What caliber for these?!!11 :O


Brain shots are super tricky, since the brain is small and the head is always moving on the end of a long neck.

I would post this in the Natural World section, but there is hardly any traffic there..

I thought we had a hunting dinosaur thread a month ago or so?

Any ways. My answer is the same. 16", 50 caliber naval rifle. I'd bring 2500 other freinds along as well as eight more of the same gun for "back up"

Yep, just use the armor piercing "solids" to minimize the meat damage.

A 12 gauge with 000 buckshot. Head shots only.

.45/70 guide 'gun' with mesplatt hard cast flat points. No problem. Do it all the time.

Naw, it's mostly pass-throughs, not much expansion but they do penetrate.

Kind of hard on the meat though, isn't it?

I wonder if shots to the hip produce the same effect on these "lizards" as they do on ele?

I would opt for a M202. It is afterall man portable and I would not be limited to a mere 28 miles +/- from a "shoreline" (actually deep water) as I would be with an Iowa class.

How would you mount the trophy? I guess a full mount could be rather tricky...

Too bad he didn't also include an elephant and cape buffalo picture to get a real perspective on the scale. Kudos for the excellent picture though.

Hmmmm, A-10 Warthog with 37mm Gatling gun, then follow up with napalm and barbeque sauce. Come And Get It!

Hey Jorge, wanna join in on the sortie?
