Man Drops Charging Brown Bear With 13 Bullets from AK-74

[torchbearer]

At bunker hill 13 rounds meant 1 hit if you were lucky and skilled.

not sure if those muskets had rifling.

they were told to wait until they saw the white of their eyes.
the kill ratio was heavily in the colonist favor. they were obviously better shot.

Man Drops Charging Brown Bear With 13 Bullets from AK-74

Drop that mofo, F Bears.

 

[VIDEODROME]

Why did they behead and skin the bear?

Just wanted to be sure.

 

[TaftFan]

Just fire two rounds in the sky....that would suffice.

Ahh the Battle of Breed's Hill .....My Great Patriots were low on ammo at the onset, and out of ammo when they withdrew which is when they took most of the casualties ( and short on bayonets ) , probably 140 killed , 35 of those Non Commisioned officers and Officers ,30 prisoners gravely wounded , 20 later of those dead. Probably killed 230 British , wounded 830 .Probably kiled 100 British Officers. Most of the rifles were not rifled that day. Ballistics though may play a role, , colonial bullets probably tighter than that other crap..... we did lose 5 of 6 cannon and the maggots did succeed in removing us on the third and final attack if I recall......

Probably not since they'd have been called rifles if they did.

Can you imagine the horror ? They didn't have ptsd/shellshock back then, right ?

The AK74 is a submachine gun as a opposed to an assault rifle.

It's damage is very similar, the range is shorter, rate of fire is faster.

An AK 74 is about as much of a sub machine gun as an M16. Same basic ballastics and range capabilities. Rate of fire for Ak 74 and 47 is the same. It's pretty much the exact same rifle just in a smaller caliber projectile.

Yep... the AK-74 is basically a Rusky version of the M-16/M4.

It would have taken tremendous discipline for a farm boy Continental , with little ammo , to stand that ground until he could see the glint on the bayonet of the British , even though he did have the best ground .He was facing the best in the World , he thought , at that time , and probably did not consider himself to be the best or equal, shellshock is only when you lose your hearing for a bit , and lucky is when it comes back, because if you live , there is more work to be done....

Years ago I knew a man that had reputedly killed a bear with a knife. He was a large and quiet man.
I asked him about the stories once.. His only response was that "the bear started it".

He did not deny it,, but it was clear that he was not proud either.

I would have been thankful to be alive .

Breed's Hill was probably the best overall performance of the militia in general - specific units were kick ass in later wars (5th MD in the War of 1812, Mississippi Rifle in the Mexican War), but overall, that battle was fought by pure militia, and did a credible job with the resources at hand. General Warren was a very great loss - would have been interesting to see what he might have accomplished had he survived.

You would like Jacko,, I watched him straighten the bumper on an old ford (early 60s) with his bare hands.
It hit a tree, bent about 30 degrees. A big big man.

I would love him , I never had a truck bumper for more than a few years before it had some wrong directions , worst thing last time, a few years ago , I was driving the fairly new Impala down I 65 @ night 40 miles South of Indy , hit a huge opossum at about 74 mph , no bumper just a fancy ass spoiler , put a shallow dent in it by the front plate size of a softball, did not crack the paint .You cannot straighten plastic and metal flake paint out, that I know of .....

Before I trash the F 150 i am driving know I should get a brush guard put on it , in case I hit a deer.

I have always been impressed because I realized the resources and what they were up against .All those Officers and NCO's were probably a huge loss that was paid for later... and that is the way it works, that has never changed, that I know of ..

But, but, but... No one has any need for more than 5 bullets in a clip!

Diane Fiendstein and the Brady campaign told me so!

Well the people that fought did believe in something, the people they fought only believed in their salaries. I think the courage it took to take up arms against the British automatically bred a form of discipline among the 'rebels'. Once they started the war they didn't really have any other outcome to look forward to except for victory. Having no way out of a fight is seen as one of the biggest and most important force multipliers by Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' and I think the revolutionary war is a great example of this rule.

I'm still interested at the level of psychological trauma that fighters (and civilians too) in the revolutionary war suffered from. I have never really read or heard anything about it but there is no doubt in my mind that many people had been psychologically wrecked by what they have seen. It must have had an important effect on who they became after the war but I don't know how well this is documented.

That poor bear was only trying to get some skittles and iced tea T_T

Because you said a malnourished farmer would be safer from "insert type of bullet here" than a large man or a bear. I fail to see that even with your explanation. Sorry.

If you fire a flat fast bullet like a .270 through 10 plastic jugs of water, it might pierce the first and shred the 7th. At first its flat... but in time it tumbles. So in thick meat with a tumbling bullet, more energy is absorbed and more damage is created than in say an arm shot with a piercing round that carries through relatively flat.
