Bella Twin used a .22 Long from a single shot Cooey Ace 1 to kill a record big grizzly bear.
That should be a 1d+1 pi- shot to the skull of the bear.
Grizzlies have 19 hit points.
This is not an easy shot.
The story says that she used her expert knowledge of the bear's anatomy to hit it where its skull was thinnest.
I don't have official rules for this, but I'd allow a roll against an appropriate skill to know of a place on an animal that bypasses the extra skull DR.
I'd also give it a penalty to hit similar to hitting the eye.
Max damage of 7 to the skull will become 20 damage done.
That's enough to knock the bear unconscious, just barely, if it rolls poorly, and Bella Twin put another six in basically the same spot once it was down to make sure it stayed down.
This shoot will GURPS.
Could you GURP a poachers deer kills with a 22 LR and then a 22 Mag please. As I've been there, I am curious just how "lucky" a shot they were in GURPS.
ReplyDeleteIf the head has a DR 2 what is the equivalent armor material for DR2 say as a handheld shield for an example. Curious to learn just how hard my head is (My wife has an opinion LOL).
Cool story thanks for the links
ReplyDeleteShe shot the bear in the ear. That’s what my father-in-law told me once. I do know that a guy fishing on the Russian River killed a Brown bear with a 9mm that way a few years back.

Halfway between the ear and eye according to the linked article.
