Since the second amendment was written in 1791 you should all be restricted to muskets.
Originally posted by SuzianneDon't worry, the recoil of a .45 is exaggerated. The reality is that felt recoil is relative to not just the bullet weight, but the muzzle velocity, relative to the weight of the pistol.
Or a woman, who might find a .45 knocking her on her own ass.
A .380, or even better, a 9mm, which rounds down to a .354, is a better choice for her.
Originally posted by FishHead111Shooting at a grizzly with any auto pistol is probably hopeless, only better than being empty handed. A .44 magnum, with heavy bullets, 300 grain or more is considered minimal bear defense in Alaska. There it isn't how many but rather how much.
Couldn't find anything on google but having read many guns & hunting magazines over a 30 year period I've read of several instances where a grizzly bear was shot 8 or 10 times with a high power rifle before stopping, and I'm sure there are many more I haven't heard of.
Originally posted by AThousandYoungEven .30 rifle rounds are on the light side for grizzlies and Brown bears. Most people legally hunting these animals prefer shorter range heavier bullets such as the 45-70.
A fully automatic small calibur assault rifle (his M4) is much different than a typical .30 cal high powered full length hunting rifle. I doubt USAP could land 10 shots from an M1 Garand or semi auto M14.
