From what I have seen, put me on the U.S.S. New Jersey bombarding from offshore.
Dinosaur Gun(s)

I'm surprised that no one else has thought of this. No matter what weapon ya take with you, remember to file off the front sight. That was it will not hurt as MUCH when Dino shoves it up your ***.

I would hand my 458 Lott to a T-Rex for him to shoot and he'd run away askeerd.

Something belt-fed, .30 or .50 cal.
I found it's a flare gun, but it worked fine in Lake Placid..

This is a Smith & Wesson forum, for pete's sake. Obviously, a K-22 Outdoorsman would suffice ... for knee-capping
Well, that's just silly.
Rely on your trusty Model 10.
Unless they've replaced them recently, they were 14 inchers. Probably big enough to do the job on T-Rex.
Ma deuce for me.

Haevn't followed the Jurassic Park movies, although I saw one, maybe the first.
But I was a great fan of the TV show, "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World".
On it, Prof. Challenger had a double rifle, as did reporter Ned Malone. I think they said once that these were .450's. Lord John Roxton, VC, had a .416 Rigby. Pistols were Colt .45 autos and .455 Webleys. Some also had MK IV .38 Webleys, I think standing in for .455's. Prof. Challenger had a Colt SAA with 5.5-inch barrel. Finn used her crossbow.
Marguerite Krux had .32 or .38 revolvers and a Lee-Enfield sporter, prob. stlll in .303 caliber.
They shot raptors that resembled Troodon, and were about 6-7 feet tall and probably weighing 100-150 pounds. For T-rexes, I think they just evaded them, although the delectable Veronica, armed only with knives, swung out on a vine and caused a T-rex chasing her to fall over a cliff.
Episodes are still on YouTube. Search for The Lost World, or by names of the characters or the actors. Or, by episode. Try, "Suspicion", "Finn", Trophies", and "Tapestry" for some good episodes that I like. It was a really good show, with both sci-fi and jungle adventure aspects.
I looked at some dino skeletons, and think the relatively open skull structure (holes in skull) might make a side brain shot OK on Allosaurus, but the T-rex skull has more solid bone. And you'd probably have to be on a hill, shooting at the dinosaur's height, to make a kill. Frontal shots to the head encounter more bone, and sloping surfaces.
I'd shoot right under the head, hoping to break the neck. A knee shot might bring one down.
I'd take a .375 H&H Magnum and have the party carry RPG's.

I would have to opt for an old Mossberg 22. You shoot him in
knees and when he buckles you run up and jam Mossberg in
his jaws, which will choke him to death from the bulk!

Yup, I'd definitely use the 16" guns on the New Jersey with the AP shell. Kill them,skin them then cook them all in one salvo. There got you covered. tea and binkies anyone?. Frank

How about a Marlin SBL 45/70. With some good hard cast heavy bullets.

Thinking back on, David Drake of Hammers Slammers fame wrote some time travel stories about dino safaris. Drake knows his guns, and he armed his lead guide with an M1 Garand converted to take BAR mags and loaded with black tip AP rounds....however I seem to recall that they had a Russian 12.7mm HMG at their camp.
Something to consider is that, barring time travel, any dinosaurs walking around to shoot would be recreations rather than the original models. Thus we have the question of whether that might alter behavior, intelligence, etc.

I have always liked an over and under for a lot of things...
In this case the 50 caliber would be a great choice for the top
barrel, mostly if it was a tracer. If it did not do the job my little
friend would be on the way to wife up anything left.
Plus you don't have to carry these weapons, something that is
nice when you get older and you have a nice comfortable seat
and a ride to get away if things go bad.
Yep........
this would be my choice.
a 50 with a 106 backup.

I'm thinking a Bradley....... 25mm chain gun and 4 TOWs seem GTG.
or maybe a
LAV-25....... with a few Javelins in the back!

Of what I have at hand...
45-70 GBL with 420g cast bullets @ 1800fps
and
Ruger 480
Nothing currently on the planeet could walk away from those
but
SHTF and some scientist DOES make a dinosaur, I'm gonna go with a Ma Deuce and/or a Dillon gun.
This is ONLY because I can't fly and don't have access to an A 10.

The biggest, baddest gun I have may not be enough to drop a dinosaur, even with a well placed shot. I don't really know, since no one has ever shot one.
If something escapes from our local zoo, I'm probably covered!
