Must have been some good Russian crack!

Around 1PM Alek and Boris woke up from banging on the door. Alek got up and went to the door and discovered there was a polar bear outside. He had a signal flare in his hand. When he was about to open the door, he heard the bear snorting and thought that the bear’s head was at the same height as his. He didn’t dare to open the door. He didn’t set off the signal flare. When the bear continued to hit the door, the two others got up. Alek accessed a 7.62 mm handgun, and Boris and Igor each took a 7.62 mm rifle.
They had sausages, butter, and other groceries in the hallway. The bear was probably smelling this and trying to reach the food. The people thought if the bear broke through the door and into the cabin, the situation would become life-threatening. There would be very little time to aim and fire. The cabin was already crowded.
Considering the situation, Alek fired one shot through the door with the pistol. He fired upwards so the shot would go through the door at approximately head height and angled upward. The bear continued to hit the door, and Alek now fired a shot with the rifle. He was scared and shaken. He was convinced the bear was standing on two legs and that its head would be at the height of the middle of the door. He thus fired through the door at that height to hit the bear in the head/ neck region. He was scared for his life, and so were the others, this is why he tried to kill the bear.

Must have been some good Russian crack!
Most Makarov pistols I’ve seen are chambered in 9x18.

Somebody better tell AlGore to get the word out!
The Eco-Nazis are all worried!
Because they gotta back off before they kill us all with their
immense stupidity and ignorance.
I know, I know - "You Can't Fix Stupid.".
So that may mean the the human race may be reaching it's endpoint -
TERMINAL STUPIDITY.
"The majority of the race became TOO stupid and deluded to survive -
so they didn't."
"Candygram."
Yup.
Russian.
Barely adequate for a raccoon, if a friend’s experience counts. I wouldn’t want to face a polar bear with a Makarov. .
Where is that video of the Russians feeding the polar bear from the dock and petting its head I think someone posted that here before Russians are weird about their bears of course European brown bears are not nearly as aggressive or ferocious as the American grizzly
The grizzly is like a pitbull always ready to go and I like pit bulls before anyone gets started
I’ve owned several and southern ABDs which are similar but bigger
When European brown bears were relentlessly hunted, they learned to avoid humans. Now that the humans are disarmed and shown to be harmless, the European bears are becoming aggressive again.
Mistake. I said 7.62 X64, should have said 7.62X54.
I see a lot of YouTube of Russians etc toying with wild bears in ways you wouldn’t with grizzly
Our own brownies are less aggressive than the smaller grizzly
Although they kill too obviously
Before settling all North American bears saw humans as food
Not enough Indians to matter and grizzly roamed almost everywhere as did elk
