While a .22 pistol can be used to kill a polar bear, larger calibers are recommended if you have a choice.

“We do not know how many rounds were expended in warning shots.”

There was probably a moment or two when the shooter wished he had those rounds back.

History fact of the day: The last German soldiers to surrender in WWII were stranded at a clandestine weather station on Svalbard in Sept. of 1945.

I know that a correctly placed shot would kill the bear, but let’s be realistic here. Taking a .22 pistol into polar bear territory is dumb. They would have been better off dropping their pants, waving their Wangs at the bear and hoping it dies laughing.

What you do is shoot your buddy in the knee with the .22 and escape while the bear takes interest in your buddy.

When a polar bear invites you for dinner and a coke, just say NO and run.
