The crappy TV show Andromeda had a good explanation as to why the main characters never actually got shot in gun battles. Because it took place in the future guns didn't fire bullets, instead they shot tiny missiles and the main characters (who had better tech than the bad guys) all wore devices that disrupted the tiny missile guidance systems.

Sounds like a good reason to use bullets.

How in the world did they get blood of an aquatic dinosaur from a mosquito?

Hell, for that matter, the sheer variety of dinosaurs they have is absurd. A mosquito has to suck the dinosaurs blood, then, before it digests the blood, it has to land on some sap, AND get stuck in the sap, AND that particular bit of sap has to get turned into amber, AND then some miners have to find that one particular piece of amber.

That's just how they explained the DNA in the first movie, who knows if they're going to continue with that explanation.

Back in 2005 some researchers discovered soft tissue in the femur of a T-Rex.

While this discovery doesn't seem to have DNA, I can guarantee that people are going to start looking a little harder now knowing it can be preserved that long. It isn't beyond the realm of possibility to find intact partial sequences of DNA and patch it back together, this is a Sci-Fi movie and their manipulation of genetics is far beyond what is currently possible.
