If I was going to use something like the 45/70, I would go to the new 44mag. carbine Ruger makes. You can keep shooting the bear. I don't really remember how close the ballistics are on the two. Seems like the 45/70 had a 300 grain bullet and the .44 mag had a 230 grain but had a little more velocity. Its been a while since I looked at that stuff. But being able to keep pulling the trigger is nice.

The 8 was still there in 97 on my final "farewell" tour.
Your successors had a bar in their barracks on Red Cloud with a large picture over the bar of a Korean farmer who had found something unpleasant the hard way. It was captioned simply, "I meant a Bud light..."

A .22 pistol is all you need for bear protection.
Use it to kneecap your partner and run like hell.

The SAW is 5.56mm. It is the volume of fire and the ballistics of the round that make it useful against "soft" targets. The M-240B, on the other hand, is 7.62mm and offers a nasty punch.

This is an M-79.

These were used quite a bit in Viet Nam. Not a much recoil as you might think.

The 8th was a great unit. One of the best years of my life. I wonder if it was the original bar we make back in 68? Did they still have the little red bombs with everybody's name on them, plus a few little white bombs of EOD guys that ended up like the farmer?

LOL! I'll bet she can type a thousand words a minute, considering that her feet are also hands.

Hey, now. Knock off the insults. This girl has a great personality. Would I be showing her off here if she didn't?

One of the professors in my department speaks highly of the M-79. He said it was a great gadget for clearing charlie from riverbanks.

Now that is one homely weapon. I can see where whatever recoil occured after the initial recoil at the first sight of that piece, would seem very minor by comparision.
