>>63959748 (OP) The many microbioligical predators I already carry would annihilate everything. We're all fucking diseased to hell, we still carry bubonic plague. (We cannot visit some places or we'll kill their population with our breath)
>>63959757 Isn’t that a two way street, yes you are a biological weapons factory/delivery platform, but so is this guy. And I have a feeling that he is going to give you the Cretaceous variant of Hep-C
>>63959757 That's not how it works you fucking mouthbreather. A majority of microbes aren't zoonotic and the ones that are require similar conditions from host to host. There's a reason shit like botulism, salmonella or the plague are such big, unique things.
>>63960320 no but there were constant and widespread moisture and temperature levels that are beyond the wet bulb temperature necessary to overheat and kill a human within a day.
>>63962027 >temperature levels that are beyond the wet bulb temperature necessary to overheat and kill a human within a day. So...it's just rural Mississippi with bigass bugs? Hell, sounds like a good time to me.

>>63959748 (OP) https://www.saildrone.com/news/saildrone-launches-the-future-of-maritime-surveillance-in-the-baltic-sea check this shit out
>>63959748 (OP) There were 0 humans in dinosaur time, i'd have to be psychopathic nation to leave tools to only kill other nations. If there are aliens, this humanity that created that GARBAGE. Should be exterminated.
>>63959851 I actually like the Pulse Rifle from the 1st one better. If we're talking Turok 2 onwards though, give me a Shredder with explosive shells. *pic related is showing buckshot ricochet even though the HUD is showing explosive shells **Red = Explosive **Green = Buckshot
AR15 with a loudener. They're animals, loud gunshots will scare them off, even a t rex wouldnt fuck with that.
Also giant bugs like in the OP were a Carboniferous thing and if you were in the carboniferous you'd more have to worry about the crazy high humidity/heat/oxygen levels making the entre world into a petri dish. Weird prehistoric illnesses are something to worry about in the Cretaceous, but they're guaranteed in the Carboniferous. Though in the Carboniferous I'd still carry buckshot or something for the bugs, lots of them would absolutely fuck with a human
Cryo-pneumatic ice rifle. Just be very careful not to step off the path.

>>63959748 (OP) Don't take anything too exotic because they might not sell ammo for it there.

>>63959967 I’m making my wife listen to the audiobooks. Still one of my favourite silly ringo books. I’m just glad Weber was there to rein in his habit of writing with one hand and provide more science to the fiction.
>>63964374 Arthropleura was like a bug version of a grazing sheep. The big scorpions would be a problem, but they wouldn't be all that worse than a coconut crab.
>>63966949 >Arthropleura was like a bug version of a grazing sheep. I see your words and do not believe them. No bug that big is innocent. Just the combination of big+bug makes them murderous and deserving of termination.
>>63967433 Agreed, although anything carrying an exoskeleton at that size would have been quite slow and clumsy. Still would exercise caution, as even the aforementioned coconut crab will put the hurt on you if given the chance.
>>63967626 On one hand, they were like millipedes, scavengers eating detritus, much more gentle compared to centipedes since the latter are predatory and venomous. On the other hand, they were 8-foot long.
>>63967663 The only difference between food and threat for a scavenger is if the thing can reasonably kill you.

>>63959748 (OP) I wouldn't need a weapon, the second I was eaten it could cause a cascade of death upon them. Germ warfare be a bitch.

>>63966949 the dragonflies would absolutely fuck with humans, and the scorpions would be a MUCH larger problem than coconut crabs. Coconut crabs are scavengers, scorpions are fast, aggressive, active hunters (and potentially venomous)

>>63960320 Naw, but you would probably get winded a bit more easily.
>>63964374 >crazy high humidity Yes, but still doable. >heat Yes, but still doable. >oxygen levels No problem whatsoever for a healthy human.
