View Full Version : what caliber to use on the raptors????
Think 223 will cut it or 7.62x39??
I mean they are not that big. Do you think a 12 gauge will do the trick?
I'm pretty sure my ps90 will be pretty useless
Thanks in advance

Nothing short of .50BMG or those 12ga "dragon's breath" shells. They're not that big but their skin is made of 150-layer kevlar.
I'll hold your P90 for ya in my underground, fireproof, waterproof, bombproof, bulletproof, raptorproof gun safe for ya till the raptors leave. Ya know, for safe keeping. There's room for all your small-caliber firearms that are ineffective on the raptors too. PM me your address and I'll even come pick em up for ya.

.308 brother, it will rip the tits off a wild boar. Think it will be fine on a raptor. M1a baby.[Beer]

I really really want an M1A, Guess the 12 Gauge and the AR-15 will have to do...
I heard from a guy on the internet that Eskimos kill Raptors with 22s. Its just shot placement that matters.
Because I am a triple commando, I am planning on only using a knife, a really really big knife.
.45/70, the only way to be sure.

I'd say anything under .300WM and you're wasting your time.

SPAS-12 is the only thing for raptors...

Jeez- all of you are so "old school" with those internal combustion firearms.
Anybody who knows anything knows that a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 Watt range is the only thing to use on Raptors.

Those 50's are good but you are not going to be as dynamic with a big heavy gun like that so eventually you will get over ran. I agree with the 308, AR-10, LR308 etc. Shotguns just piss them off [ROFL1] If you are going to be stationary I would suggest the 240 Bravo, the only way to go [Beer]
.45/70, the only way to be sure.

I'd say simply nuke 'em from orbit since that's the only way to be sure, but these pansy ass treaties we've signed means we can't do that kind of stuff anymore.
No matter what else we want to use, I'm sure that there are people out there who say you're crazy if you think you need more than 10 rounds to kill the raptors, and whatever you use better look like its "sporting" not "assault."

Wish I had something in 45/70. So I guess I'm stuck with 12ga slugs!

[ROFL1]

Alright, maybe I was mistaken. I guess it could have been raptors. In which case I am going to recommend the Daisy Red Rider BB gun. Just shoot for the eyes. [Awesom]

We talking about movie raptors or real raptors? I think a 9mm would work fine.

There were a few kinds of raptors, so, which kind? I would think all of them. There were big ones also, skeletons prove that.

Ok.
.45-70 just in case.

Oh ya, it's the utahraptor, so, if they do come today, I'm closer to them than you guys are...... I'll let you know how it goes. [ROFL1]
I think you're going to want to go with a 20mm

Feee fiiii foooo fuummmm, what friggen bean stock did that damn thing fall from?.......
I'm kinda bored at the moment, so bare with me. The raptors in Jurrasic park were oversized as mentioned earlier (real velociraptor weighed about 50 pounds max) and were replaced with a different type of raptor (deinonychus) in which was supposed to only weigh about 150 pounds max and 12 feet in length. The utah raptor could grow to 23 feet in length and weighed up to about 1,500 pounds. So... take the jurassic park raptor, double its size and make it stronger and faster and a hell of a lot bigger, and that is the utah raptor.... I'm gona trade in the squirt guns for a tank....
