Would a Tazer gun have any effect on a grizzly bear?

Question

What about a polar bear?
Theres one that has been picking on me!

Answer 1

Have no idea. But if it doesn't....RUN LIKE HELL AND CHANGE YOUR SHORTS LATER. haha.

Answer 2

I think that it would probably shock the grizzly for a little while but no, I don't think that the electric current of the tazer would have much more of an effect on a grizzly then that. a good way to give more time for running from them though. :) I wouldn't put my life on the idea though...


who agree's?

Answer 3

Make up your own mind but I suggest having fleet feet! LMAOL

We absolutely cannot guarantee that it will have any affect
on a grizzly. We have no record of anyone ever having
used a TASER� Weapon in the wild on a grizzly. The TASER� Weapon is designed
to work on a human, and therefore we strongly advise you not
to carry it as your only means of defense against a grizzly
or any other type of animal. When used against a 2000 lb
buffalo it stunned him for only an instant. He dropped onto
his hind quarters, but was back up in 2 seconds and became
very angry. If a grizzly reacts in the same way, it would make
a bad situation even worse. Others do carry TASER� Weapons when
in remote areas for protection against human attackers, but
keep your firearms for protection against wild animals.

Although TASER� Weapon technology is designed for use
on humans, many outdoorsmen and women
carry a TASER� Weapon with them for protection. We are
told that animal trainers use it
for protection when training wild bears for the
circus. We know of no other handgun size
weapon that will provide better protection than
the TASER� Weapon M18 and M18L, but we make no
promises or guarantees.

The nervous systems of animals are greatly different than
human beings. The TASER� Weapon is designed to be effective on a
human attacker. Accordingly, it will not be as effective at
incapacitating an animal as it is on a human being. The
TASER� Weapon should not be used as sole protection from wild,
uncontrollable, or attacking animals.

Since extensive tests have not been undertaken we
can only speculate that a TASER� Weapon would probably stun
the animal momentarily, perhaps long enough to throw a
net over them. The projectiles are barbed and a small
incision would be required to remove them humanely.
As an alternative to destroying animals on the spot, it
certainly seems to be a promising alternative.

Should you acquire a TASER� Weapon and use it on animals, please
let us know what results you experience in your situation.
It will help us better evaluate other uses for the Taser, and
would be very much appreciated.

Answer 4

I would think not, seeing as it is very hard to take down a full sized grizzly. It's not for amateur hunting that's for sure. A seasoned hunter is the only one who has the skill and quickness. It takes a good riffle and a lot of experience. But hey, don't take my word for it. Go ahead and figure it out for yourself. haha. Good luck to ya!

Answer 5

hahahahhahahha i dont know but why would anyone wanna tazar a polar bear? lmfao.

Answer 6

it depends what voltage it is set on ... small voltage doesn't kill , really big one can kill anyone. But I don't think they manufacture the ones that can kill anymore.
