I like the spas-12
- This movie was the first thing I ever saw the SPAS-12 in and I must say they did a good job of making it look cool. But they also did a good job showing how it's unreliable. Not to mention it's too heavy for a conventional shotgun.
-I really doubt if a shotgun would be sufficient enough against a full grown dinosaur. See, in the novel, Muldoon uses a custom tranquilizer launcher. Topps Comics` adaption of the movie illustrates this by showing Muldoon holding something that looks like a mix between an RPG-7 and a Panzerfaust 3(black RPG launcher w/a Panzerfaust 3 grenade). So why they decided to use a shotgun in the movie is beyond me. ...But it is a cool shotgun!
- It would be rational to consider a shotgun when the expected threat--velociraptors or the species they derived the movie velociraptors from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinonychus)--are on the same scale as humans, fast, and probably susceptible to similar levels of energy as humans (or similar sized birds). Against something larger--like a T.Rex--shotgun probably not so useful.--Deathbunny 17:57, 18 March 2011 (CDT)
