For those who truly don't know:

Ray Bradbury story

http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/soundofthunder.html

Time-travelling hunters return to the time of the dinosaurs to go for the
ultimate prey: a tyrannosaurus rex. For fear of changing the
timeline every single item of consequence is accounted for: the hunters
never touch the ground, the bullets quickly deteriorate into nothing,
and the animal selected to be shot will die in moments anyway...so what
could go wrong? A very small thing, but it's enough.
