Man, beating up children on halloween is the closest you can get to living in an rpg. Myriad monsters that drop random loot on defeat. Fun.

A .50 BMG would probably work. Probably. .45-70? Nah.

I mean you can hunt elephant with the 4570. Wouldn't be crazy to think a trex would be possible. Hard to tell without seeing the skin.

Forget the headshot. Everyone knows a T-Rex has a brain the size of a walnut.
MeowWoof
So chickens can take so much damage that cutting off their head isn't an instant kill. Now I'm picturing myself chased by headless dinos thx
LateNightBunnyParty
Mike the Headless Chicken.
Fishkeeper
It's not that they can take a lot of damage, it's that sometimes beheading one misses the brainstem. Any animal can last a bit if the
Fishkeeper
brainstem is left intact, though that's trickier depending on brain and skull shape.
LateNightBunnyParty
You're thinking of stegosaurus. T-Rex had a brain a little smaller than a human's.
Efreeti
During the time T-Rex was around, Stegosaurus had been extinct longer than T-Rex has currently been extinct.
LateNightBunnyParty
Yes, this is true. Not sure what it has to do with brain size, though.
Efreeti
I was thinking dozens of millions of years of evolution explains larger average brain sizes among animals, but I suppose that's not a given.
LateNightBunnyParty
Encephalization really has little to do with that, though. Plenty of stego contemporaries with larger brains.

Compared to an elephant, how much of a bigger bullet would a T-Rex need?
Ghlargh
Based on T-rex being earlier in evolution i would expect it to be more vulnerable to all kinds of attack, less time to evolve protection.
RatherDashingOne
There is a caliber called 577 tyrannosaur. Much better for trex than a 45-70.
JohnnyLawlessEsq
1) Depends on what your needs are. Rapid kill? Nothing person-portable short of a Carl Gustav will do the job. If you just want it to...
JohnnyLawlessEsq
2) die *eventually,* then a .50 caliber rifle loaded with those fancy Raufoss armor-piercing-high-explosive-incendiary rounds would do it.
ctriis87
Much smaller than an elephant for sure.
DVSBSTrD
About the same, actually.
colt64
According to A Sound Of Thunder by Ray Bradbury, you've got to shoot them in the eyes first to blind them, then aim for the brain.
ThisIsYourLifeNow
yes.
magila
When I hunt Tyrannosaurus I use bullets made of platinum, because if I used leaden ones his hide would surely flatten em'.
CHARM3R
Kind of surprised that no one has pointed out that any bullet will do considering they're all already dead.
VIIVIIIIX
Tyrannosaurus Rex was roughly the size of a modern turkey. Far easier to have sex with than we previously imagined.
LokiShinigami
Elephant skin is actually quite soft, I think a Trex would be closer to a Rhino's skin in thickness, but with armored plating like a croc
PaulHavingABall
Probably like six or seven bigger.
backrideup9
A .177 caliber pellet fired @ Mach1 would probably do the trick. Size isnt everything. Or maybe a 3726 MPH slap to the face.
Revyloution
Mach 1 is only the speed of sound. Most rounds travel faster than that. A .177 Reound at that speed would just annoy an elephant
tlamstrike
I have air rifles that push that speed with pellets beefier than .177, it wouldn't. Biggest game I'd go for with something like that...
tlamstrike
...would be a fox, maybe a coyote if I didn't have a choice because it was going to eat my neighbor's dog.
Bossco20
I remember the head of security for Jurassic Park mentioned taking down dinasours is a pain because they're practically armored monsters
IMainReinhardt
Just use a 700 nitro Express. That bitch will kill a building
InnocentIntentionsTurnedBad
According to my interactive study guide by name of Dino Crisis, anything from a glock to RPG will do just fine. A shotgun is good to go!
Lichelf
I'd assume a T-Rex is actually less bullet resistant than an elephant based on its build and elephant skin. Of course there's no way to know
Isorikk
Have you seen an old colonial cannon ball?
elbowdeepinagoose
50 BMG would be more than enough. Other rounds with proper projectile type (e.g. 30-06) would do the job if you hit vitals.
WhaaatDa
Same. Gun is rated for big African game. It would kill a dinosaur
squiddna
Depends on what the t-rex is chambered for.
yakovsmirnoffbiggestfan
The Marlin in question is .45-70
coreydeangibson6
But what caliber is the trex
Gilgamech
8 ft, so 72,000 caliber?
Nocturnalswitch
Didn't Tembo in lost world bring an elephant gun to bag the T-Rex
Baron29
I think anything that would kill an elephant would work on a T-Rex
InnocentIntentionsTurnedBad
But what of a rhino, crocodile or hippopotamus?
HawkFace13
Good question. I think elephantshould are heavier
Gilgamech
I was going to ask that, but didn't want to be called out for being obviously wrong.
kurmathephoenix
What !?? That’s not the first time… I called you out on that repeatedly
IAlwaysUpvoteLowBudgetCreativeWork
T-REX autopsy :-) https://youtu.be/LH7g446gPG4
IAlwaysUpvoteLowBudgetCreativeWork
What about density of the skin/body and how deep inside are the vital organs?
MicrosoftWizard7
I would think so, but dinos fought eachother alot, some where armored
minipancho94
I mean technically a single .22 would do both in if you can wait for lead poisoning and infection to do the rest...if we're being humane 1/2
minipancho94
You'd need to line up a shot from the side and hit the lungs. Even boars can deflect a slug or high powered rifle round and prevent a 2/3
minipancho94
Clean kill if you try for a head shot or hit their shoulder blades. To drop a charging T-rex is another story though. 3/3
BORGALOOGIE
Don’t forget the Reptilian field of the T-Rex vs Mammalian field of Elephants, my guess is bullets don’t need more impact than elephants
nightster07
You mean birdian field?
ThePretentiousGentleman
Yeah but compare elephant skin to like Saltwater Crocodile skin, and the latter has pretty hardy skin.
BORGALOOGIE
Crocodile is also very much like a dinosaur— good contrast— don’t forget elephants also came from mammoths, both still newer than 65M years.
BORGALOOGIE
Cock-ring T-Rex… Right?
minipancho94
Skin isn't the main issue, it's dense bone deflecting the round from vitals. Shooting a boar from the front gets you gored.
BORGALOOGIE
Give me something for the pain and let me die.
ThePretentiousGentleman
andrewedf10
a lot. you want something like a 20mm. you might really only get one shot and even if it can kill it, you want it dead now. not in 2 mins
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
Lol no. They use 40-60 cal rifles on elephants, which is 10-15mm rounds. A 20mm wouldn't even be able to be carried theyre like 100lbs.
TheS4ndm4n
I always bring my 76mm when I go T-Rex hunting. Never failed.
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
Lol kill the t-rex that's on a Caribbean island while never leaving the states.
nemocares
That isn't really any different from the elephant you know.
andrewedf10
t rex is much bigger, could have something like rino skin. trex is a preadtor not a something that eats plant. risk is higher.
nemocares
You talked about how fast it needs to die, not how large it is. You will not survive an elephant stomping on you. That said, the elephant /1
nemocares
does have very tough, rather rhino-like skin and isn't that much smaller than the T. Rex (10 tons vs 14 tons for the largest).
IAlwaysUpvoteLowBudgetCreativeWork
I have no idea how well protected were their vital organs. Nor if they had thick skin. Should ask a paleontologist :-)

They're extinct after the opening of Jurassic Park.

theshinobi23
*open question on the internet, for anyone to answer* "idk. Ask someone else."
NZSheeps
They had to have thick skin because of all of the jokes about their arms
iguessihaveto
We could probably extrapolate based on the flesh density of an ostrich and just scale up the thickness. Way beyond my pay grade though.
minoshirokin
It takes about 10 .303 caliber bullets to kill an emu. That's kinda like an ostrich. Not sure how to scale up either but it's a start
Totalwombat
10 bullets or one lucky swipe with a stout stick. To snap a da neck
battery1979
Explains why the Australians lost to them.
chastidy
You the type of guy to answer Amazon product questions with "I don't know". They're optional questions designed for those who know lol
Gilgamech
I'm hoping one of those Imgur Doctors will show up, and that we'll get lucky with a paleontology PhD instead of an MD.
DethShartBSideU
All these ah.... yeah friends I'd ask Ross.
SonderingStrike
I don't think there are many paleontology MDs so we are safe
LordNergal
I'm not a paleontologist, but I do use a time machine to hunt dinosaurs. And the answer is: Not any bigger. Modern reconstructions get the 1
LordNergal
muscles entirely wrong. That said... they're also a LOT faster than modern books say, so you need to surprise them. 2/2
WTexasStoner
Hardest part is sprinkling salt on their tail without them knowing.
JustHereForTheMemes0321
Confirmed
jjw9
Largest African elephant was 13’ tall @ shoulder & 24,000 lbs. Largest T-Rex was 12’ tall $@ shoulder & 19,000 lbs. …
jjw9
So any “elephant gun” cartridge would suffice to take down a T-Rex. The Marlin 1895 shown in .45-70 is too “light” for elephant …
LychFinderGeneral
Makes sense. Owen's shots on the Indomitus Rex were completely ineffective
jjw9
The customized version in .50 Alaskan by WWG would have marginal power for the largest bull elephants. Your best cartridges for elephant
jjw9
start at the .458 Win Mag. .460 WBY, and .500, .577 & .600 Nitro Express all have adequate power for elephant. There’s ultra high-powered
jjw9
exotic cartridges such as the .700 NE, .585 Nyati, .577 T-Rex & .600 Overkill, but they are exceptionally brutal on the shooter.
FrogBotherer
Not much, T. Rex wasn't much bigger than an African bull elephant.
AtypicalMammal
Reptiles are more resilient to gunshots because their blood flows slower, I don't know I'm full of s***
Jamroast
.700 nitro express should do the trick..
WhyDontYouMakeMe
The elephant weighs 8000lbs, but the T Rex only ever got to 7000kg. Makes sense that they're the same size
exosquadwasmyfavoriteshowwheniwasachild
... huh?
WhyDontYouMakeMe
They are nowhere near the same size
exosquadwasmyfavoriteshowwheniwasachild
Well yeah... just odd phrasing in my sleep deprived brain.
TheSlurmFactory
No, but we don't know how thick their skin was in comparison, or if I might have had osteoderms like other reptiles
AntRam95
Or how thick the feathers were
FNOldGuys
Wouldn't that show in fossils?
TheSlurmFactory
Skin? That's extremely rare. Even calcified skin like osteoderms
archfile101
And 45-70 isn't really a good choice for elephant either as despite being large enough bullet, it's pretty marginal on energy ad penetration
swedeonamoose
700 Nitro express would do the trick, unless it is a Spino since apperently not even a HE 50cal can bring those down (JP3 was so silly)
Keairan
Well, we have the skin of an ankylosaur preserved, so we could use that as extrapolation. ~3.3 mm is about max thickness for non-avian (1)
Keairan
dinosaurs according to the paper I found https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pala.12470
TheSlurmFactory
Using an Ankylosaur, an armored dino, as a stand in for T-Rex doesn't really make much sense

Well yeah, but mass and volume are a bit different. Probably only like 90 washing machines in volume.
PonyMadness

Volume largely irrelevant and/or misleading. Mass never lies.
