Gee, retard, maybe you should have read the fucking thread to see he's asking WHAT you'd carry, not IF you'd carry.
Jaxon Jones
T. rex was well-adapted to gradual climate change, having attained its large size as a thermoregulation strategy in the face of cooling temperatures.
Far too small.
>.300 Win Mag AR
Okay, that might do it.
Joshua Hill
I don't care if it's historically accurate, feathered dinosaurs look ghey as fuck. I will always think of dinos as they appeared in JP1
Mason Collins
Might as well bring a bb gun, bro.
Nolan Ross
naw, fuck that .300 win mag shit, the one chambered in .338 Lapua. The .50 BMG's little cousin'll do some damage to a T-rex, I'd bet.
Charles Cruz
HK g3, Mossberg shockwave with sabot slugs and USP 40.
Aaron Thompson
Best answer
Justin Ortiz
Sako TRG 42 338 Lapua.
Brody Anderson
>what I would carry
A GM-6 Lynx.
>hardmore: what you own
I think the MG34 would do, 8x57 FMJs should have enough sectional density for dino. If the first round doesn't do it, 49 others might.
Ethan Gonzalez
4 gauge. It's purpose in creation was to immediately stop extremely large game.
Jordan Johnson
>JP1
I like how they keep re using the t-rex roar from the first movie. Shit's iconic as fuck.
Henry Price
Skin impression evidence actually suggests that, despite its direct ancestors being heavily feathered, Tyrannosaurus itself actually lacked feathers or was only lightly feathered with a "mane", having lost the need for them for thermoregulatory reasons. In other words, the Jurassic Park model of T. rex still holds up as being a fairly accurate depiction in the eyes of modern science.
However, dromaeosaur species were just as heavily feathered as modern birds, making the Velociraptors very far out of date. Consider that while hoofing it in Tyrannosaurus' own Hell Creek formation in Late Cretaceous Montana, you might run into Dakotaraptor, a predator that you might underestimate for its fluffy birdlike appearance but is in fact the size and weight of a modern grizzly bear.
Nathan Thompson
I'd carry my 458socom. Probably inadequate, but with some range to start shooting from, a few mags to swap though, I might could maybe hurt it. Some.
Luis Cook
SPAS-12 and comfy shorts. Clever girl.

An M107 with low magnification optic, maybe a 4x. I bet it would be able to take one down with a full mag.
Nolan Adams
There was a greentext where some safari hunter listed a bunch of dinosaur species and what he'd use to hunt each one. I think he said he'd hunt velociraptors in teams with 12-gauge shotguns
Hudson Wilson
A bigger T-Rex
Benjamin Rivera
a modified rpg rocket, i'd pour a castable or plastic explosive (either tnt or gelignite) into the cone (represent by the white blob on the rocket) and i'd epoxy a large chunk of led behind the nose (represented by white ball) this chunk of lead will by forced through the tyrant lizard by the explosion like a ballistic tip, and make it deader
David Wilson

Somebody never served...
Nathan Parker
Werent there some guy who proved (or provided strong evidence) that a 9mm thought the leg joint would do the trick? on this same thread a while back
Evan Jackson
Oh and 950 jdj because taylor knockout.
As long as i didnt have to move that beast around
Adam Gomez
.45-70 lever gun of some description.
Then my dick.
Jordan Gonzalez
45-70 and a 40mm single shot grenade launcher
Isaac Powell
A 9mm would bring down a bear, too, in theory. You don't see many people in bear country carrying 9mm, though.
Oliver Allen
If it had to be something I own then my PTR is the biggest I have. Otherwise I’d go with some 20mm AT rifle
Jaxon Reyes
Regular tyrannosaurus or sexual tyrannosaurus?
If the later I'm going with a plasma caster.
Justin Myers
>4 gauge
David Murphy
SMAW
Eli Gomez
Irrelevant. The gist of it if i can remember correctly was that their bones are hallow like birds and one shot to their knee would fracture and destroy the whole joint rendering it unable to move. A single shot to the large knee (hypothetically from stealth) is a lot easier to pull off than magically bringing down a charging bear with one 9mm. The reason people dont carry 9mm for bears is because one shot most likely wont stop it so why put yourself at risk when you can carry something with more oomphf that will put it down it one or two shots. If one 9mm shot will bring down a trex why carry any more than you have to
Dominic Thompson
better picture, green is extra explosive black is the lead chunk/balistic tip

Nolan Peterson
A double rifle in 577 tyrannosaur. A 750gr bullet at ~2500fps should put a hurt on anything that has ever walked the earth.
Maybe 416 rigby if i couldn't shoot a 577 well
Ayden Butler
Landmine.

Christian Long
For reference, even by fairly conservative estimates a fully grown Tyrannosaurus rex weighed around twenty times more than the largest grizzly bears, or twice the weight of a bull African elephant. Not only was its skull exceptionally thick, but it also had oversized scapula bones that could potentially protect the vital organs if shot from the front.
Choices in .308 and above could reasonably do quite well, assuming time to deliver multiple aimed shots to vital areas. Anti-materiel calibers like 12.7mm, 14.5mm and above would almost certainly do the job. However, keep in mind that Tyrannosaurus lived in a forested subtropical environment, and thus setting up a weapon in the style of a Lahti 20mm might not be the best option like it might be in an open space.
>their bones are hallow like birds
This is a common misconception. Dinosaur bones, and thus those of modern birds, are hollow, but they are proportionally denser and thus stronger than those of mammals to compensate. The bones of small birds are fragile simply as a function of scale.
Sneaking to a distance that provides a clear shot to the legs also might be difficult considering an animal that by all indications had a very powerfully developed sense of smell.
Luke Nelson
That doesn't look very scary. More like a six foot turkey.
Gavin Martin
Mares leg for its short LOP.
Lucas Wright
Anything 20mm and above. I’m a big guy (4u) so I’m willing to lug it. Preferably an A-10 and multiple TAC Ps.
Connor Hernandez
>20mm not best option. My dude, I’m the hunter, I decide where to engage, I’m not going to stalk a T-Rex.
Aaron Green

Well ACKSHULLY...
But if you hit the dinosaur with enough .22 lr rapid fire you might get lucky.. Wouldn't bet on it.
Dominic Gonzalez
Binocular vision. Humans are naturally hard-wired to find it unsettling because it represents danger, it's a trait common to all of our natural predators (ourselves included.) Most T. rex depictions are from the side, to play up its reptilian traits and show off just how huge its jaws are, but seeing it from the front tips your subconscious off to "this is a thing that could eat me."

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I get the same feeling with your picture.
Matthew Butler
It's the same kind of reaction you get from having something scuttle over your hand or walking into a dark room and seeing something like a coat on a rack that resembles a human silhouette. That kind of instinctual fear kept some of your ancestors alive.
Easton Wright
I have a question could a human service in that time the armoaphare and oxygen levels back then would probably be lot different then now

Sorry for all the questions, but I just need to make sure you aren't a retard.
John Nguyen
You don't really need any weapons to beat a t-rex. You just need to stand still.
Adam Stewart
This, a hot .45-70 load can kill any animal on earth today, so it'll at least feel it. Plus, brush guns are easy to carry around.
Dylan Diaz
pretty much the same reason owls looks so damn creepy, compared to other birds.
Both eyes pointed forward, is something only found in predators. And when both eyes point at you, you're the prey.
Imagine a rhino. A pretty huge and scary animal already, they could fuck up anyone. Put their eyes closer together, so they're both pointing forward, rather than to the sides. Now they're fucking terrifying.

What's more fucked is that hypothetically, Rexes and other dinos of the like probs would have movements more closely to birds on the ground like chickens or pigeons.
>Implying the bastard would be staring at you the entire time its charging you

Giant prehistoric birds are terrifying in context
Nathan Ortiz
One RPG 22, that Serbian lightweight .50 cal rifle, PTRS 41, the choice is yours. Although the PTRS is a heavy fuck.
Landon Evans

The T rex has a pretty similar skull to the african elephant ballistics wise. So basically any thing that's currently being used by povo poachers and above will work just fine
Jason Hill
The problem with hunting a T-Rex, is the fucking velociraptors that you might encounter, fuck velociraptors, i would rather fight any other thing than a pack of velociraptors
Noah Jones
Seriously, how fucking many arteries would it have in its throat and tongue? Deserves a How it should have ended treatment.
Jacob Price
In the book Muldoon used a m202 flash if I rember correctly for raptors
Easton Parker
The meteor didn't kill the dinosaurs. It was the Ice Age that followed it. Being big is bad in cold weather if one has no internal means of heating the body, because a big body that gets cold will stay cold for longer.
Angel Rodriguez
.338 lapua bolt action with armor piercing rounds
I figure a headshot would penetrate the skull and drop it instantly.
Gabriel Hall
I'd fuck it
"And if fuck it with a frying pan and a pressure washer"

Someone actually read Jurassic Park, though iirc Muldoon used an M202 FLASH and an M72 with a similar ballistic warhead for anything bigger than a coelophysis

Something like this, honestly.

Dinosaurs never existed, but for a trex I would use either a 300 win mag AR or an AA12 with slugs.
