[Pontiac]

First time he was stalked by a bear while fishing so I gave him an Aussie L1A1, the Brit version of an FN FAL, for protection.

I am sure that it is very effective as a defensive weapon but it seems like that it would be pretty heavy for a hiker to carry through the woods.

Of course unloading a 20 round mag in to a bear should end an attack.

you would have time to get off only a couple of shots in a bear attack.
