If a tyrannosaur is chasing me down I'll just blow it up with one of my many rocket launchers.

Quote from: RagingDragon on May 05, 2014, 07:47:43 AMIt was a rocket launcher, and yes he blew the shit out of that one when they had Arnold cornered.He also blew the leg off another one and god knows how many before spraining his ankle on that hill and crawling into that pipe. Drunk bastard.
Quote from: Vertigo on May 05, 2014, 08:03:23 AMRaptor bite force probably wasn't anything to be sneezed at either. The latest studies indicate Deinonychus had power on par with an alligator.And if we're just going by Jurassic Park, they did chew through several-inch solid metal bars...

The effects of a bite would be very different to a crocodylian though, given the tooth shape - croc teeth are designed for gripping slippery fish and pinning large animals in place while they roll and drag, Deinonychus teeth are designed for ripping meat away.
