I'm a huge fan of cheesey horror. I love the really cheesy SyFy originals with some freaky genetically modified creatures; giant spiders, sharktopus, giant lizards and sharknado. While watching these silly movies I got to thinking; What would be the best round for freak monster outbreaks?

I'm thinking a lever gun in 45-70, enough power without being too cumbersome while trying to escape a rampaging sharkbear. I also think the 45-70 would have enough penatration to hit the vitals of an angry ogre or Sasquatch. I like the idea of 577 tyranasour but the recoil makes a quick follow up shot nearly impossible. Thoughts?

.600 nitro would be the round I want lol. Can we make an Ar that fires a few of them?

BFG

I got cable back on after 2 yrs and been watching the cheezy horrors on SyFy like a fiend in the last 48 hrs

 

My gun for beasts would be the 8GA Shotgun......if that doesnt work......The Entire Wall of Burt Gummer

Burt is the man.

Burt Gummer is the coolest. Between him and that guy Enrique from Terminator 2, I got a serious prepper influence during my childhood

I loved tremors. I think that is where my fascination of guns came from. I still want my basement to look like that

I cant watch scary movies.

Really upset I miss sharknado.

 

How about a .50 desert eagle as a side piece

 

 

This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity

You can get a .50 BMG rifle down to the size and weight of a SAW. And even with a 22" barrel it can be fired while standing with greater or similar terminal performance to all of those calibers. Plus explosive and AP rounds are common and cheap.

 

I'm going with that.

If we have Sci-Fi monsters, I want a Sci-Fi gun:

 

ZF-1

 

If I am restricted to conventional firearms, I will take a GAU-8

A death ray of course. Scifi monster gets a scifi weapon.

BFG

Oh DOOOOM!!! hahah yes!

Big Fuggin Gun!

Anyone remember that movie The Mist. With the creatures in it. Everytime I see that I ask my self what guns would work on all that shit that came out of the Mist. lol

AA12 or saiga loaded with a drum mag full of 00 buck or possibly slugs.

At last one person gets it

I don't think there is a best firearm, since those scifi channel creatures come in all shapes and sizes. But if I had to pick something it would be something like an AR-10 or M1A, since I figure .308 should cover every thing up to T-Rex size while still being small enough and maneuverable enough to deal with large numbers of smaller creatures.

 

This topic reminds me of a dream I had a few months ago. In that dream I was at my parents house with my relatives as we waited for an approaching hurricane, that we were expecting to be more than just be a hurricane. I was standing on the front steps watching the storm come in, clouds growing dark, wind picking up, some slight rain starting. Across the street in the neighbors back yard a dog starts howling and then I spot them. Three small raptors running though the backyards of those houses across the street, which then eat the dog. I than headed inside and said "Well It looks like this storm is going to bring a Dino outbreak. I'll grab the guns" (which news of did not surprise anyone) and went up to the attic to grab all my guns and ammunition to start passing them out. "M1 Garand, grab the red boxes of .30-06, Mini-14 grab the .223/5.56, Mossberg 500 grab the 12 ga., Lee-Enfield .303, ...etc".  Next I called up my grandfather to see if he was going to be alright, to which said "I'll be fine, we are fortifying the community center of the retirement village and turning it into a C&C Center" Of course because this was a dream I could see what was going on there, and I saw a bunch of old military vets setting up defensive positions carrying old military and hunting rifles. Some people were even wearing their old combat gear. I knew he was going to be fine. Then some long time family friends showed up, who live near Oyster Creek Nuclear power plant. with to AR-15s. The figured it was safer to come to my parents place than stay at there place because as everyone knows Nuclear Power Plants + Hurricane + Dinosaurs is pretty much a guaranteed recipe for disaster. We then started discussing whether or not we should find a more solid structure to hold up in since a house does not offer much protection from the larger dinosaurs. Then sadly my alarm went off and I woke up. It was one of the most awesome dreams I have ever had. So screw the Zombie Apocalypse, I want a Dino Apocalypse.!  

^^^  Why can't I have cool dreams like this?  Usually I dream about going to work or some crap.  Then I wake up and, of course, go to work.  Lame!

^^ wtf? I would be happy to just remember my dreams.

If you want some cool dreams... wait until your dead tired, drink a cup of coffee and then take a nap directly after.... I usually have a cup after work, and sometimes i have time for a quick nap... i don't think i have ever had such vivid dreams... I've even managed to wake my self up kicking and screaming....

To be fair an awesome dream like that for me is extremely rare. Only about 2 to 3 times a month when I wake up I'll even remember that I had a dream, though I won't remember anything from it. About once every 2-3 months I'll have a dream which I can remember, but are generally very random (like one second I am in my house then the next I am on a plane, then walking around my elementary school). Then maybe once a year I'll have what I call a stable dream (which is a dream in which there is a bit of narrative to end events for the most part mostly make sense, though there is usually still a couple of random elements). Now dreams like that Dinosaur one which are extremely cool happen once in measurements of years. (the previous dream that I had that was that cool was about 6 years prior.)

agreed, sci fi creatures, sci fi weapon. the judges also would have accepted the pulse rifle.

Cause who cares if your state limits you at 15 rounds when your gun is a .50 cal.

 

EDIT: I'm assuming these mags are NJ-legal because they're solely for .50 Beowulf?

I would think so but I don't know much about those magazines. Are there differences in the magazine body compared to typical AR-15 mags or are the same except for the follower. Because if they are the same except for the follower they could potentially get you on it being "easily convertible to hold more then 15 rounds, if they really wanted to, though I doubt it unless  you really pissed of the police and they were looking for any excuse to stick you with something. Even then the charge might not stick.
