Goldbar bear

[Diehard0123]

I found out today that someone got a bear somewhere over by the salmon hatchery the other day.  It took them 10 shots with an assault rifle to kill it    
Sounds like a poor excuse for a clean kill if you ask me.

  poor bear !!!!!!!

poor bear !!!!!!!

More like poor shot.

What kind of rifle was it? Just because the person was a bad shot doesnt make it the (assualt) rifles fault. I have seen someone shot at a deer with a bolt gun and finaly kill it after the 18th shot I wish that I would have just shot it and finished the poor animal

  I didn't hear the rifle being blamed.... It is always the shooters fault unless there is a mechanical malfunction. Of course the shooter could have caused that too by poor maintenance. Still listening, rifle is not being blamed

I would guess that most assault rifles would be too small of a caliber to be very effictive for killing bears.......hence the need for 10 shots.  It is the shooters fault for choosing too small of a caliber and probably poor bullets as well.

I don't know much about assault rifles, but can't you get them in .308?

I didnt know rifles "assaulted" people.   

Too bad it took that many shots. Hate to see an animal suffer.

Sure, 30/06 too, and 338 Win Mag, in a Browning BAR or Remington 742. That is if you choose to call those rifles assault rifles. They're semi-autos so I suppose they meet the definition.

Like I said, I don't know much about them, just thought you could get them in bigger calibers.

DPSM has an AR type that comes in .243 and .308. I am sure others do as well.  Not the gun, the shooter that is the problem here.

[bucklucky]

So is a semi auto shotgun considered an assault rifle?

We as a community need to stop cowering to the play of the antis by not acknowledging their made-up terminology.  I try to avoid the term.

Also, 7.62x39 which is ballistically very similar to the 30-30 which some will argue is a good bear round for the *typical* Washington Black bear--within reason/range.

7.62x54r is another that can be found in some AK variants...ballistically very similar to the .308.
