As are the bullets from a .22. It's all about shot placement.

"Sounds like the talk of someone who hasn't seen one of our Alaskan brown bears up close."

First one must convince the bear to stand still so the shot can be placed through the eye into the brain cavity. Are you saying the bear won't willingly cooperate? My father used to have a trick of whistling to make a cottontail rabbit stop momentarily so he could shoot it with a .22, surely this would work with a thousand pound Kodiak charging at full speed. Wouldn't it?

My dad used to do the same thing. Cool, huh?
