if you had to fight off a bear what gun would you use

[mrburtreynoldsou]

Like the title says, if you had your choice to fight off a pissed bear what gun would you use? I think it would be hard to beat a 12ga with slugs but what are other thoughts

.22


Shoot my companion in the leg and the bear will go for the easy meal.

Bigger the better. I saw a huge black take about a dozen .38s and 4 .06 180gr CoreLokt before it went down inside our cabin. PLACEMENT!!!!!!

The 20mm Solothurn: More portable than the Vulcan, more effective than anything else mentioned with teh possible exception of the RPG (which is only a single-shot weapon where the Solothurn is semi-auto).

What if the bear flanks you? It doesn't look very agile to reposition.

 

[Birds Away]

Fine, outflank this.

In that case it would probably be a good time to have the big Ruger on your hip!

 

[Sylvain]

No need to be on the ground where the bear can get to you.

G 20 6in lone wolf barrel. Loaded hot. 200 grn. 1300fps. But only bears where I go are black bears. Not as big as most.

But that is for just Incase. Walking thru woods or clearing them. Hunting would be different gun entirely. CETME. 20 rounds .308 just in case. No such thing as over kill with angry bears
