Lightbulb NEW SHTF Scenario

I read a lot of "survival'' forums and I've seen lots of SHTF scenarios;
Zombies- always popular
Great Depression2- kinda close to home
Red Dawn- We all wish!
Aliens- for all the Dale Gribbles out there
BubonicSuperBlackDeathPlagueUberVirus- I REALLY hope against this'un
Fascist Martial Law- Also known as ''they're after my guns!''
Zombies- There's AWAYS zombie threads LOL
Well, here's a new one.....DRAGONS! I assume everyone has seen ''Reign of Fire'' and I think the sleeping dragon is out there! This would finally validate all those guys with the .50BMG rifles! I bet this would make all ya'll with SKSs and ARs with 20,000 rounds wish ya had loved bolt-action big-bores more! LOL

Hahaha.... if I have learned anything from that movie, it's that my best weapon is an axe. A big ass, dragon-whomping axe of doom.

That and a shaved head w/ full beard. lol.

That was a pretty good movie, of all the dragon movies there are, I dare say the best. I guess I'm about to start saving for a tank.

Makes me really wish I had bought that Solothurn 20mm AT gun back in the 70's when they and the ammo were dirt cheap! A .50BMG is only gonna PO a Dragon......

BD,
When you shoot that 20mm, who is going to hold you down and put your shoulder back in?

I will have need of nothing but toilet paper, as I will have shat myself if I ever ran into a dragon. Maybe some BBQ sauce for he/she/it to make me more palatable!

Well now, we are going to need to start a thread for the most appropriate caliber for dragon hunting!

Hmm, what would you think they weigh, 10,000 lbs? I think at that point I would need something bigger than my .45-70 Handi Rifle...

Since we aren't allowed to discuss real issues, I guess I'll jump in on this one. (my posts keep getting deleted... lol maybe I should take the hint and move on)

uhhh... dragons. Hmm... you mean like the Barry Gordon skinny black guy dragon from the 80's? That rocked. Sho nuff.

There really were dragons. We just call them dinosaurs now. But ancient peoples finding fossils and bones laying around didnt know what else they could possibly be but dragons. I'm sure we would do the same if not for our current understanding of science and planetary history, which is still very rudimentary, but we think we know it all of course..... even though we can't prove carbon dating actually works. Scientists can't even agree on what made the dinosaurs go extinct, let alone prove to me that there weren't dragons. The large amounts of CO2 in the air led to plantlife growing massive, which in turn caused animal life to grow massive, but they'll still tell you that the CO2 that makes up .3% of our total atmosphere will destroy the planet and kill us all if we don't stop it. Actually, scientists lately appear to be nothing more than educated boobs with good PR.

....sigh.... I wish there were dragons.

I'd probably shoot em in the napalm glands with my Supremely Viable 10/22 and make their heads explode. Two well-placed shots is all I'd need.
















No really, I'd be screwed, haha. The best thing I'd have going is that I'm faster than most people in this planet, hahaha. Or at least, I could use my SV22 to shoot some poor sap in the leg so I can get away :P .

the only sure killer for dragons is the enchanted/magic broad sword wielded by one that is pure of heart...leaves me out.
