A giant t-rex drinking out of your pool. So you decide to protect your family. What gun would you use. The rules are it has to be one that you currently own, in your posession in your house. None of you military guys can say you want to use your tanks or m2hb's...

I would have to grab my m16a1 with all the ammo and magazines I could find and start shooting it in the neck with ss109 rounds.

ETA: oh yeah I forgot to add I watched Jurrasic Park 2 last night

8mm Mauser, because it has the best chance of what I own at penetrating its skull.  I would shoot it in the eyeball.  Most likely the round will travel through into his brain and put him down.  It should have no problem.  Hell, my uncle killed an elephant with an M-16... no lie.

Afterwards, I would have an eighteen wheeler brought in to haul him to the taxidermist.

I'd shoot him in the balls with a .22.  After he was down I'd finish him off with a sharp stick.

That's why I'm shooting for the eye, if you don't get brain you at least got one eye out of the way.  With eyes on the sides of his head, he's gonna have a tough time with only one.

I think a brain shot is out of the question, you're talking about a target the size of a large walnut in a 3ft by 7ft skull, how do you know where it's at in there? unload into his chest. probably with my M1 and followed up by an FAL if he hasn't killed me yet.

I would call my liberal neighbor and tell them someone was taking their Kerry sign.  When they run outside the T-Rex will attempt to eat them, but they will become lodged in it's throat and chokes to death.  Poor thing.

I'd shoot for his eye and continue head shots... with all the fragmentation, something is BOUND to hit part of his brain eventually.  You not only have the brain, you have the spinal cord, nerves, etc. going through there.  Something important enough to take him down will eventually be hit.

FAL
.223 ain't gonna do shit but .308 at least gives you a chance if you have great shot placement or hit the vitals enough times. Besides, it's the biggest I got.
Aim for the sensory organs, esp eyes initially. Neck would be good but if that weren't stopping his advance, knees might work until you could do enough damage to bleed him out.

You didn't state how this T-Rex came into being.  Is it a clone T-Rex?  Or is it a zombie T-Rex?

Because, you have to handle those two situations completely different.

Wait until he's got his head down, drinking from the pool,  facing away from me.

I take my trusty Browning Auto 5 Light Twelve, loaded with slugs,  and at that moment, shoot him in the balls.  

He responds to the incredible disabling pain by falling  face first into the pool.   He can't get up because I've just slopped a couple of gallons of oil on the pool deck.  

He drowns, head in the pool.

If it's female,  I wait for it to take a drink from the pool, same as above. I then shoot it in the twat.  Same results.

According to a friend of mine who lived in Kenya, most elephant poachers use AKs...you don't need much penetration when you shoot it 30 times on full auto.

I would go and get my good old .30-06 and load up some barnes solids I have laying around for an upredictible event such as this. Where to aim would be the question, my guess would be a good spine shot should slow it down if not paralize it till I could finish it off with a spoon.

My uncle was a Special Forces officer and was sent to Vietnam.  He was in a small village in a place that he can't say the name of when an elephant ran through tearing shit up, just causing a major problem.  They tried to get it stopped but it was doing too much damage so he grabbed his CAR and shot it in the face.  Not sure how many shots, but it went down... dead.

He told the story and he is the type of person that if he says ANYTHING at all, it is 100% true.  Very soft-spoken man... doesn't talk much at all.  Worked at the Pentagon under Colin Powell during Desert Storm as a Colonel.
