The FN Five N Seven has very light recoil permitting you to fire very rapidly. If you can't get your hands on military AP, use reloads with solid copper bullets, the solid bullet will go very deep into the animal.

Don't be ridiculous! A large bear will use a Five Seven to pick his teeth with after he has finished eating you. The 40 grain bullets will do very little damage to one these beasts. A 57 round can penetrate body armor but the bullet weight is simply not enough as the tissue damage will not be sufficient to kill one of these monsters who can weigh from 800 to 1500 lbs or more. For a side arm you need a mininum of at least a .44 Magnum with a 300 grain bullet. More effective than that will be pistols chambered in the following rounds .454 Casull, .480 Ruger, .475 & .500 Linebaugh, .460 S&W and .500 S&W in a revolver. For semi-auto .45 Winchester Magnum and .50AE. Large dangerous game requires big bore heavy bullets that cause massive trauma to kill quick. Ideally 300 - 500 grain in JHP or hard cast WFNGC. This is what you are talking about killing:
