Did This Charging Bear Just Change My Mind On FRTs?

About this video

Colion argues that force reset triggers (FRTs) may be an ideal defensive tool against charging bears, based on his analysis of a video showing a bear absorbing a rifle round and continuing to charge. He breaks down his reasoning that volume of fire may be more effective than precise shot placement when facing a large animal moving at high speed, proposing a short-barreled rifle in 300 Blackout with an FRT as his preferred setup. Colion acknowledges he lacks field data on this application and invites viewer feedback on whether his ballistics reasoning holds up.

Key takeaways

• Colion presents the case that force reset triggers could provide life-saving volume of fire against charging wildlife, multiplying effective hits in the 2-3 seconds a bear takes to close distance
• According to Colion, shot placement under extreme stress may be less reliable than putting multiple rounds into a large target quickly, which he argues changes the problem from marksmanship to physics
• Colion emphasizes the importance of testing defensive firearms under realistic conditions, recounting his own experience discovering he couldn’t shoot his intended bear gun (Glock 20) well enough to rely on it
