You vs a rhino

You are in a colosseum, 150 ft from the Rhino. Your only weapon is a Dessert Eagle with a 10 inch. knife. The Rhino is bloodlusted.

I have never shot a Rhino before, would any gun-nuts on the site like to elaborate on how well a .50 round would do against a Rhino? If the gun could pierce its skin and bone I would give myself the win 9/10, however If the gun is incapable of inflicting mortal wounds on the Rhino I am most likely at a loss.

I would imagine rhino skin is quite tough, but a .50 round is strong.

With a good headshot, the rhino is going down. Although, it is incredibly easy to dodge a rhino as they are nearly blind, so I win 10/10.

Rhinos are almost blind and shooting him in the head with a DE would work. All you need is to be a good shot. Considering I am an elite shot, I think I can take that easy breezy.

If the gun can pierce his brain we win.

If not we lose.

The rhino would STOMP all of us, anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

Guns aside, us in a coliseum type situation with an actual rhino? We'd be pooping our pants, don't lie.

I've been in way scarier situations, believe me. Plus the coliseum is a perfect environment: as soon as you get to the high ground, the Rhino is a sitting duck.

.50 caliber pistol isn't going to do you much good, and as blind as they are, they are still stronger, faster, more durable, and much deadlier. That knife isn't going to do any good, because if you're up close and personal, and it's pissed off...there's a good chance you'll be biting it soon.

And this is a coliseum, where are you going to get the high ground?

Thanks for reading,

there's no high ground in a coliseum, mate...it's just an arena.

@Jayfournines:

.50 cal is a light armour piercing calibre perfectly capable of going through things much tougher than a rhino's skull and coliseums, like the one I have visited in Roma have high grounds all around the central area, where did you think the people seated? All you would have to do is avoid the initial charge and find an access to the seats. If you are a bad shot or really want to take your time that is, because at 50 meters with a classic 9mm gun, I personally plant three bullets in an area of the target smaller than the rhino's head in an average 3.7 seconds.

The only difficulty here is the uncommon weight of the Desert Eagle.

Have you ever fired a desert eagle? basically you aint gona hit anything even a great Rhinocerous, those guns are just a joke, Rhino slaughterstomps everyone on this site.

@DocFatalis: Okay tough guy, what have you been through thats worse than a charging rhino, whilst you are armed with a novelty weapon and a big knife?

@AmazingScrewOnHead: Kosovo twice, Chad, Lebanon, Afghanistan. At the exception of the first time in Kosovo, caught in firefights each time. Thank God, I always made it back home in one piece. I even got an 82 shell detonating 15-20 meters from me, but apart from my ears nothing really suffered.

@DocFatalis: I see, you have seen combat before, where are you from mate?

I have experience with hunting, .357 is the minimum round for bear hunting, but hunters prefers 30-06 rifle round or .500 S&W for safer bet.

.50 AE pack more punch than .357, I think I can take down rhino with my experience, although the largest animal I ever hunt is deer, which is practically harmless, but it's still a tough animal to be put down.

Finally a thread where most of the people isn't overestimating themselves in a "You vs ______" thread.

I could the the Rhino with a 17th century flintlock and be victorious. Just need to aim for the eye.

I bet I could. They may be fast, but I could just side-step it and unload.

Totally agreeing with this. Bloodlusted or not, the charge is the greatest threat. Any human would higher agility. Make turns sharper, ect. Well placed shots to the side of the thing would kill it over time. You have 9 magnum rounds. 6 in a tight enough group to it's side will cause enough damage to let the thing just tire itself out. You don't even have to keep firing. Side step shoot. Side step shoot.

I'd clear. I'm a good enough shoot for something like this. If it had been a Tiger or something with more speed, then I'd have said differently.

@AmazingScrewOnHead: France. I've been in the Army for the last 18 years.

The problem with this fight is that if you win you go to prison for the rest of your life for killing one of the most endangered animals on the planet, might be best to just bfr yourself to prevent a potential future cell mate "Date"

if im lucky i'd hit it in the head and it dies , but since im not : i see 1000lb animal who can go as fast as 40mph with enough strength to demolish a small car not too mention 3-4 ft horn , i become a pancake if im lucky

@Hksaru:that's a pretty stupid comment: how would you know the pictures are pictures of me or the places where I went? I'm afraid you'll just have to decide on whether you believe me or not on your own, sorry if that's a scary decision to make.

50 rounds for an Israeli arms desert eagle are huge,,more than enough to put down a rhino..these guns are not as inaccurate as many say..if you stood your ground during the charge and put a few in his head he's going down,,question is do you have the nerve to stay put,,breathe deep and fire straight,,I believe I could,,I shoot every weekend,,so I'm accustomed to firing a gun,,,never had a half ton creature charging at me but I've had a gun shoved in my face and was not afraid ,,,more pissed off since I just bought a 12guage but it was in two pieces in my trunk still in the box lol

I fought in WW2,Nam,Falklands,Nigeria,Iraq and Afganistan got court martialed for disobeying orders, so i left the army and became a mercenary , im proffecient in hand to hand combat and marksmanship, ive killed over 100 taliban with my bare hands, i am a badass and i will take you all on!

Here is a picture of me the day i got removed from the army, i beat up alot of navy seals that day.

Unnecessary.

I will die.

The side-step trick wouldn't success.

It's not like comics rhino, and it's not a bull(even with bull there are deadly fails).

@ImTheDamnBatman: http://smfrfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Rhino1.jpg

If you would run left side, the rhino would change direction too, until it hit you, because it see you. If you would agile enough to step away, or jump, the rhino would stop running and go toward you again. It would be slower now, so if you would sidestep again, the rhino could change direction way faster, faster than you. So it could catch you. Also the Desert Eagle handgun has very big recoil. At least I know this from Moder Warfare 2. :D Without experience or trained, strong arm, it's not a big help.

I would feel sorry for the rhino, so I don't know how I would thinking at that moment, but if I bloodlusted, I would shot him while it run toward me, and after I would jump as high as I can and then shot again, and... idk some of us would die.

Rhino Stomps. I may wound it but it stomps.

Has anyone here actually fired a gun before? I don't think we'd pull off a headshot with a gun that powerful if it's our first time shooting..

Not a comic battle. Moving to Off-topic.

I have no doubt a .50 bullet could cut through the skin of a rhino but you'd have to be a hell of a shot with really steady nerves since you're going for a moving target that's around 1,000 lbs of pissed of muscle trying to stab you with a horn. Also rhinos may be damn near blind but they're a lot faster than many give them credit for. So basically while the gun is capable of doing the job you only have one shot. As far as the knife goes, if the rhino gets close enough to stab you're already dead.

As far as im concerned nobody can pull this off except some crazed poacher who deals with rhinos on a daily basis and is an expert marksman with a handgun, and nobody on this site is that

Everyone military experience or not will defecate in there pants, and will be shaking like crazy and will miss there shots.

@joshmightbe: If you can pull this off mate, the whole prison will be your b*tch.

I win, because apparently everyone on the internet knows Batman level martial arts.

:P

I'd pop him in the face and be done with it.
