I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

What impressed me was how accurately he was shooting it. I'd want one if I was in country that had a lot of Grizzly or Polar bears.

I wonder what the noise level is like shooting one though. The one on TV looked like it had some sort of muzzle brake on it (if I recall). That could make them louder. My little 9mm about makes me deaf without ear plugs. What would this big boy be like?

I'm still looking for a firearm that launches livestock. Any help?

Ostriches and rheas are the only birds that urinate and defecate separately. They read Parachutist while doing #2.

You would be better served by using a shotgun firing sabot slugs.

That is what is used to dispatch bears, and of course a dart filled with nicotene, is even faster.

Can't buy slugs in Ca. I already tried. Had to go w/ 00. Damn. I'm a poet and don't no it. And my feet are Longfellows too!

Why in the hell do they ban shotgun slugs?

Have they been watching too much CSI?

Da Terminator just signed a bill outlawing lead ammo in California. Some whacko environmentalists convinced enough people that rare condors are eating loose bullets like candy, poisoning them.

So throw out that hundred years of ballistic data that has been accumulated, and start all over again...

There's no doubt better bear guns than this pistol. The nice thing about a pistol is that they are easier to pack around than a rifle or shotgun. In Alaska I often packed a 12 guage with slugs. Many times I was unarmed though because I just got tired of packing a shotgun around, everywhere I went. So, maybe a pistol might be handier for that scenario. I'd want at least a 44 magnum for that.

I watched a video of a bowhunter dispatching a large grizzly with some kind of big bore automatic pistol. He stalked as close as he could to a grizzly with intentions of putting an arrow into it. Then the grizzly started walking directly at him. He shot it once in the head, with the pistol, and it dropped. Very impressive!

Slugs are commonly made of all copper or copper jacket over a tin core.

Finding a manufacturer of factory ammo, with copper bullets, may be next to impossible.

Quote:

A letter to Schwarzenegger, signed by Fish and Game Commission executive director John Carlson and commission president Richard Rogers, urging the governor's veto noted that recent testimony before the commission from gun and cartridge makers was that the technology does not exist to manufacture bullets that are 100 percent free of any trace of lead.

"The requirement for ammunition to have no lead content," the letter said, "would essentially completely ban hunting of big game and coyotes throughout the condor range."

Even the "lead-free" bullets considered acceptable by wildlife biologists contain some lead alloy in the "gilding metal" that softens the outside of the bullet sufficiently to let it pass through a rifled barrel smoothly.

Another statement on this issue from the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Who needed those darned hunters in the woods anyway. Now if we can just extend this legislation nationwide, we can shut down hunting across the country! Yeehaw!

Good thing for him there isn't really a right to arm bears.
