Talk:Jurassic World
Cattle Prods
ACU troopers are seen armed with what appear to be cattle prods similar to the ones used in Jurassic Park.

Am I the only one curious with the fact that a JW Park Warden is armed with a lever action rifle. I mean the original park had everyone armed with AR-15s or the SPAS-12. Being 2015, I think high-powered semi-auto rifles would be more reliable against large predators than a lever-action. - User:1morey December 3, 2014 9:02 PM (EST)
Well, as a matter of fact a lever action is more mechanically reliable (as in less prone to failures) than a semiauto, and is still one of the fastest manual operated actions (more than bolt action, basically on par with pump action). But yeah, in my opinion a large calibre pump action or lever action wouldn't be a bad choice - User:DonPatrono December , 2014 7:12 PM (CET)
- Also, remember that this particular rifle is chambered in .45-70 Government. This is a pretty powefull round, much more capable than a 5.56x45mm out of an AR-15. This gun is designed for short range hunting/defence of pretty much any North American animal including Grizzly bears so it would be capable of dealing with smaller dinosaurs like the Raptors, and possibly bigger stuff with a well placed shot. --commando552 (talk) 13:46, 4 December 2014 (EST)
Huh. I just learned something. Thanks for the explanation. User:1morey December 4, 2014 3:40 PM (EST)
Also, Chris Pratt isn't the game warden. He's a behavioral researcher on Raptors. --Bad Boy (talk) 16:54, 4 December 2014 (EST)
Well, it is conceivable that he's both (or maybe head of security). Robert Muldoon was the game warden and the Raptor expert. - User:1morey December 5 2014 1:20 PM (EST)
- Well, he was more the raptor expert because they kept trying to eat him, I'd assume raptor expert is actually a field of study by this point in the movie universe. Also the movie looks interesting but I'm a little worried this might have something to do with that doofy binned script that did the rounds ages ago where they were trying to train dinosaurs for the military.

Newly posted photo of Chris Pratt with the Marlin gives a much better look at the additions, It's got writing over the image so I'm not sure about adding it to the page --RedRobinAlpha (talk) 00:23, 29 March 2015 (GMT)
Traquilizer
Please help ID this tranquilizer rifle. It doesn't look like a Vanquish. --Ben41 (talk)
- Based on the ejection port which appears too small for the magazine and barrel, and the presence of those rather crude looking moulding seams on the receiver, I am inclined to think that it is either a total mock-up or something else inside a plastic shell. --commando552 (talk) 08:31, 21 April 2015 (EDT)
