Only for all the PCs to take spellcasting ability (which in a Dresden Files -esque way interferes with high-tech stuff) and the most modern firearms chosen to be a bolt-action rifle (A-Square Hannibal .577 Tyrannosaur) and a pump shotgun (Kel-Tec KSG-25). ...

So, instead of custom-made big bore ARs, compact .50 BMG rifles and semi-automatic .338 Lapua Magnums, it'll be 12G slugs and maybe the occasional 750 grain .577 Tyranosaur bullet.
Rounds like the .600 Nitro Express were also available at the beginning of the 20th century: apparently Tommy found them helpful for bagging Jerry snipers in steel shelters. So if anyone needs a gun for dinosaur and can handle the penalty for TL 6 equipment ...
