"Great" movies you can't stand

[Tsukiyumi]

Agreed. Although, a seven-inch bone kukri coming down on top of you with a half-ton dinosaur behind it is, I think, scary enough on its own.

No doubt.

[Sionnach Glic]

Hey, at least that would be a relatively quick end, rather than being torn apart by a pack of velociraptors or deinonychus.

[Mikey]

That is the deinonychus. The center of their three toes had a huge, sickle-shaped talon; instead of attacking a prey animal's hindquarters like modern hyenas or canids, they would leap and come down with those big claws extended.

[Tsukiyumi]

I'd be more worried about the 'raptors, personally. The deinonychus would probably be large and slow enough to fill with 9mm rounds. The 'raptors would be smaller, faster, better able to hide, so of course, tougher targets...

Not that I'd be happy about running into them either way...

[Mikey]

I don't think the deinonychus was slow, considering the leg and hip development.

In any event, I wouldn't be too confident with 9mm rounds against one. I think a good old slow-moving, high-cavitation .45 round would do better.

[Tsukiyumi]

Possibly. I use these primarily. Add the 17-round mag capacity, and I'd be fairly confident up against a freaking grizzly. I just think the 'raptors would be harder to hit.

[Mikey]

What is that? They seem like legal-loophole dum-dums or something.

Titanic was the worst drek I've seen. The best character was the iceberg.

Well, here's all three ammo types I currently have:



From left to right: the Hydrashok, then +P+ round, and Blue Glaser, which I only have a few of since they're $2 per round.

And three mags, 17 rounds apiece:



I practice a lot; can reload a mag in less than a second with my eyes closed if they're on my belt. Of course, against more than three deinonychus, I wouldn't be so confident.

[Tyyr]

Actually dromesaurs are almost always shown the wrong size. The creatures in that episode are still too big even for a deinonychus. They're more like young Utahraptors.

Oh, and there's nothing illegal about hollowpoint rounds. The military can't use them but nothing stops a civilian.

[Tsukiyumi]

...nothing stops a civilian.

Especially one with hollowpoints.

[Tyyr]

I've got a whole box of .38 special hollowpoints in my closet and an even dozen stored in easy reach near my revolver.

I only have about a hundred rounds of hollowpoints; the other 200 are plain vanilla target ammo.

[Tyyr]

More than I got. I just keep a single box of hollowpoints around and all the rest is target ammo. The target stuff is expensive enough, forget the hollowpoints. I mean it's .38 special, still costs a small fortune.

I've got a friend who works at a gun range; employee discount FTW!
