o.k. so i just got done watching the flik and thought it was ok. then the very tiny light bulb went off in my head...if i was in any of those situations and had to pick one gun to roll with what would it be? it appeared that the main raptor trainer was rolling with a marlin ss 45/70. well, i thought about it more and thunk'd to myself it would probably be better to roll a big bore ar in either the 50 beowulf, shooting brass solids. not knocking the 4570, i just would prefer to have a quicker reload. the other thing would be faster follow up shots which i know would be needed....remember when u post it has to be somewhat of a mobile platform...i dont think an 82a1 would be "mobile" and the gun has to exist right now on the commercial side...i did this from my phone so sorry about the grammer and ea.

Since you're fantasizing...

A 338 Lapua mini-gun.

I haven't seen the movie....there is an excellent chance I never will.

M203 with API rounds.

Saiga 12 with slugs.

What? It was in a movie, so it has to be real.


M134 Gatling gun, I would need a crew to handle the particulars. I have a list of folks.


You didn't say it couldn't be a Crew-Served Mobile Weapon Platform!

I loved the gun in that movie, it was almost as hot as Ron Howard's daughter. That said, there isn't a gun I would choose. If I'm on the ground I'm rocking a flame thrower, something to scare it away because I don't see any gun taking a T-Rex down quick enough. The flame thrower will at least facilitate a get away, I'd hope.

And I wouldn't choose a GAU-17 (M134) for a gunship, I'd be rocking the ma deuce with AP rounds.

You know me well enough that ya.... Barrett 50BMG 82A1 is arguably a mobile option for me ;) that being said maybe a P90. It is not big bore but with 50rds, armor piercing (to go through that thick of a skull), 400yds being too close in general but what most of that movie seemed to be playing with, it might make sense. I don't think a 458 would carry enough momentum to punch through dino skulls at any real range. Ok.... Not going with the 82A1.... I'll take the M107A1 then.

MRAP with the Crows II system mounted on it, chambered in 7.62x51 NATO. I saw the movie, too, they had a bear cat or something similar.

Dinos had really tiny brains. I don't think head shots would be the answer.

I like the flame-thrower idea. They would probably be afraid of fire, as most critters are. I don't think there would be enough portable fuel capacity in a scenario like this.

Probably true, although I have a feeling it would not be ONE and at that point..... We are screwed;) Flame thrower till we run out of gas. Good thing we are in a glut right now.

I think all I would need would be my 1911 in good ol .45 auto. That would be more than enough to wound all the other dumb bastards that decided to go to an island with dinosaurs on it, and then I could leave them for bait and get the hell out of there. I'm all for having my buddies back in any situation but you bring dinosaurs into the equation and all bets are off. On the flip side if I decided not to be a little weasel, I thing my .416 Rigby or a nice .500 Nitro express double rifle would even the odds a little bit.

ZERO THEORY
06-15-2015, 21:06
Nemo's .300 Win Mag AR would do the trick for me. Most dinosaurs had their spines and organs aligned like dogs. Put a few rounds at the crest of the shoulder and obliterate Rex's lungs/heart/spine.

Ok. I rethought it. Dinosaurs are pretty much related to birds somehow. I think a 12ga full of birdshot should do the trick.

Tactical weed burner dialed in for T-Rex. Tastes like chicken and all it needs is BBQ sauce.

Technically, it is a crew served weapon... But I'm pretty sure you could operate it solo.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)
Seriously? P90 seems like a potentially good choice. ARs in any number of configurations could be useful. BAR would be a good choice.

How about a mosin Nagant? It doubles as a suitable melee weapon...

PAW-20 or for ease of ammo a Striker 12 or Street sweeper.

700 Nitro Express. I believe that Arab video above was actually a .577 T-rex, IIRC.

But seriously - have you seen that T-rex skeleton at that museum up near the Denver Zoo? That thing's HUGE! I wouldn't even set foot on the damn island.

For an offensive weapon....Howard Stearn.....also known as 'bait'.

Defensive weapon....308, accurate, doesn't kill you every time you pull the trigger, easy to get ammo, good for smaller game (food), enough oomph to put an eye out.

I see it differently. He's sitting on the flag as a reminder. As long as it's under him freedom is being fought for. If he falls off freedom has been lost.

To be honest, I thought the SS Marlin in 45-70 was a solid choice for its quick reload capabilities and power. It does, however, lack capacity. That being said, he probably didn't have it thinking "one day the king of all dinosaurs is going to break out" he probably had it more for "dinosaur charging" you moment. 45-70 wasn't probably the ideal gun, but it didn't seem to be a bad gun for the job either.

Screw bringing a gun... they're too fast, no matter what you had, your ass would be eaten alive. I'm going to play it smart, it would be rather annoying, but smart... I would bring my x-wife. The moment we hit the island and got in trouble, I'd tell her how good her sister was, and let everything get scared away. Once we made it to the rescue boat, chopper, whatever safely, I'd knock her ass out and leave her for a snack.

After watching it last night with the wife and sister in law, I'd have to go with the Mark 1 Mod 0 Jerry Miculeck with his M-107 .50, if I can't have that then 3-4 M72 LAW's and a .50 Beowolf AR-15.

So we're loading out for dinosaurs? I guess it poses more a challenge than zombies.

Plus, everyone knows the 10mm will vaporize any dinosaur.

I'd take whichever gun had the largest magazine capacity... If there are multiple with the same magazine capacity +or- a couple rounds, I'd pick the one with the higher velocity... or whichever had the most ammo available on the island.

So, odds are i'd be carrying an AR15 in some variation....
