In THEORY, any bullet MAY kill a bear. However, I would look for a firearm in the power range of a .308 at a minimum- 30-06 or .300 Win Mag would be better. A shotgun loaded with slugs (12g) would also be a good choice at close range. Handguns would start at .44 magnum, and go up.

Can a 1200fps gun kill a bear?

No! And for those that think the bear will ignore it I'll just say this. If you are OUT OF YOUR MIND and use a pellet gun then the bear WILL NOT, I REPEAT, WILL NOT IGNORE IT! IT WILL ATTACK! Therfore the only out come is it will charge you while you are reloading your precious single-shot pellet gun and will have you for supper. If you are hunting deer or elk with a pellet gun then you can kill one because there are high-powerd pellet guns out there that are proven to kill medium game...BUT NOT LARGE GAME!


Can a 40 bullet fit 32 gun?

If you mean a .40 caliber bullet in a .32 caliber gun- no. The bullet would be 8 thousandths of inch too large to fit in the gun. Caliber refers to the diameter of the bullet, so a .40 caliber bullet is ABOUT .40 inches across, and a .32 bullet ABOUT .32 inches across.
