Terrance's Story: Jurassic Park Chapter 9

Good chapter. I don't know a lot about guns, but I'm going to guess that the Barrett M82A1 is a fairly good sniper.

Great chapter. That room would be like heaven to me.

Nice. I'm not surprised you included a chapter all about weapons, haha

Thanks guys, and I'd love that room too.

UCMP, the Barrett M82A1 Anti-Material Sniper Rifle is an amazing sniper rifle. It is 10 round semiautomatic, accurate at over a mile, and low recoiled considering what it is due to the fact that the barrel moves back and springs in the stock. It does have flip up iron sights available, but scopes are usually preferred. The Anti Material part means it was originally meant for use on vehicles and other metal objects, not PEOPLE. It will rip a hole in an engine block at a mile.

Great chapter, as always.

The Barret is a 50. cal sniper with incredible power. But bolt actions are more accurate, then again, Muldoon is living in hell with massive beasts, so getting another couple rounds off quicker might be crucial.

Now, I like Muldoon a lot, but nobody ever talks any about Roland Tembo, the Rex hunter from JP 2: Lost World. He had some cool jeeps.

If took a shotgun to Isla Sorna or Nublar, I'd take a 4 gauge shotgun (though it'd probably turn my shoulder to dust).

I love his custom Searcy Double Barrel Rifle chambered in .600 Nitro Express, Elephant Gun, and LAR Grizzly Big-Bore tranquilizer rifle.

I see, sounds pretty cool. I do agree that Roland Tembo is underrated, perhaps it's just that Muldoon was in the first movie (which everbody liked) and Tembo was in the third movie (not so much).

We talk about Tembo sometimes. Tembo is pretty cool, as were the some of the vehicles used in TLW.

As for the accuracy of the Barrett M82A1 vs a bolt action, that's a myth invented Call of Duty. Accuracy is in the barrel, the bullet, the trigger, and the shooter. You could have an inexperienced shooter using a .50 BMG bolt action (let's say the McMillan Tac 50), and a semi experienced guy using the M82A1. The semi experienced guy beats the inexperienced guy most of the time (there is the odd time the inexperienced guy is lucky or has natural talent). 

Where bolt action beats semi is in reliability. Bolt action is easier to maintain because there is no gas system to cycle the next round. There are less moving parts with a bolt action, and the bolt action is less likely to jam. Most semis are picky for what ammo you use in them, but a bolt action will take a quality round just as well as they take a crap round. 

Back to the concern about ammo affecting accuracy, I can say for a fact, that this is true. With my .22, I had a 3-9x40 scope on it, and at 50 yards, I was getting dime sized groups with that scope using CCI 36 grain hollowpoints. Right now, I have a 6-24x42 scope, and at 30-40 yards, I am getting groups that I can't cover with the palm of my hand. I know what I'm capable of, I know what the gun is capable of, so the only thing screwing it over is the ammo. I even have a bipod on my .22 now that I didn't have when I had the 3-9 scope.

UCMP, Tembo was in the second movie.

I just went full retard.

But still, the first movie had a bigger fan base than the second movie as well. So my argument is still valid.

I guess.

Dammit, forgot to say the bullet that's f*cking over my accuracy. Those crap round are Winchster Dynapoint GT 40 grain hollowpoints.

I didn't hear the semi vs bolt action from call of duty, I heard it on a sniping show on History channel.

Heck, I don't even have call of duty (though I do play COD Ghosts with my friend, whom is thinking about joining the site). The only gaming stations I have are a fat Ps2 and a Wii.

I like playing Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 on the ps2, and Cabela's African Adventures 2013 on the Wii.
