And with any luck at all, the bear wouldn’t be skilled at chainsawing, so a chainsaw-armed bear becomes an unarmed bear.

How are they against fresh fruit?

A chain saw is a fucking terrible weapon. They look great in movies. In real life they are excellent weapons if you’re in a fight against a tree or a log, and are otherwise worse than useless.
100% true. I regularly battle spiky-popup trees in my yard and for even that they are terrible. Oh, there were too many vines on the tree you were trying to cut down? Now you get to spend 5 minutes unbinding your chain.
Unless the bear has been shaved its just not going to work. Even then I could see it binding up on muscle tissue while you’re still only partway through.
Nuke the bear from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Nobody seems to have considered the possibility that when the bear hears the God awful racket a chainsaw makes it will run away - if not in fear, then to protect its hearing.
No indication if anybody had a chainsaw.
IOW, if the bear has bare arms.
Is it the right to bear arms, or the right to arm bears?
There is a little known law that allows shaved bears the right to carry weapons, in other words, it grants the right to bear arms to bears with bare arms.
Bumped.
I’ll soon be getting a 10mm. That’s much better than .45ACP which is better against humans, but 10mm is better against a bear or a moose. And ammo choice is critical, like Federal Solid Core ammo.
I know this comment is 6 months old, but if you left them a Homelite they would be preoccupied with keeping it running and getting the stuck throttle working that you’d have plenty of time to slip away unnoticed.
A flamethrower shooting 30-feet flames might do a better job of restraining said bear.
A flamethrower also has the huge advantage that a bear knows what fire is, and knows that it can’t win a fight against it. By contrast, if a bear doesn’t like something but doesn’t know what it is, its default assumption is going to be that mauling it will make things better, because it usually does. Which might not result in the bear winning, per se, in the long run, but certainly results in the human losing.
“Dont bring claws to a fire-fight”
Much as I hope people will trust me when I talk about Le Guin and dorks, I give full consideration to this post.
No-kidding 10mm Auto (aka 10x25mm, aka 10mm FBI)? that’s a pretty uncommon round. .40 S&W is a lot more common, AFAIK, although they’re both 10mm bullet diameter.
Interestingly, 10x25mm is the standard ammo for semi-automatic pistols and submachine guns in the Fallout games.
It’s common enough. And 10mm is more effective against bear and moose and other bigger game than .40S&W — it delivers more energy with higher muzzle velocity.
