerable position. Imagine putting a 12 clug into that liver; the blood trail would be easy to follow.

 

Handy information!

 

Apparently cosplay is a thing and I did not even know what it was, had to look it up. People dress up as popular characters including all of the accouterment. Weird, I have a hard enough time being me. Chris Pratt is one of the guys all of the simps want to be and here is their carry rifle for cosplay for Jurassic Park and Chris Pratt:




I dunno, something seems missing .

 

The see through mounts and 20mm scope is the only thing I see missing from this obvious Marlin SBL

 

45/70 probably better for a T-Rex, I've had good luck with smaller dinosaurs like velociraptors with my 444 and .305 hardcast

 

HMMM I wonder what it would taste like.

A very large Chicken

 

Chicken...

Everything always tastes like chicken.
Get the frier out.

Wonder what people explained what chicken tastes to someone who never ate one. Hmmm, tastes like frog legs.

 

Seeing how some inuit used to dispatch whales with a 50-110, I'm sure the ole' 45-70 would dispatch a t Rex WITH THE PROPER BULLET.

 

 

There is only about 65.999 million years missing between cavemen and pterodactyls, just saying. Cute commercial .

 

The jury is out on how fast a T-Rex could run. Somewhere between 15MPH and 35MPH but with much disagreement. Nobody would think, never having seen a living bear, just by looking at the bones how fast they can run or how agile they are. I suspect there would be some surprises if we ever do get to meet up with a T-Rex or any of it's dino mates.

Still, if I had time to dump a full magazine tube of Garrett Penetrators in the darn thing I think it would know something bad had just happened.

 

A vehicle mounted 40mm automatic grenade launcher would be my first choice, if something bigger wasn't available.

 

(Hypothetical Game) Using a Barrett 107A1: Multiple, well placed hits with a RAUFOSS MK211 rounds could work.
Theory: T-Rex can't chase and eat you if the leg joints and eyes are destroyed...

Sure, The Marlin .45-70 with the right load could work too. But I wouldn't want to be that close to it to find out I was wrong. No, I'll stick with the Barrett 107A1 and several mags of the MK211 rounds.

Old Creek

 

Oh crap we can't forget about Rambo's bow with exploding tip arrows....... blow his leg clean off he can't chase you any more

 

Still and all, I have to lay here with the back pains and pains in the left arm and I have to wonder about that one (the second dino movie ?) in which there was a bald guy with a really nice looking double rifle. I never learned from the movie what caliber it was. It looked like something about a .470 Nitro Express, something like that. A big British piece of artillery. However, since then I have watched some YouTube videos about .45-70 technically improved bullets and loads being tested against old and rancid pork butt meat. Wow, the solid brass projectiles with hot loads are really something to see in action.

There is an IMDB style website that is a huge database of guns in movies. For instance, if you want to know what guns were used in A Fist Full of Dollars, or a list of movies and TV shows where a Steyer AUG was used, that can be easily found out. it's called IMFDB or Internet Movie Firearms Database.
