Knowing what we know now, what are some readily available firearms and weaponry a civilian in America could obtain if they were trying to destroy a T-800 Terminator?

AR15 with XM855 Green Tip
none, with the way movie portrayed, short of something like .50 BMG or some type of shaped charge, both of which are not readily available for civies, the terminator is basically invulnerable.
50 cal rifle. A single shot to the head should be enough to end it.
An AR-18 and UZI
How do you think a S&W .500 would do at close range?
The T-800 was a later war prototype. We'd mostly be dealing with HKs and T-600s, which are easily taken down.
this guy vs some fudds with 22-250s
Very big magnets.
22 lr to the dome
.50bmg is readily available to civilians.
My dick.
Wait for it's software to automatically update. When it freezes up as Windows updates, pull it's batteries out through it's butt. Reach far up it's butt.
.50 BMG or maybe .458 Lott to the face or those complex messes of hydraulics and motors bellow the collar. IEDs are proven to be effective, lure him into a confined space with a pre-set trap and blow his legs off.
If Deus Ex is anything to go by, 10mm is a pretty good choice
>all these gun autists trying to shoot it
>not luring it to a scrapyard and turning on the big car magnet
Brainlets.
First reply is always best reply.
We aren't looking to disable a CNS. We need to sever hydrologic hoses. That's all.
Nice, how much did those cost?
M-72 LAW. Or an industrial shotgun with a solid slug.

This guy gets it.
>industrial shotgun
What would industrial applications of a shotgun be?
Are Terminators vulnerable to EMPs, or would their skeleton act as a Faraday Cage?
Nigger Annihilation
The link gives the specific example of knocking unwanted crap off the sides of kilns
My first plan would be to jerry rig a shaped charge with some hard drive magnets. If I couldn't get that ready in time I'd just pump green tips into the knees and elbows to try and fuck up the hydraulics where it would be difficult to armour them.
The T-800 seems pretty much impervious to small arms fire. The T-800 walked simply walked through a shower of .38 Special, 9x19mm, 5.56x45mm and 12 gauge. The 2029 resistance fighters used H&K G3s with little effect against the T-800, therefore it is safe to assume that battle rifles are also pretty much useless. Therefore, to take out a T-800, I assume one'd need heavier weapons (12.7x99mm, 40x46mm, RPGs, etc.).
I'm going to assume that their armor will be roughly equivalent to the best AR500 plates on the market , so I'd probably go for a semi-auto .300 win mag loaded up with AP ammo.
They use them to blast the slag off of the insides of giant furnaces and kilns. You can find videos on YT pretty easily.
A truck
Failing that, a truck bomb in contact with target
Jesus FUCK that thing is an abomination what the unholy shit
So, like a 50 BMG in a 16 inch CQB configuration? Ouch.
Shoot kneecaps with 8mm.
Fuck
Thermite attached to middle of the back with magnets. No way Arnold had the flexibility to reach it.
Would melt through the spinal cord, as long as your in an open space a crawling terminator is easy enough to deal with
so many movies set in the future model their guns after the AUG so I mean what can you expect other than an ugly pos
Some good examples to draw from are from the early scenes from Terminator 4. A T600 is tough and mobile as fuck and utterly terrifying.
youtube.com
Conner unloaded half a mag of 9mm into the face of that T600 then shot a long burst of 7.62 NATO from an M60 from up close at the robot's head before killing it.
youtube.com
Here, we see another T600 taking literally 2 shots of 5.56 up close, in the head before dying. To be fair, the robot was already hurting bad. Additionally, an HK is unloaded on by half a squad (like 4 guys) all armed with 5.56 rifles, up close. They all unloaded about half a mag into the head and center mass.
It's somewhat inconsistent. We can't assume the resistance would use hollow points, that would be dumb as fuck. At the very least, ball or FMJ would be used. Ideally, the most effective form of AP possible would be used by all soldiers. Though, that might be difficult to accomplish logistically. Maybe the AR's had AP while the M60 have FMJ.
I would like to add that the T600s and HKs often act really fucking dumb in these movies. That HK in the tunnels absolutely had the drop on the raiders and should have wiped them all out. That one T600 that attacked Conner should have been able to rip his insides out or crush him, rather than just throwing him.
Also, T4 had a weird love for A10s and Hueys, not that I mind. Though none of them lasted long in combat.
Some more things to note, based on other depictions.

Conner's wife-to-be unloads half a mag of 7.62x39 from an AK into an early mini-hk at a fairly short range before it dies.

The fight against Skynet is typically a guerrilla fight. Ambushes and explosives must be used to ensure some kind of success. Only way late into the war are more conventional tactics able to be used.
Early in the war, humanity must rely on heavy weapons and fire support assets to achieve any sort of success in battle and furthermore must choose their fights.
Only later are they able to steal man portable energy weapons that are much better at killing robots, then they are able to fight more conventionally. Ironically, this means Skynet also has an abundance of energy weapons that are better at killing humans. Also ironically, Skynet is more powerful and larger during the middle years of the war.
The future war is depicted as fucking horrifying.
Black children and ak47's.
Many.
Skynet triggered a nuclear exchange which resulted in massive EMP waves...before unleashing its machines...SO I'm supposing they are EMP resistant.
In Terminator Salvation they take out a terminator with a single well placed shot of armor piercing .50 bmg.
>5.56 and 7.62 doing jack shit to the metal parts
And that is part of the reason why we don't really give a fuck about any movie past the first two. I mean c'mon now, T3 went out of its way from the very start to tell you not to take anything seriously any more. Take the hint, it ain't subtle.
>5.56 and 7.62 doing jack shit to the metal parts
don't they have liek at least a whole centimeter AP penetration? Thats quite a bit against things like joints, optics and weak spots
Based on the first two movies, everything up to 12ga buck and 5.56 fmj does absolutely nothing to the T800, It's somewhat consistent.
Something tells me Skynet ain't exactly building the murderbots out of RHA. I mean it is a fully sapient AI sending likewise AI-controlled, fusion-cell powered murderbots back in time. A few metallurgical advances may have happened while it was at it. Something about the second movie in particular seems to suggest that. But then I guess they switched the target audience to a bunch of wankers who wanted to daydream about being the badass hero killing metal zombies by the truckload, and here we are.
Bucket of paint would apparently suffice. When these guys don't have a visual, they can't do shit.
Actually I wouldn't be shocked if they were much more accurate than humans firing on someone based on audio only
308 or 30-06 solid core ap rounds might have a good chance of punching the armor but it wouldn't be a guarantee. Your best bets unless you can get a Ma Deuce is to hit it with enough fire power to break the hydraulics servos and joints. Try to Immobilize it and then slap a satchel charge on him.
They were capable of hearing, judging by the movies. I do not think that they were established as being particularly good at it.
They can at least record and generate high quality voice imitation for people they hear and being computers and all, would expect them being capable of estimating the distance from analyzing sounds alone, also things like speed and direction by doppler analysis
a pipe bomb would blow it up
some tannerite claymores could get it done too.
a shotgun with incernary armor piercing slugs might do the trick
a desert eagle to the head
a beowulf ar 15 upper or a 458 socom with 300 grain rounds to the head or battery.
How's the eighth grade going?

load up 14 of them in a 40 round pmag and go to down on the t-800

A phased plasma rifle in the 40W range.
I saved this image; thank you user.
What was the original Animu this came from?
How the fuck can you kill one of these by conventional means
T1000? There's no evidence you could. They didn't try magnetic or information based attacks, ionising radiation, or caustics though. No idea if/how those would work either, but it's all you're left with aside from accidentally driving into a steelworks.
I never knew this was a thing, and it's amazing. I want one.
acid, lots of thermite in a trap, or (maybe) electrical attacks.
Explosives should disrupt any information processing what so ever
Someone had to say it.
>readily available firearms and weaponry
>plasma rifle
If forcible shattering via freezing doesn't slow it down that much, and a 40mm detonating INSIDE it was only a staggering blow, I think you'd have to go way outside the usual definition of "civilian" munitions before explosives worked. Direct tank hit, minimum.
they melted a T1000 with acid in genisys, for whatever thats worth.
In latest terminator, genisys, they takedown arnie with a 50bmg
>If forcible shattering via freezing doesn't slow it down that much
low temperatures help maintain computing state and preserving memory
they took one down with 50bmg in sarah connor chronicles as well
>9mm guns vs. armored target
they got him with a shotgun to the dome
Just what you see on the shelves, pal
and who is going to operate the big magnet if you have no friends?
youtube.com
libery civil defense 9mm is better than
best thing would be a combination of a cheap 50 cal like a serbu or one those bolt action .50 bmg ar uppers, tannerite after all kyle reese was able to blow it in half with just a pipe bomb now imagine a trap involving 20-30 pounds of tannerite. and for simply plinking at it m855 wouldnt do anything, what you would need steel core or real ap full power rifle cartridges like 30-06 or 54r since ap is still legal with those.
They do start young don't they?
12 gauge slugs
Hard cast 3" 12 gauge slugs.
>When the human resistances gives up their guns and starts using trucks.
Anything can be killed with a significant amount of dynamite. Raid a mine or quarry, lure them in, and blow them to scrap.
A muzzleloading cannon, user.
>.458
>against armor
spotted the noguns
This is a good answer.
Not as well as .45 acp
