Why are they scary again?

I got a bunch of bbq leftovers and a 8lb jug of rifle powder

>>63925604

>>63925612
Neat.

>>63925680

>>63925751
pffft, I've been shot down at the bar by bitches bigger than that

>>63925680
Because they were actively predatory animals almost twice the size of the largest land animal today. Atop that they had better vision than most predators today. I'd also imagine that they'd take decently well to being shot at with most service rifles made today. You just fail to grasp what scale we're talking about.

Dinosaur bones are such bullspit
Like every dinosaur is made of 5 or 6 bones(most of which are fakes themselves), then they just make up the rest

It's complete bunk, and can't believe people buy it
Even Jurassic Park admits it's all made up, and they're just making cool monsters
>>63925381
But yeah this would work

>>63925933
In Green is how much of Sue was recovered, almost all of her other than her skull.

>>63925959
That is not the norm. Very few species have complete skeletons, even compositing from multiple partials.

>>63925959
Oh, her skull was also recovered, they just keep it separate because it's was so complete to study it.

>>63925873
Pretty sure a 20 round mag of 7.62 to one leg would still bring it down.

>>63925959
Wow one example, and even then all the bone tissue is long gone

QRD on dinotendie?

>>63925680
Oversized anything is scary. Got a cat? Are you guys best buds? Now scale him up 100x to the size of a tiger and see how things change. Now make him 1000x meaner and optimized for killing shit (the same transformation from chicken to apex predator T. rex). Shit, scale up an ant to the size of a man and you’d shit your pants. The insect world is not for the faint of heart.

>>63925360 (OP)
Yes. Elephants are regularly hunted with .375s and .416s, and therapods like T-Rex had weaker bones than elephants.

>>63925933
There are a number of species that are known from many specimens, some of which are near-complete. Tyrannosaurus, in particular, is notable for the sheer number of mostly-complete adult specimens we have (pic related is only a small selection), although there are of course many, particularly of the more famous species, that we have mostly-complete specimens for.

>>63925974
Honestly when you think about the size difference the cat vs mouse comparison is pretty similar to a human vs trex…. From a mouse’s perspective a cat is fucking terrifying

>>63925972
You can figure it out pretty easily from a skull if you have a largely complete example and know anything about neurology, but if you're a creationist I'm not surprised that you don't.

>>63925873
>twice the size of the largest land animal
Puts things into perspective, but elephants are the wrong comparison. The correct comparison would be to Saltwater crocodiles or polar bears, depending on if you consider crocs land predators. They’re, fuck idk, 100 times more massive? Apex fucking predators scaled up in size and capability.

>they might withstand service rifle cartridges
lol, lmao. Scale down a 5.56 by the factor by which you’d scale a T. rex down to get to your size. That’s like you being shot with a 2mm kolibri (or smaller) Just lol-tier. You might not even get mad.

>>63925991
>Smug faggot immediately jumps to trashing religion with passive aggressive femininity

>>63925995
If you're causing internal damage to organs, it's going to fuck them up. Whether it does so on a timescale that is relevant to your survival of the encounter is another question, but regular bullets would have no problem penetrating into a Tyrannosaurus just the same as they do to anything else.

>>63925995
Ballistics don't work that way, retard. Elephants get killed by AKs all the time.

>>63926001
I'm religious I'm just not retarded. The guys who discovered the entire field of paleontology were largely priests and Paleontology (and geology more generally) grows out of religious debates about the age of the Earth.

>>63925988
I will post this furball any chance I get.

Picrel is the African black footed cat (Felis Nigripes). To this tiny furball belongs the distinction of the highest hunting success rate of any solitary hunter in all of order Carnivora. And the domestic cat is not far behind. Indeed, they are killing machines.

Picrel is the face of death (if you are the size of a mouse)

>>63926002
I would imagine their hides would have been extremely thick and difficult to penetrate.

>>63925974
Crazy squatter guy that used to do batshit cooking threads. Apparently he was actually a trained cook but he would do stuff like grill meat he found in a grocery store dumpster in a toilet and strip an electrical cord to cook hot dogs.
Guy was based. Eventually the fags at /ck/ banned him so he would post here and /fit/
We were always worried he was gonna die.

>>63926020
It's unlikely they would've been that much thicker than those of living analogs. We have skin impressions for many.

>>63926002
Not all damage is equal. If I fire a literal needle at you, at one of your organs, it will poke a hole that might totally be survivable. A 1 inch wide permanent cavity is another story. To a T. rex, a 5.56 wound is just that needle. And it would need to 1) penetrate its hide that is no doubt very thick and 2) penetrate deep enough to the vitals. #2 is not happening, not with any 5.56 load or realty anything that will chamber in a service rifle (intermediate). About the only hope you have if armed with a service rifle is to aim for the eyes.

>>63926008
Much smaller, much softer animals. Are these headshots or center mass?

Also, everyone who kills an elephant is a nigger and needs to be gelded and hanged. Fuck trophy hunters, fuck poachers, fuck niggers who put themselves in the path of an elephant and then “are forced to shoot in self defense”

>>63926037
Why is an elephant softer? And an African bull can (could) get substantially larger than projected T Rex weight.

>>63926037
I think you're significantly underestimating the penetration that rifle rounds are capable of, they punch through wood and cinderblock, there are not many biological materials capable of stopping them like that. I can't find the video, but I remember back in the day at least the Mythbusters trying to test how much muscle or fat would be necessary to stop a bullet and even their pistol rounds went through several feet's worth of meat.

>>63926037
Edit. Nevermind everybody. I was vastly overestimating the size of a T. rex. Looking at scale images now, I think if you had a full auto 5.56 rifle and a bunch of mags, you could bring one down with neck/underbelly shots alone. For some reason I was thinking it would be several feet from hide to vitals, doesn’t look like that at all.

Still, I wouldn’t take a 5.56 to a T. rex fight. A 50BMG seems far more apt.

>>63926046
Looking into it, hypothetical max Rex could rival or surpass record elephants, which means fuck all, honestly.
Elephants are based. I adopted a pygmy one through WWF when still a young man as a gift for a girl I liked. That act garnered mad ginger stoner art hoe pussy. Elephants would always be bros if for that alone.

>>63925360 (OP)
Why would you need firepower? A few footrubs and a good fucking and it'll be docile as ever.

>>63926013
I want to pet it.

>>63925984
Ankylosaurus could be pretty wild, I think. You'd really wanna go for the neck or the eyes unless you somehow got a really good angle on the underbelly, anywhere else you could wound but probably not reliably cleanly kill with all the bone plates fucking up trajectories. The largest skulls we have are something like 8 inches thick from certain angles.

>>63926013

>T rex isn't scary

lmao just came here to post this.

I think a better point of discussion would be HOW you would go about killing a dinosaur, since you could even kill most of them with a well-placed 9mm
>which dinosaurs would live in your area?
(assume they can live in modern cold climates)
>which would you need to worry about attacks from?
>which would you actively hunt
>which guns would you use for defense/hunting?
>what tactics would you employ for defense/hunting?

I live in Alaska, so I'd have Nanuqsaurus and Pachyrhinosaurus for big threats, with smaller troodons and nerdy chicken dinosaurs as a lesser problem. Nanuqsaurus was only about the size of a moose, so a magnum or a 12 gauge with slugs would probably do the trick. Since you'd be the one getting ambushed 99/100 times, I think the best option would be a handgun or a short-barreled shotgun to get your muzzle pointed at it quickly. My big concern would be the pachyrhinosaurs, since herbivores always have way shittier temperaments. I'm probably not even going outside if I see one in my yard, and in case one charges me on a hike I'd have to go with at least that 577 Tyrannosaur in the OP video. Most likely I'd be mounting a rifle on the front of my ATV, since drives to the town dump would be a great way to get jumped by something (bears always hang out at the dump as is)

>>63925984
I would personally go with a .458 just for the extra kinetic energy, but yeah. The Jurassic films have convinced people that dinosaurs were bulletproof, when they were really just as vulnerable to projectile weapons as modern thick-skinned animals.

>>63925959
>>63925964
yeah i was about to say, her skull was found. Sue is an very nearly complete skeleton. Beautiful find she was.

>>63926617
Correct, they're not.

>>63926037
WM Bell killed a thousand elephants with a 6mm and 7mm, using standard service ammo of his day. He was legendary for his fast kills, he wasn't letting the animals suffer or anything like that.

>>63926062
Mass is one thing and distribution is another. A larger T Rex will still have a smaller head and thinner bones because a huge amount of that extra mass is in his ass.

Think about it this way, a stick and a wooden sphere can weigh the same, but the sphere's going to be harder to drill through.

>>63926001
>pottery

what happens if it ambushes you? you're at ground level and it's head is how high up?

>>63926861
yeah, but like, you know, what if you were in front of it millions of years ago when it was still alive

>>63926898

>>63925680
>Has never been around chickens
Little fuckers can be vicious, I've seen them kill mice like nothing

Yes but i shant, for the tyrannosaurus is a gentle and noble creature made by Our Lord and deserves love and respect

>>63925360 (OP)
I'd probably go for a heart shot, it's not too deep. I think I have a enough hardcast .308 rounds floating around to fill up a FAL mag.

>>63925751
pic related is my favorite recreation of a dino that shows scale. It's name is Fleshy, an ultra accurate recreation of Sue. Using everything we know about trex, this to-scale model was made. Also trex didn't have feathers. Cope seethe dilate etc.

>>63926865
What a nigger.

I get the point though. It just is not intuitive that a wound volume of x that is just barely adequate to kill some <150lb ungulate would also be adequate to kill an elephant. The wound should become trivial as the animal grows in size, but then yeah, shot placement. I wonder what one’s shot placement is like on a charging T. rex, lol. In all likelihood I’d stand there petrified, unable to move, like the guy on the toilet in Jurassic park, even with a Barrett in my hands.

>>63926493
Theyre even smaller than normal domestic cats. Shame they’re only found in Africa (aside from zoos in america), are nocturnal and not exactly friendly. I want one so bad.

dog would run, and it probably wouldnt know there's a trex until it saw it. Depends on if doggo could smell rexy. It's believed the trex was an ambush predator, and that it could move quickly in short bursts. It would probably have waited until you and your dog got as close as possible, late in the afternoon when it's dark. It would certainly make a lot of noise when moving quickly, but *it's believed* that it actually would have been quite quiet because of how large it's feet are

>>63925612

>>63925933
we have found dino skeletons that are 90% complete. It's not a hard guess that the right foot looks the same as the left.

>>63929255
The million videos I’ve seen of dogs casually strolling next to an alligator only to promptly get eaten, or charging at bears and tigers and other predators 10x their size, suggests otherwise. They’re quite dumb, but they are bros. A dog would bark his ass off and would totally run towards a T. rex.

>>63929255
>if doggo could smell rexy
i almost guarantee you that it could unless you have a really shitty dog. Carnivores always stink (bears particularly have an awful smell), so any dog with typical canine smelling abilities would be able to pick up on it.

I think the main question in whether a dog would detect a rex ambush is how well the dog has been exposed to the outdoors; I've seen plenty of dogs that could totally smell a predator following us but couldn't be assed to alert

>it actually would have been quite quiet
interdasting. Does this account for fallen branches/underbrush? I guess in the right environment it could stay pretty quiet, but I see big feet on fallen branches being fairly loud.

>>63926001
>n-noooo my super special faith
you're too weak to create your own faith, i'm not the other anon but that's why i'll mock you.
you're a loser too weakminded to come up with your own modus operandi, fear of the unknown and lack of purpose are humanity's only fears, and religion is your way of coping with those.
i genuinely try not to pull on you types too hard because if i somehow actually pulled you out of your faith you would be insta-mindbroken immediately kill yourself or shoot up a mall, as many of you have done in moments of extreme weakness.
i don't suffer from this problem because i haven't given my modus operandi to a schizophrenic voice in my head that i interpret as an all-knowing being.
i'm not an atheist or an ist of any kind, as my beliefs and faith are uniquely my own, but i think the reason why you guys get so angry about how nihilistic atheists are because you know you would be joining them instantly were it not for your religion, that's how weak-willed you are.

>>63929303
Some funny things can happen, like you find the skull of something you’re sure is a mustelid, so you extrapolate body size based on closely related species, but it turns out this particular creature had odd proportions and his body was actually really small compared to his head, and was not the gigabadger you thought it was. So there’s some probability that can be assigned to the accuracy of the extrapolated model.

Just using mustelids as a random example. There was one mammal back in the day who filled a recently-vacated niche in blitzspeed, undergoing weird adaptations, whose head was like 4x as big as heads usually are.

>>63929324

I won't even bash religion. I'm not either of those anons, but c'mon man. Religion is all about being a bit pompous to the end of being worthy to enter the good version of the afterlife. If you really want to beat that guy, you're gonna need to lean into that instead of playing defensively

>>63929403
ngl anon there is no "play" to make, i'm genuinely confident in my understanding of reality whereas he only thrives in the ambiguity, wishful thinking and power of interpretation present in a book, there's not much of a battle to have there. both sides will walk away thinking they have won, including the losing side.
i was just there to remind him, probably because i am a bit of a pompous ass and was feeling a bit sadistic.

>>63929323
yeah im sure the trex would crush a lot that it stepped on, if it weren't being too careful. Paleos do believe it had wide, padded feet, and it makes sense considering how it seems to have evolved; to be a horribly deadly predator that would certainly need to sneak at times. It's strongly believed the trex not only had the biggest eyes, but also the most powerful bite of any known land animal, extinct or alive. Pretty crazy how overpowered the rex was.

>>63929338
sure, but it's definitely not the case with the trex. It's actually the most well studied dino there is, with tons of excellent fossils being found, and Sue's skeleton just as an example is almost a complete one. We have found trex teeth broken off and stuck inside of herbivore dinos' tails, which tells us that they certainly weren't solely scavengers as some have theorized. We've found numerous fossils of trexs of all ages, giving us a good understanding of what their stages of growth looked like. Hell, we've found imprints of trex skin, like in pic related.

Bump

>>63929338
A good example is the Spinosaurus. For a very long time, people assumed that it was a bipedal theropod with a similar posture to a Baryonyx.

It was only after new fossil evidence was discovered that they figured out it was much lower to the ground, and had a crocodile-like tail.

>>63930367

This is amazing, especially when you consider only a handful of T-Rex skeletons have ever been found, less than 20 they're very rare.

>>63930642
We have more intact T-rex skeletons than most other species.

>>63929694
>Pretty crazy how overpowered the rex was
I think it makes sense. There's a reason we find so many intact fossils of it; it was probably one of the most successful animals to ever exist, so they probably reproduced lots and weren't killed often

>>63930848
If they weren't killed, how would we have their skeletons?

>>63930895
dying of natural causes. I guess i should have specified that they weren't killed by other animals often, leading to more intact skeletons instead of bones being broken off and eaten by other animals.

Hah. I included the binomial because I knew anons would chuckle at it.

But just to set things straight, that African kitty is WHITE. All felids are Aryan, except hyenas. Because… because they just are.

>>63931103
Oh and btw, not the #1 murderbeast on the planet. It’s the top killer in order Carnivora. The insect world has much more successful predators, with some success rates on the order of 95%. Our kitty here is only successful about 60-70% of the time.

Picrel. The dragonfly is more of a murder machine than any cat.

>>63931177
And they used to be the size of seagulls, fucking imagine

>>63930914
I would think the length of existence of the species would play a pretty big factor too. like if they are around millions of years longer that is a lot more chances for things to get preserved well. It is weird though because apex predators tend to be rarer species all other things being equal. Doubly so if they are xbox yuge. Maybe its a climate thing.

To OPs question, I have to assume seeing a trex in the wild would be like a mountain lion or something. Extremely rare and pants shitting. A lot harder to prepare for those kinds of encounters unless you are predating them. The inverse would be true as well, with no hunting pressure from humans they would have no reason to fear us.

>>63925409
I've never had alligator. Is it good, and can you just cook whatever you shoot?

I have faith in gator meat. It's gonna be tasty.

I honestly think the issue with what I had was overcooking. Ive left pork shoulder in the smoker too long and had it get a similar texture. Its like the proteins all break down into short strands and it just gets all weird. It didnt taste bad or anything, just that beef and bison are way the fuck better flavor wise.

>>63931483
How does it compare to chicken?

>>63931449
nta and not a native of any state where gators live, but I've bought it frozen and cooked it before. I deep fried it in batter and made nuggets out of it. It's kind of like fishy steak. Fishy/flakey in texture but a darker meat and kinda steak-like. It wasn't bad

They’re kinda like hyenas or wild dogs in that way. They just start eating, usually crotch first. Atleast the lions and leopards bother to asphyxiate their prey first.

1. Jurassic Park did them dirty; animals with soft feet are shockingly quiet in motion even if they're huge. I fully believe that, all other things being equal, a T-Rex could easily get within ambushing distance of a human and the human would be clueless until it charges.
2. What the fuck are you going to do about it anyway? Run away? Start shooting into the dark? If you can hear the T-Rex then you're already dead.


>>63931154
>Aren't a ton of fossils assumed to be creatures that got caught in landslides or fell into lakes and rivers?
>assumed

Anyway, yeah. The typical fossil - and the reason why there are so many found in former riparian and marine areas compared to everywhere else; it's easy to get buried in silt if you're in a marsh or on the sea floor - is the result of something dying, getting entombed in fine sediment and then getting sequestered in an anerobic environment while slowly - incredibly slowly - the various organic material gets mineralized and what's left is more-or-less a photo negative of the organism.

Nothing Reddit about that at all. It’s just a fact. Tbh I’d love to see a tv show very similar to TerraNova but one in which humans get transported back in time to the gigainsect age. The closest representation I’ve seen of this in film is Kong: Skull Island.

They SOMETIMES do that, it's far from guaranteed.
Sometimes they just pin down their prey and start ripping chunks off, usually starting with the soft bits on the belly/groin.

Weird, in nature videos, I see them chilling for a while with the prey animal’s esophagus between their jaws, until the animal is motionless. Not that I haven’t seen them eat live prey - if the animal is too big they might just start eating. But the rule seems to be “if they can kill it first, they will”

How quickly do flamethrowers kill? This seems like the same problem of “a weapon that can be used to kill, vs a weapon that can be replied upon to stop a charging, dangerous animal”.

I can't even begin to tell you how fucking retarded this is. When something is set on fire, it is blinded and completely disoriented, not to mention going into shock from extreme pain. Fire also makes it difficult to coordinate your muscles.
Animals do not fight while on fire. A flamethrower would stop an elephant, it would stop a giant insect, it would stop a anything that burns or needs oxygen or needs sensory organs to fight. It would stop them near instantly.

From all accounts Bell was a decent man, if somewhat autistic. He would even contact locals to come collect the meat from his kills, which gave him a very good reputation among them.

>just barely adequate to kill some <150lb ungulate
That is the error in your thinking ultimately.
A 22lr is more than sufficient to consistently insta-kill +1000 pound cattle, I know this because it's the most common round used for that purpose. Many thousands of cattle and some bison are killed every year with one shot from a 22lr, no trouble, no thrashing around or extended painful death.
A record setting grizzly had it's skull blown through with a 22, loaded under modern 22lr standard velocity.


To say any intermediate rifle calibers are "barely" adequate for medium game is just mythology when weak-as-piss 22lr is more than adequate.

Tens of thousands of boar are killed each year with 22s, yet I've also seen one run off being hit with a cannonball several inches across only to die hundreds of feet away. There's a reason Bell said, to paraphrase, "ten grains in the right spot kills and one thousand grains in the wrong spot wounds"

>lol, lmao. Scale down a 5.56 by the factor by which you’d scale a T. rex down to get to your size. That’s like you being shot with a 2mm kolibri (or smaller) Just lol-tier. You might not even get mad.
That only works if a 5.56 isn't capable of killing and seriously wounding humans. It obviously it. People drop elk with single shots of 5.56 TMKs. You can absolutely kill and elephant with 5.56, it just might take a lot of shots depending on where you hit.

So scale a T-Rex vs and elephant of about 9 tons for the largest T-Rex estimates vs an average bull elephant of 7.5 tons. It's 20% more. So take 20% off a 5.56 for your example, that's what a .22 Hornet? Not great but can definitely cause lethal wounds on an elephant with FMJs.

>>63926037
>Much smaller, much softer animals.
That's a complete lie. Smaller by 10-20% at most. Softer is highly debatable. They're equal at best and odds are an elephant is more muscular. Look at the fucking skulls and tell me an elephant is "softer"

>>63926973

>>63934589

I know, I know, I know. I realized later on in the thread that I had been drastically overestimating the size and difficulty of killing a T. rex, and admitted my mistake.

>much softer than a trex

I was referring to the hide, actaully. A trex must have a thick scaly hide, and the elephant much softer skin. I was just assuming a headshot is a nonstarter because it’s not likely that a diminutive intermediate cartridge will 1) penetrate the skull all the way and 2) hit the tiny brain. This may have been a mistake also. Idk. I’ve seen video of an elephant being shot in the head and acting like nothing happened.

>>63933585
>The objective is to survive one day.
Impossible. You can't physically carry enough ammo and explosives for 24 hours of endless attacks. Once you kill everything in the scene more will come.

If I had to, 2 PKMs, 1 P90, 1 Benelli M4, and a M32 40mm launcher. Pistols can be whatever but probably something in 5.7 for capacity. So PSA Rocks kek. Oh and lots of meth to stay up for 24 hours.

Flamethrowers kill relatively slowly, but they're the ultimate incapacitator.

If you hit a rhino in the front with a flamethrower it's going to be blind and unable to breathe, so while it might not die quickly I doubt it's going to do much fighting.

>>63925972
Larger apertures are generally better for seeing further. Naturally this would vary on fitness of the animal, but given the sheer scale of the T Rex and thus the huge amount of animal meat requires for maintainanace of such a body, I imagine vision was absolutely valuable trait with high fitness

>>63934222
Dragon myths came from mythology surrounding unearthed dinosaur fossils, I imagine they were possibly found in decent condition, some dinosaurs look more like lizards, other skulls look more like giant bird skulls.

The first example is luck maybe even an amber fossil with feathers (A potential extremely lucky find unheard of today).
The modern examples that lead to the discovery of feathers are from bone fossils of dinosaurs that have quill knobs (also found in birds), actually preserved fibrous feathers near bones in tar and dirt and the like (extremely difficult to make out by hand, requires layer slicing and microsocopes/material analysers to find the evidence for them, often enough.), and actual feathers in amber.
They also can do gene analysis as we have dinosaur DNA and learn that they likely had genes that form feather production in birds.

The first is an example of information being lost to myth and fancy that retained the base observation but without the knowhow to understand and preserve that information.

Not all myths have a basis in reality, but some are based on something real.

>>63935294
East Asian dragons are typically depicted as frilly or feathered.
European dragons aren't.
Nearly all feathered dinosaur fossils known today were found in east Asia, especially china.
'nuff said.

>>63935331
Yes exactly. But that doesn't mean European dinosaurs didn't have feathers, it could well mean the environmental conditions were not right for protecting their feather fossils.

>>63935343
Yes. I'm agreeing with you.
The fact that deceptions of "dragons" are consistent with local dinosaur fossils merely serves as evidence that dragon myths originate with people across the world digging up 100-million year old dinosaur fossils and failing to understand what they'd really found.

>>63935380
Or trying to make sense of what they found with their limited knowledge and technology

>>63933585
M249s. I'm giving everyone M249s.

In the Jurassic Park novel the game warden Muldoon uses an RPG instead of a conventional game rifle because the dinosaurs have less centrally-distributed central nervous systems meaning they can still charge and kill after being headshotted, like how a chicken can still walk after being decapitated

It would probably win an endurance race too. Don't sleep on theropod respiratory systems. They would've had the same respiratory systems as modern birds and they do powered flight in oxygen content that would leave the most athletic man in the world dead in minutes.

NTA, it does though. They have the same energy but the 308’s is concentrated over a smaller area.

>>63939574
Hmm. Fair. Still a 50 Beowulf is pushing a fuck huge projectile at 2400 fps. Thats a lot of fuck you for any dinosaur to eat.

>>63939076
Old /fit/ > Old misc > New misc > nu/fit/

>>63939604
That’s true, and it’s got higher momentum than the 308, which must count for something (terminal ballistics is not my forte), but lower sectional energy does mean less penetration, that much I do know.

>>63939014
What. The. Fuck. Well how else is a person supposed to contend with dinosaurs?

>>63939619
Serious question. Who here picks the 308 over the 50 Beowulf? Both run on an AR platform, same optics, same everything. I could see someone arguing you could effectively hunt a medium sized dinosaur like that but in terms of facing a charging T-Rex it’s like brain dead obvious to me.

>>63939649
>who picks 308 over 50 Beowulf?

I do. Lighter ammo, lighter recoil, better penetration, far better energy retention at all ranges, and much higher mag capacity (double vs single stack). Like I said, I don’t know everything about terminal ballistics, and I’m sure 50 Beowulf is not without merit (momentum must count for something) but 308 just has so much over 50 Beowulf in every other regard that I don’t see 50 Beowulf ever being a superior option.

Really you should think of 50 Beowulf as an oversized pistol cartridge. Same thing as 350/400 legend, except it isn’t even running at rifle pressures cause the case head is so fucking big.

>>63939604
What load for the 50 BEO gets 2400 fps? I heard 1900 was the upper limit and most of the loadings in most platforms are much much lower.

>>63939649

This is dealing with more of the chemistry of it, but fossils aren't necessarily "true" bone. They are mineralized versions of what was buried and preserved. (This is also why tar pits are a very unique way of fossilization, since they're legit bones)

Anyway, some bones dating back to the Jurassic Period are so old that they mineralized with enough heavy metals in them that the fossils emit radon gas.

Which is only really possible if it was millions of years old. Also right around the end of all cretaceous layers in China, America, Europe, etc. is a boundary layer of iridum, an element that is quite rare on earth, but very common in space rock and would follow suit with an asteroid strike, of which we have a pretty clear area it struck in the Chicxulub impact, of which when cross-sectioned, showed it clearly hit in the Cretaceous.

I'm a fan of the slow dino hypothesis. There's no way their hips could support running.


T-Rex's probably ran at a brisk 4 mph and ate already dead dinos. They were big, fat, slow vultures.

>>63939649
>facing a charging T-Rex
One would hope that mag-dumping 20 shots of 180-grain .308 would do the trick. Of course, I'd probably feel a lot safer slamming one or two .375 H&H solids into its braincase. I guess it's up to how dangerously you wanna hunt (or how fucking insane).

>>63939014

>>63938853
Of course scale exists, that doesn't change that their respiratory systems are and were vastly more efficient than mammalian ones. You would run out of breath long before a tyrannosaurus.

>>63940279
Yes, but the entire concept and point of a LAW is that it's a single-shot launcher. These are cheaper and lighter than reusable launchers since they don't need to be as sturdy, so are better if you only need to fire less than about three shots.

That's sort of like asking "mammals have hair, right?". Some have almost none, some are covered in it and it comes in every flavor from vestigial bristles to triple-layered and waterproof and in different types depending on where it is on a given animal.

>Won’t this mean just about any bullet will penetrate far better than it would an equivalent mammal?
Not really, no. The tl;dr is that studies have shown that skeletal mass between pneumaticized and non-pneumaticized animals of the same size remains roughly the same. It seems that hat you lose in volume you gain in density - and again, these are REALLY big bones we're talking about here.

I'm taking a fucking elephant gun, plain and simple.

>>63940887

>>63940505
>Alexander Arms ARX. Could be bullshit since I’ve never tested it but nominal muzzle velocity is listed at 2500 so I was being conservative.
I have my doubts about that kind of a figure considering how little pressure there is to work with in 50BEO, but let's remember you're talking about a half plastic half copper powder bullet literally half the weight of normal 50 Beo that is going to penetrate, if anything, much worse than the slower and heavier solid rounds. Ironically that bullet is probably much better against a human target for the exact reason it'd be worse against an elephant, if that speed and wide body makes it come apart like I suspect it would.

I doubt 50 Beo will penetrate further in a straight line than the optimal .308 round will, and you will get more shots on target faster with the smaller round.

It's nothing like that lol. Theropod respiratory systems are more efficient and allow a dramatically higher intake of oxygen, and while a large theropod would not have quite as much benefit as a flying bird, having unidirectional airflow will always allow greater efficiency of oxygen exchange than tidal airflow. This is without getting into the cursorial adaptations Tyrannosaur legs have or that its strides would be far longer than a person's. A Tyrannosaur would probably have a pretty easy time keeping pace with a person, it probably wouldn't waste the energy doing so on a meal that would offer few calories however.

>>63925360 (OP)
On a per shot basis the safari rifles obviously have the power to get the job done, but the ARs, AKs, FALs, G3s, etc have the capacity. Shooting Sue in the face 30+ times is probably going to be pretty effective. Even if that first shot is more painful than actually dangerous the last shot of the day is going to be into a wad of hamburger and bone shards. Volume of fire is a real bitch against flesh and bone.

Basic M80 Ball could feasibly take down anything on earth that's existed. Any caliber with enough ass behind it will get to the internals and as far as I know there's never been evolutionary pressure on organs withstanding liquefying forces.

They have quite cool hunting patterns, they often fly in a perspective fixed intercept approach. This means the form the prays perspective object is stationary with in its background and is only getting larger.

This effect in general indicates a crash course, it taught in boating. if you see a moving boat and the Bering does not change....

>>63942945
I don’t know this for sure but I think the cats do this as well. I remember the thought occured to me the first time I saw the way cats hunt. They keep a small frontal area, head centered, and their body/shape does not flail/change much until the last second, when they make contact. seems like they’re trying to keep the same frontal shape and only gradually enlarge as they get closer, so as to not spook the prey who would otherwise see obvious movement in its periphery.

>>63925751

>>63942804
Hybrids make sense given that they can only show the same animals doing the same thing so many times, with hybrids you can take it as far as the writers can imagine. The alternative is when you pad the real dino roster too much to differentiate like JW Fallen Kingdom did, where what should be cool inclusions and franchise-firsts like seeing Carnotaurus, Allosaurus and Baryonyx all get washed out by poor screen time and minimal inclusion in the writing. For the most part I've enjoyed the film hybrids, only the Indoraptor has been actually just fucking stupid as a premise

Somehow I don't think we're going to have a problem. I really wish people wouldn't act like dino bone has any chance aside from a glancing blow, which may still crack and spall the impacted bone. High strength doesn't mean adamantium, in fact it often comes with brittleness issues. It might be able to take significant force in the directions it's meant to, but when a force that is too strong or correctly angled to the material's grain or other such features shows up the material's gonna have a bad time. Bullets tend to do BOTH of those things coming in at angles that the bones aren't really made for AND with significantly greater impact forces than it has any chance of stopping. If you're really worried then up your game and bring some API or some other nastier than normal round.

We are this world's ultimate super-predator. If dinos just appeared in the wild today predators like T-rex would likely learn to stay away from humans fairly quickly and probably still be hunted to extinction anyways just because of the perceived danger they come with. Same with pretty much every other big name carnivore. The idea of them surviving outside of zoos and preserves is hilarious. Even the more ornery herbivores would likely be screwed outside of ranches specializing in raising dino meat.

Can't argue with that

A large theropod wouldn't get the same benefit because its method of locomotion is different, not simply because it is large. I'm genuinely unsure why you think Tyrannosaurus being larger would make its respiratory system less efficient, even when you account for its activity (bipedal locomotion) being way less strenuous than what the smaller animal does (powered flight). If your hangup is that it would take a lot more energy for a giant animal like Tyrannosaurus to run than for a bird to fly, of course, but that's an issue of caloric intake, not necessarily one of respiration. If you want to see how much more efficient theropod respiration is than mammalian respiration, Ostriches can run at 50kmh for extended periods. And this isn't a persistence-hunting scenario, this is a scenario in which Tyrannosaurus, which may have been able to sprint at as much as 20-30mph, just has to have the persistence to maintain a full-tilt sprint for longer than the human, and a human will have to slow down after usually less than a minute and switch into that endurance jogging. Looking at modern theropods, they can maintain sustained exertion for far longer than that. There's no way you'd tire it out over a 100 meter dash. This is without getting into that an adult Tyrannosaurus probably wouldn't waste the energy to chase a person, you wouldn't have enough calories to satisfy it, so you'd probably be dealing with a juvenile, whose lower weight and proportionally longer legs would allow it to cover long distances at high speeds. A human could indeed probably out-endure a Tyrannosaur over the course of a day, but a human doesn't have the endurance to maintain the pace it would need to get away for long enough to not get caught.

The average human in an adrenaline-fueled panic tops out at like 14mph and (assuming the human is eaten whole and metabolized at 70% efficiency) even a 70kg human contains ~70,000 kcal of energy. Imagine you're permabulking and you're wandering around downtown looking for a restaurant when someone on the street gives you a coupon for free nuggies at the McDonalds down the block but tells you that they're going fast, so you jog over to get some before they're gone. Is that the only food you need for the day? No. Will it put a dent in your hunger? Yes. Was it worth it from a CICO perspective? Absolutely.

My Moose gun is a lever action .308 with a 10x scope and i have some brass rounds, i'm pretty sure i could hit one of it's eyes from a safe distance. After that if i didn't get lucky and pierce it's skull it would probably freak out and run. Once it didn't notice something (like a tiny human) as an immediate threat and stopped i'd go for the other eye. Once it was blind i'd just start trying to hit it's brain.

The absolutely safest way (although very unsportsman like) would be to shoot it right below it's rib cage at 300-400 yards and icepick it's organs than just wait a day or two.

So what’s the point of hollow bones? I was led to believe that the adaptation of hollow bones was nature’s version of topology optimization to lighten the avian skeleton without sacrificing strength (too much)

Idk. So they’re all part of the family hyenidae, which has 4 genuses, each with one species. I don’t know if that’s a high or low number of species to a family, I’m guessing it’s low. Felidae and Canidae are also families, and those have 41 and 37 species within them, respectively.

Sportsmanship doesn’t apply here bro. You need every advantage you can get. Go for the balls.

The question should be, does the Trannasarus have enough teeth and gumpson to eat all the Poster on this thread? I say yes

Nta but I think I heard the deepest penetrating elephant guns were actually in the mid to low range of caliber. 416s and 450s and such. I don't know how true it that is, 600 OK is supposed to outperform 600 NE and 700 NE and 577 TR and I believe 577 can get over five feet of penetration. Ultimately I don't think it's likely at all that a T Rex keeps fighting through any head shot from a 416, 458lt, or even a 375 that lines up within six inches of the brain, from almost any angle.


In any case, bullet selection is the most vital thing. Long brass solids (with some debate over optimal tip design) seem to do best.

I think he should buy a better pipe bomb and blow himself up for good this time.

>>63929319
Part of that comes down to the dog and how it's brought up.
Treat your dog like royalty and never let it learn to be afraid of things, and it'll stand toe to toe with a rex until it ends up swallowed whole, which is probably the best way to treat your dog given we don't have to worry about getting jumped by dinosaurs anymore.

No, I want to broadside it with a .308. But I still think it's a dog.

>So what’s the point of hollow bones?
Weight distribution, first and foremost. Also note "roughly", as it varies massively; something like an albatross (which spends almost its entire life in the air or on water) has bones that are incredibly gracile and light while birds that spend more time on the ground (chickens, pheasants, etc.) have more robust bones and some diving birds don't have pneumatized skeletons at all.

It seems larger dinosaur species didn’t have them. Maybe they did as babies and then lost them?

>>63925680
They're really fucking big. That said, the biggest mammal could probably wrestle with one.

>>63925972
We have dinosaurs that were basically preserved entirely in shape, just not in tissue because it's too old to remain organic like that.

>>63952617
Not entirely true. The largest dinosaur we have direct evidence of a coat of feathers in is Yutyrannus, a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus, that got around 30 ft long, so not as big as Tyrannosaurus, but certainly a large predator. We can't really know for sure even from skin impressions if Tyrannosaurus did not have feathers because they may have just not preserved, but it seems likely they either did not have feathers or only had a sparse covering (similar to modern elephants and hair). It is also probably they had them when young and lost them, we know earlier Tyrannosaurs possessed feathers. If I had to wager I'd say there's probably some epigenetic trigger in terms of environment. Feathers could basically cause you to overheat and die, and this would be worse if you're big and have lots of surface area. Yutyrannus lived in a cold, mountainous environment, which may have played a role in it having a full coat of feathers.

Sportsmanship doesn't enter the equation, my yearly deer harvest involves me on a electric bike, a few dozen dead grouse and a razor scooter.

Grouse don't react to it, i can get to within 6-7 feet of them. I use a .22 crosman air carbine clipped to the shoulder of a backpack. Same with the deer since they are used to people where i hunt them.

The Razor is great since i can fold it up and hide it off trail and it fits into a motor vehicle easily. I shoot the deer, tag it then zip back to the truck/van/ATV for retrieval. Usually i'm less than a thousand feet from where i park at the edge of town.

For deer i'm probably going to get an electric bike this year though as i don't need to dismount it to shoot and saddle bags are nice..

>>63926058
You could just shoot it in the ankle like twice and it would never walk again. Honestly a Trex is pretty much your best bet when it comes to dinosaurs you could have to kill. Unless it’s this beast
