“A 7.62 handgun? I didnt know there was a such.”

Most likely a 7.62 X 25 Tokarev. It’s a bottle nosed pistol cartridge issued by the Soviet military during WWII. It’s a relatively light bullet but it moves very fast and penetrates very deep. How well it would work against a hungry polar bear, I don’t know.

The rifle could be chambered in either 7.62x39 or 7.62x51.

Mistake. I said 7.62 X64, should have said 7.62X54.
