How would you destroy/stop a resurrected dinosaur?

Some people think that eventually a "Jurassic Park" like situation will become available: Where animals from the 'pre historic eras' will be resurrected through advanced DNA technology, and we will be able to see live walking breathing dinosaurs, saber toothed cats, cave bears, pterodactyls, and other creatures, the only limit being that we will need to find functional DNA that can be spliced and grown into fully mature creatures.

Now, let's say at some point in the future this happens. And let's say when it does happen, humans still only have advanced projectile weapons and have not yet developed hand held directed energy weapons like on Star Wars and Star Trek. People basically have advanced powder or nano metallurgy steel knives (perhaps diamond fiber or carbon nanotube but nothing super like the "Chain Swords" of War Hammer) and advanced versions of our current semi and fully automatic pistols and rifles and other weapons.

In that scenario, what would it take to kill/stop a raptor or t rex or similiar large dinosaur who was looking at you as an easy food target?

Based on what we know of reptiles and other creatures, and their scales and armor and their body-weapons, what types of knives and guns and weapons would it take to stop such a creature?

I say we lift off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

WOW that is some piece of hardware! Cool!

Game over, man!

I was going to say that. :)

BTW, a T Rex would be easier to kill than a modern armored vehicle and we have lots of ways to make them uncomfortable places to be inside of. I don't see much problem with them at our current level of technology. Now Viruses and Prions and such things can be pretty resilient. Malaria, lungworms, liver flukes and those human heartworm things scare me much more than any reptile that has walked this earth. People don't think about biological warfare much now but late cold war stuff that we were trained about was terrifying. There are still places off limits because of testing done and still dangerous decades later. Dinos would be just targets and not particularly difficult to deal with. Of those the small fast ones would last the longest. Think of how successful rats are. Ever try dealing with them outside of using poisons? That's the main reason cats and small terrier breed dogs were so successful. They do that job better than we can.

Easy, Give them a video game system and internet access. They’ll never even get off the couch after that. Problem solved.

One main thing making reptile population control easier is that their egg clutch is generally a sedentary easy target once the adults are away. Unlike where pregnant mammals take their offspring with them internally to birth them wherever they may end up.

+2 they wouldn't be abundant and big enough to cause more harm than a group of terrorist people, a virus, an airstrike or a tank.

In fact, you could send a tank to a city infested with huge T-Rexes, Triceratops and such and they would stand no chance against an Abrams loaded with armor piercing SABOTs. :cool:

They would even come towards the tank to see what's that weird thing moving around. The .50 cal at the top would make short work of smaller, faster dinos, and its bullets would even be lethal for the biggest of reptiles

Simple. You breed and handb raise a herd if raptors. Then you saddle train them and mount .50's on their backs and ride them around like battle raptors killing all the bad dinosaurs.

True, unless the bad dinosaurs are cross-bred with raptors and the raptors turn on their trainers at a crucial moment during the battle. :p :D

Geez do I have to think of everything? You just fit them with slave collars that remote detonate if they turn bad. C'mon man this is dinopocalypse 101.

Hahahahaha! :D But didn't they already try that in Suicide Squad?? I mean, the Joker was able to hack the technology to save Harley Quinn. What if the bad dinos do the same? :p :D

[Doc Dan]

Since they have been finding unfossilized dino tissue, it is only a matter of time before they find a way to sequence DNA from some sample. After that, if it is a TRex or other theropod, they can use a turkey or something and bring one back to life. However, it may be simpler than that. They have found that they can turn on sections of bird DNA that is actually dino DNA and bring back dino characteristics. They will one day not stop at one or two features but will bring out a full blown dinosaur. After that, once they are bred and there are enough of them, people will hunt them to near extinction, then they will be protected, then delisted and hunted again, and so forth. We have plenty of arms capable of taking down the largest of them, despite Hollywood.

[SG89]

Ice cream and bacon cheeseburgers ought to slow the dinosaurs down. It sure worked on me :P
