X - 1

Remember when Tam posted about the best round to take down a dinosaur? Lots of good info on cartridge selection there via a sci-fi short story by Sprague De Camp.

Well I linked the online radio show for "What Gun for Tyrannasaur." Thanks to Jim Lileks, there is a source to PURCHASE that whole X Minus One radio series from the 1950's.

I love pulp sci-fi. I love radio serials. Yay.

For purposes of argument, I think these day a .50 BMG semi-auto is the way to go. Not much call for .600 elephant guns, but Barrett sniper rifles are plentiful.

And never divide X by zero. Trust me.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
