I know its a fictional story but I,m still wondering if it's possible... Give me some opinion.

I think it would depend where you shoot it at. I think the head might kill it... or possibly down it's throat if you had to. hahaha.

It doesn't matter very much. If you recall, the T-Rex is due to die anyway (from a falling tree or similar). Therefore the shotgun is just to make the hunters feel like they are doing the killing.

Of course, when things go wrong - that damned Eckels! - I suppose it would be comforting to know that the shotgun would get you out of a hole...

(I think this is a job for Mythbusters!)

I think you could, with the right gun. I mean, you have to remember that the story is set in the future, meaning that they have more advanced technology. (Obviously, if they have a working time machine!) So, it's possible that they created more powerful guns that are able to kill T-rexes.

actually it would be impossible,u see a shotgun is powerful only because of the mass of tiny balls flying at you at high speeds,not because of its penetrating power,and iether way its very difficult to aim with a shotgun,now if u had one of those new fully auto 12 gauges,that would improve your chance but i highly doubt its killing power considering the game,ontop of that,the story specifically states that they are using riffles,not shotguns,and in modern day a 50 cal could stop a t rex and maybe an elephant gun,not sure about that one,but anything after that would have to be a powerful explosive of some type.

I find a Glock 9mm usually does the trick.

Use any weapon you choose, just don't step off the path!

Erick! Are you suggesting that Turok isn't a REAL person?

Anyone besides me know whence cometh the gauging of shotguns?
I found it quite interesting.

john frusciante? anyway,im suggesting that supremely unrealistic propositions shouldnt be hinted at in the first place ie. glock 9mm killing a t rex
