i'm not sure, fragmentation bullets is the term the article used. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 27/11/2009 09:56:50 PM
all i know is the result was lots of little bits of metal that made it dangerous for the veterinarians to do surgery on the bear.

I just don't understand why the hell a tranq gun wasn't available/used. The only reason I can think of why it wouldn't was if for some strange reason the police were closer to the bear than a keeper, vet, or available tranq. Which doesn't make sense to me unless the zoo has in-house policemen patrolling.

By fragmentation bullets do you mean hollow points? Brian - 27/11/2009 06:47:59 PM 687 Views
Doubt it. Frangible ammunition shatters to spread out. Hollow point expands to make 1 big hole Cannoli - 27/11/2009 07:56:46 PM 494 Views

So a situation that is "fun" for a bear but leaves a person dead is better than both surviving? Cannoli - 27/11/2009 07:48:00 PM 541 Views
