I think if you could hunt dinosaurs. The term, hunting wagon, would take on a whole new meaning.

    Agreed.  I think the whole idea of a safari gets redefined.

    Are we planning on eating / displaying our dinosaur after we kill it? If not, my choice is a MK-19 and three friends to carry/clean/feed it. Or an LAV with a 25MM Bushmaster cannon.

    Here's a 50BMG carbine...or as close to carbine size as you likely to get in that caliber

    Scroll down to the FA50(T), second gun on the page

    I suppose Massad Ayoob's "Jurassic Snark" about leather jackets and multiple sharp knives would fit in nicely:

    I don't know for sure but it probably tastes like chicken .    .    .    :cool   I imagine the herbivores would taste better as in the case of mammals.  What to do with that much hide? - Probably give it to Luke Adams in exchange for a holster at some point.   Teeth and claws would probably make for some interesting conversation pieces. 

    Seriously though, you just KNOW some knucklehead would eventually consider it a "challenge" to take down a major sauropod with a black powder rifle or some sort of handgun.    :facepalm

    I dunno, alligator tastes pretty good... properly slow barbecued over hickory or mesquite with a splash of Tabasco?  :P

    Do we forget that cops were primarily still using 6 Shot Revolvers well through the mid 80's? It wasn't until after 1986 that most departments then relented and went to autos.
    Capacity wasn't really an issue then... and honestly really it's not even an issue now.
    Ray Chapman, used to say that the 125-grain Magnum load’s almost magical stopping power was the only reason to load .357 instead of .38 Special +P ammunition into a fighting revolver chambered for the Magnum round. I agree. - Massad Ayoob

    Paradoxically it is those who strive for self-reliance, who remain vigilant and ready to help others.

    I dunno - that guy in the turret is awfully exposed.  Can he get lower?
