    Default 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.

    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.

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