What caliber for Jurassic park?

Humans didn't exist in the Jurassic era. The nervous systems of dinosaurs were quite primative, so that a CNS kill was almost impossble. And many of the big carniverous dinosaurs were much bigger than an african elephant.

Me, I go with an RPG-7, and I want two similarly-armed men backing me up.
 
Im going to have to change barrels on the Magnum to rifled and break out the Brenneke Gold Magnums.

We are chicken wing snacks to these dinos and they are just going to have to come to me. Maybe I drop a small one and while the big dumb dumb is feasting on little dead dumbdumb I clear out yes?

But seriously? Im thinking crew served weapons at this point and need to be in terrain with steep, New River Gorge, Emigrant, Alamagordo, Spotted Wolf near Yuma comes to mind.
 
This is a tough call. Velociraptors are mean mamojamus and only 8' tall. Many others that would like to make a snack out of you are probably that size or smaller.

I'm going to have to say a good 12 gauge since maneuverability is a big plus in this type of circumstance.
 
I think the whiskey is getting to me tonight.
I'm thinking 20mm in a drag for the big ones. Take them out by shattering the hip joints the brain and vitals are to small and protected.
I think an M14 for the carry gun for the little ones that might say hi.
And maybe a .45 subgun just in case.

The PH has the granade launcher right?
 
um, something like a 50 BMG! (50% expanding, 50% fmj) preferably in full auto! who knows how tough one would be? they might fall to a 243, but just on their size, i would want real stopping power! :D:neener::evil::what:
 
According to Wikipedia, Velociraptors aren't that big:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor

"Velociraptor is well-known from its role as a vicious and cunning killer in the 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its 1993 film adaptation, directed by Steven Spielberg. The "raptors" portrayed in Jurassic Park were modeled after a larger relative, Deinonychus, which Gregory Paul at the time called Velociraptor antirrhopus"

So if I read this correclty, the raptors from the movie weren't really Velociraptors...
 
the obvious choice would be a 410/22 combo, with 40 gr .22 solids for long range work, and a whiff of 410 birdshot for close brush-busting

the other obvious choice would be a good life insurance policy
 
Obviously you guys haven't read the "go to" books on this!!
"Talking To T-Rex"
"Raptor Rut Revealed"
"Baby Brontosaurus Baiting Basics"
And,most important (for this thread)
"Deadly Dino Dumpers"
After reading those,you'll be a true expert.
 
M32 with those new "super" HE rounds,

Suppressed M4 carbine (ability to move without causing a major scene or stampede)

Desert Eagle as a sidearm,

2 Kukris would be bad act also.
 
According to the discovery planet (ahem ahem *disclaimer*) dinos Central nervous system is vastly different than current animals, hence well placed gunfire still may not take one down. So I suggest the following:


USS Missouri (BB-63) ("Mighty Mo" or "Big Mo")

I mean why BS around?
 
Since we're in the land of *make-believe*

You'd need to make it through several feet through bone and tissue with more collatal damage considering the large and crude organs. I mean I doubt you could drop one of these monsters like an elk. Just to be safe my vote goes to the M61 Vulcan Cannon just to be safe. The premier cannon on all USAF fixed wing aircraft for over five decades. Nothing like 20mm Vulcan for penetration and wound cavity size. (in armor and steel plates)
 
I assume you planning to use a gun that a hunter could carry. I suggest a 57 mm recoiless rifle. The down side is that it is single shot and you need a loader and it has quite back blast.

It you want to go light an RPG like the russians use. Judging from what they can do to a building it should really hurt a T. Rex. Again it is single shot and has back blast.
If sport is not part of the equation then an aircraft that has at least a 20 mm cannon on it.
 
.243 Winchester will rule the day as usual

Jurassic Times never met a .243 Winchester. Pea-brained-sized animals cannot discern fear or aggression from safety. A ton of force should quell any succulent beastie with a brain-shot. Not into Dino Steaks, but maybe they're not so bad when tenderized. I'm a meat-eater, and occasional I'll eat a pea to balance my fruit intake requirements. I made it to 66 years without becoming a vegan. What happens at 85 years of age, I've seen all too often, regretfully. cliffy
 
Me, two of my friends, and a Bradley Fighting Vehicle. All terrain, 25mm Cannon, TOW missile launcher for the "he's coming right for us!" moments. Not to mention room inside for camp.

Baring that, I would probably mount one of these on some sort of vehicle.

Explosive harpoon gun! Hit a T-Rex in the brisket or ribs and pull his ass down. Massive internal damage.
 
You're all wrong so far

This situation has already been addressed.

Please refer to the IMFDB:
Jurassic Park 3

Your .50 BMG will not be effective. You will get eaten and your plane will be knocked down.

The proper weapon for taking down a Spinosaurus Aegypticus is a flare gun and gasoline.
