jesus why do small caliber chuds get so poopy about this? If you're so interested in being able to stop a bear with the most minimal force possible, where's your cross-head spear?
>i can poke a bear before you even draw
>any weapon will stop a grizzly if you hit the brain or heart
>spear heads will penetrate bear skulls better due to the mass of the head
>the biggest mammoth kill ever recorded was done in by a 6"x3" obsidian head to the skull
>Just carry some xtreme penetrators when in the woods either a crossbow or a crossed spear work fine
>For instant incapacitation, only penetration and shot placement matter. So just poke him in the eye real good.
