A friend and I were having a debate on what we thought what kind of firearm weapon it would take to disable or kill a mad grizzly bear who attacked you in the woods if it was truly life threatening and you couldn't run away and escape. I told him I thought a .22 magnum up to a .38 pistol with a minumum of 6 shots could take down an adult grizzly bear, probably a powerful female.
Now I am not a hunter and have no desire to harm any animal in the wilderness, but I was curious about firearms. My friend laughed and said a 22 or .38 would only make the bear madder and wouldn't do much to disable it, unless you might get a lucky shot through the bear's eyes or ear.
Anyone know how much firepower it would take to disable a bear attack?
