An 18-year-old high school student just bagged a new Texas-record alligator, an 800-pound 14-foot monster, using raw chicken for bait. The report doesn't say what caliber rifle he used. What would be an appropriate alligator rifle?

A 12 foot, 800 pound gator?!
GERG! Amigo! You ain't right! LOL!! .22 short indeed!
I think I'd prefer something in the "Ma Deuce" range! How about a 12 bore with slugs or 00 buck!
.700 Nitro Express? Bazooka? A retired 20mm recoiless rifle!? A 105mm Howitzer?!
You cain't get one uv them thangs ded enuff! LOL!!

My dad was a gator hunter in Central Fla back in the 50's until hunting was banned. He used a harpoon and a long handled hatchet because it was illegal to possess a gun and a light at night. One chop in the brain area after pulling the gater up to the boat was usually enough.
