My soon to be two year old has discovered Barney the Purple Dinosaur. Barney, for those of you that might not know, can get to you after 15-20 viewings of the same cassette. I was thinking penetration tests with the 9mm and 45ACP to try to dispel the bigger is better crowd. Big as he is, I think Barney would hang in there for a few boxes. :evil:

[SquirrelNuts]

I would use a 12 ga 3" slug.

-SquirrelNuts

[AZTOY]

BMG 50:evil:

[coonan357]

on the barney we found in the trash it took seveal direct hits with a 12 gauge with 7 bird shot a few slugs and finally some tannerite to finish him off .... :D

[cool45auto]

I'm thinking something with an incendiary (sp?) round.:evil:

[Rembrandt]

....brave people here....shooting a purple T-Rex with a 9mm, .45, 12 gauge.....think I'd go with the 50BMG.

[Pocket Pistol]

So fr my 2 yr old does not know Barney and won't if we have anything to say about it.
Besides I like Elmo :)

What to shoot Barney with?
So far it sounda like he is tough so forget the small stuff

105mm Howetizer :)

[Darrin]

First a few of these: http://www.azweapons.com/AmmoPics/doubletrouble.gif

Then a couple of these: http://www.azweapons.com/AmmoPics/pitbull.gif

Finally the finish with: http://www.azweapons.com/AmmoPics/napalm.gif

he , he he

Had a single mom taking her CCW range quals. Having a bit of a time ...until I tacked up a Barney target. Whoa!! She nailed that sucker, but good.

I guess my astonishment prompted her " You listen to a so and so Barney tape for 6 hours on a road trip...":D

[coonan357]

I love you ... I love me... arrrrrrggggghhhhh !!!!! BLAM <BLAM < BLAM !!!!!!! Got him.:D

[Kharn]

Dragon's Breath in a 12 gauge. Foam rubber burns REAL well. :evil:

Kharn

[P95Carry]

One round of 12G double aught buck should settle things!:D

[Soap]

Call me a sadist but a pair of brass knuckles would be just fine for me.

[winstonsmith]

Set the old Barnster in the middle of flat terrain. Like a desert, or a tundra. Then set up camp maybe 100 yards away with a BMG .50 cal, and an AT4 with a white phosphor round.

Shoot him a few times in the legs and arms so he flops around in the sand/snow. Then let him stay there for a little while. Then shoot him with phosphor round.

Anybody up for some cooked dino?

[Phyphor]

A chainsaw.....forget the 2 stroke motor, let's rig a V-8 454 big block to it, too.....

[AR-10]

50 cal all the way, BABY!!!!

If you look real hard, there is an internet shooting game floating around that lets you shoot Barney. If you hit him, and start bump firing, the results are very soothing. :D

[mrtgbnkr]

Well, considering that we are talking about wacking a dinosuar here...how about the .577 Tyranosaur? If you've never seen one fired take a look at www.accuratereloading.com and visit their video section. Should take care of that purple menace in short order.

[The Silver Bullet 1719]

I think an SAR-1 with a 75 round drum would suffice :D

[spawningseed]

Barney, 2 to the chest, 1 to the head, ex barney

[winstonsmith]

A big welcome to you spawningseed!

[rock jock]

I hate to say it, but Barney is starting to grow on me. This can't be good for my intellect.

[J Miller]

Well, here's a target to practice on while your trying to tear that horrible purple thing away from the little one.

[Guyon]

I love this question.

I think I'd go with .22 LR and just wing the sucker to death.

A .50 caliber from a muzzleloader would make a satisfying thud on impact though.

[AR-10]

J Miller

Now there you go! That's what this site is all about. Sharing experiences that will better us all. I now have a Burning Desire to go to the range tomorrow and utilize the new targets I have downloaded. :)

[SquirrelNuts]

Daniel Flory <-=- Sadist.

-SquirrelNuts

[Hardtarget]

the higher the "splatter quotient" the BETTER!
Think MASSIVE ! and don't hesitate. :D
Mark.

[kalibear45]

A 300gr .44 magnum slug should do the trick :evil:

[larryw]

For a one-shot kill, set the remote to "off". No pinko, wimpy purple dinos in this house! :barf:

[Gunner45]

Oh come on guys,........I can't belive no one listed the .577 Tyranasaur. :)


Gunner45

[enichols]

Flamethrower.

[Feanaro]

I'm thinking a 700 Nitro Express to the head, just to be sure.

[KC]

I have done this, great way to relieve tension.
I personally reccomend a few .45-70 slugs, followed by a magazine or two of .308. Be careful though; the wind will likely pick up the tattered shreds, making cleanup problematic. A small can of tomato paste surgically inserted in the subject's torso prior to exection will reduce this undesireable scattering effect. But oh, the splatter...

Good Times.



KC

[rick458]

I will second the Flame thrower
as for the .577 Tyranosaur I thought Barney was the one who was supposed to die not us

[SquirrelNuts]

You could drag him through a minefield. Tie some fishing line to his neck and see how good his EOD skills are.

-SquirrelNuts

[Sleeping Dog]

Let me see if I can attach something relevant to sing along with ...

[foghornl]

Up close, I would suggest the "Dragon's Breath" 12 Ga load. Longer distance, probably some .30 Cal incendiary rounds.

[Brian Williams]

106 recoiless with flechette round, tap the 50 cal spotter a few times and then stand aside and let the 106 recoiless do the jobhttp://www.lssr.ca/firing.jpg

[axeman_g]

As a father of a 30 month old, I understand your pain.

I think Barney deserves a quick, clean killing shot. In a classic sort of way, I would personally like to use some sort of European Drilling on him.

The Wiggles on the other hand get this treatment ... every single one of the cast members....

This is an old Persian execution method. Take the condemd (sp?) and slice open both palms of their hands (or paws???). Pour salt into the wound, stick their finger tips into the cuts. Then bind the persons hands into fists with leather. Then soak their hands in water long enough so the leather will shrink tight around their fists.

Infection will set in about three days later. The fingernails will continously grow into the wound, keeping it from healing, creating more infection and agonizing pain. Eventually gangrene will set in and spread up both arms. The victim will usually die in extreme pain approximatley 30 days later.

I save this special treatment for very deserving individuals. The Wiggles qualify.

[Reloader]

My son almost got expelled in 5th grade for singing:

"I hate you
you hate me
I shot Barney happily
A shot rang out and
Barney hit the floor!
No more purple dinosaur!"

NO sense of humor in schools anymore, even if he did sing it to the kindergarten classes................:neener:

[Wombat]

RPG

Definite one shot stop. A little messy, but most satisfying. :D

[GhostShooter]

Well I was going to say a dull butter knife but after reading axeman's post :uhoh: .... um..... I think I'll *heads for door* be seeing ya.
:D

[Neal Bloom]

My bare hands would suffice! Few things raise my blood pressure as that thing. I thank the heavens my two kids grew out of it.

[shermacman]

I like the Mother Earth method: small mammals with sharp teeth ripping at the flesh until extinct. No guns, no explosives, totally natural, totally organic!

[mtnbkr]

I think I'd go with .22 LR and just wing the sucker to death

Darn, you beat me to it. That's exactly what I'd do. Buy a brick of ammo and a 10/22 and spend the day sniping barney. Even better if I get to stalk him through the woods while doing it :evil:

[TheFrontRange]

For just one horrible second I thought this thread was some sort of recipe for knocking off none other than Barney Fife, M.D. (Mayberry Deputy).

I knew that such was not in keeping with the standards here at THR and I'm sure most if not all members here would rush to the backup of our favorite small-town lawman, especially since he'd be trying and probably fumbling to speed-load that one round into his .38! :)

Viva Fife!

[CZ-75]

155mm or larger.

All I want to find is a purple smear 20 yards long.

[stevelyn]

Two pounds of C-4. However since that's not easy to come by, an open area, ten feet of cannon fuse, a roll of duct tape, two cans of GOEX, a lifeboat match and reliable transportation.:evil:

[Mute]

I'd prefer a baseball bat so that death will be slow and painful.

[pax]

Best way to kill Barney is to stop buying his products.

Oh, yeah, and turn off the TV.

pax

No. -- first word learned by a toddler, last word learned by toddler's parents

[Gus Dddysgrl]

I would go for the baseball bat idea, but I am better with a field hockey stick. Besides I've hit people(on accident) with mine and it didn't break. I've seen fewer hockey sticks broken then baseball bats.

Gus

PS Once we get rid of Barney are there any other annoying charaters on TV we should get rid of?

[Darrin]

PS Once we get rid of Barney are there any other annoying charaters on TV we should get rid of? If I ever bothered to turn my TV on, I'm sure I could cook up quite a list for ya. ;)

I only know of Barney because of my newphew's VHS tapes when he was younger.

edit: I still stand by my suggestion of a 12 gauge with the before mentioned ammo. :evil:

[meathammer]

I'm going with a wrist rocket slingshot, and as many steelies as it takes.

He should have to endure as much pain as anyone who has ever watched him. :evil:

[Betty]

Barney and the Teletubbies, begone!
