Could a world war II tank kill a T-Rex?
It is highly unlikely that a World War II tank would be able to kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) effectively.
While World War II tanks were designed to engage enemy vehicles and fortifications, they were not designed to combat prehistoric creatures like T-Rexes. T-Rexes were massive creatures with highly robust bodies, strong muscles, and thick bones. They were estimated to weigh around 7 to 9 tons and had extremely thick, scaled skin as a form of natural armor.
World War II tanks typically deployed armor-piercing rounds designed to penetrate the armor of other tanks. However, it is doubtful that these rounds would have been sufficient to penetrate the thick layers of skin, muscle, and bone of a T-Rex. Moreover, T-Rexes were known for their impressive strength and might have been able to flip or damage a tank with their sheer force.
Additionally, tanks from that era were not equipped with the modern technological advancements found in contemporary tanks, such as advanced targeting systems, thermal imaging, or guided missiles. This lack of advanced sensors and weaponry would have put the tank at a significant disadvantage against a fast and agile creature like a T-Rex.
Overall, considering the size, strength, and natural defenses of a T-Rex, it is highly unlikely that a World War II tank would have been able to effectively kill it.

>>3724566I agree. Absolute poppycock.
Any canon/gun at 37mm and up with exploding munition , Armour penetrating or not, would blow a hole the size of Kansas in living tissue.
They shoot 6tons Bull elephants with ordinary rifles for gods sake,

>>3724543What military grade weapon would kill a T-Rex?
While it is difficult to give a definitive answer as no one can be certain about the actual vulnerabilities of a Tyrannosaurus rex, we can make some educated speculations based on their estimated size and anatomy. To potentially kill a T-Rex, one would likely need a powerful and accurate weapon capable of penetrating its thick skin and inflicting severe enough damage to vital organs.
Possible military-grade weapons that could potentially harm or kill a T-Rex include:
1. Anti-Materiel Rifles: Anti-materiel rifles such as the Barrett M82 or the .50 BMG sniper rifles are capable of firing large caliber rounds that can penetrate armored vehicles. These rifles may be able to penetrate the T-Rex's thick hide and cause significant injury.
2. Rocket Launchers: Powerful rocket launchers like the RPG-7 or AT4 could potentially cause immense damage to the T-Rex by delivering high-explosive or armor-piercing rounds. It would likely need to strike vulnerable areas like the head, heart, or major organs to have a chance at killing it.
3. Heavy Machine Guns: Mounted heavy machine guns like the M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun fire rounds that can penetrate armored vehicles. When concentrated fire is delivered to specific areas, it could potentially inflict critical damage to the T-Rex.
It is important to note that these are theoretical suggestions, and the actual effectiveness against a T-Rex would depend on multiple factors, such as accuracy, shot placement, and the specific vulnerabilities of the dinosaur.
