Hi /k/ I’m worried, I’m want to do a bit of light hiking but it’s through bear country and I’m worried I don’t have reliable means of protection against a charging grizzly bear, I’ve been reading that 10mm is a good round to stop an angry bear but I don’t have access to any kind of Glock 20, will a fully automatic M4 with a 60 round drum loaded with m855a1 or .77 grain ammo stop a bear? I’m scared because a lot of people have been telling me m855a1 isn’t an armor piercing round and that 556 would just all bounce off the attacking bear since it’s such a puny round and make it more angry, I need answers immediately! What are my alternates to fend off a bear Attack?
>lust-provoking image
>irrelevant, time-wasting question
10mm and bear spray and you'll be fine.
>lust provoking
anon, that's not what bussy means...
Just be careful not to walk into one that's still sleeping, they're just now waking up
I think I am finally tired of irony. it has become unfunny
>become
Boring thread have a nice day
The only reliable protection against grizzly bears is either .45/70 or 12 gauge with 1 oz hardened slugs.
Frick 10mm, .357 Sig, .40SW, .357, .41, .44 magnum.
>Reliable
You don't know what that word means, moron.
If you have a bear running at you, quick you get one shot.
You trusting that pussy wheelgun, or an ounce of lead that’s going to make a big wound channel and stop the thing running?
Stfu. I’ve killed a grizzly bear.
>22lr
Not even, it was 22 long, which even from the rifle it was fired from, was weaker than 22lr from a 4" revolver
One lucky case doesn't make a rule.
.50AE
>but that's too much!
If you can't handle .50AE, you deserve to be eaten by a bear.
As someone who's penetrated plenty of bears in his lifetime trust me when I say that 10mm, 357, and 44 mag simply won't cut it. You need a projectile that has at least five inches of girth and six inches of length to properly penetrate into their body to hit what's known as the g-spot where their most vital organs are. Plan it taking more than one hit to take them out, so be sure to practice a lot to build up your endurance too.
Holy shit I forgot I made that gif. Thanks anon lol; at least I know someone liked it.
Grizzly bear will not attack you they are not nearly as aggressive as black bears which are dangerous to humans. The only time we would hurt you is when you approach a mothers cubs but that's a rare sights. Also 22 lr is definitely enough if you still insist on carrying.

bear spray
Literally any handgun round, even .22lr, will penetrate a bears skull and kill it.
The issue is if you miss the skull and hit the body, you want something that can penetrate fairly deep to get into the chest cavity.
But you also want something you can have fast follow up sjots with, 10mm in a reliable le double stack semiauto is good for this with the right ammo, but so is 9mm, literally 100% of the times a 9mm has been fired at a Grizzly bear in defence, it has killed the bear or stopped its charge.

Bears will not hurt you
But if you must, we hate the smell of garlic and salt, so cover yourself in it before going in the woods and. Ears won't bug you.

What a fricking moronic thread, Jesus Christ.
All you need is to hit them in the nuts

This is bait, do not ever use a handgun against a grizzly bear, it will maul you to death and only make it incredibly angry.
A good rifle will do fine, shotgun with slugs will also do fine if you can aim correctly. Otherwise just avoid grizzlies altogether.
You sound like you're dying for an excuse to shoot at a bear.
Why wouldn't he just buy a bear ticket then? Or how are these things called in US, I'm not familiar
Licenses in most states as far as I know.
although for the individual animal, they're called tags. You buy a license and get X tags for Y animals.
Right, thanks, I've forgot the word "tag".
We call them licenses or trip papers
>will a fully automatic M4 with a 60 round drum loaded with m855a1 or .77 grain ammo stop a bear
It will kill, but would it stop? Probably not.
>What are my alternates to fend off a bear Attack?
12 gauge with slugs over 1 oz
Any full size rifle round with bullet over 150 grain - .308 and .30-06 would be easiest to get, but the heavier bullet is, the better. For example, 9,3x62 Mauser makes a good bear round.
> 556 would just all bounce off the attacking bear
Bullshit, bears are soft on the surface. But they won't deliver a punch hard enough.
You can only hunt brown bear in Alaska without a ludicrously unlikely draw in the other 2 states that allow it.
You also need to be an Alaskan resident or have someone you know(family) guide you if you are going to hunt in Alaska.
