This : http://www.armyproperty.com/Equipment-I ... /XM107.jpg fires a round that can go through 1 inch thick steel plate at 2,000 yards. It would barely even notice a crocodile as it passed through.

Come on, we wipe out whole species with out trying but we cant take this thing out... pathetic.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

In all fairness, Graham, do you think you'd feel safe if you went hunting for a creature that killed 300 other humans? I can see why people have stayed away from him, they like their lives too much.

If I had a rifle and a small truck I'd feel perfectly safe hunting any land animal on Earth.

its the luring the big bugger in close enough to get a clear shot could be the problem. I'm pretty sure with a well enough financed & organised group he could be killed. It would make a helluva lot of belts :)

Was that the Barrett semi-auto .50? If so, you only need to "lure him in" to about 2000 yards.

I believe that there were so many AK47's sold to armies/ "farmers" in africa that they set up an ammunition plant there to service the local needs. Cheaper to make em there than ship the stuff in from eastern bloc/ China. How god dammed many rounds do you need ??

Hey when you waste 80% of your ammo on shooting the sky, your going to need a few million extra rounds on hand.
