You can't sum it up any better than that.

I believe the old prize fighting saying, "Everyone has a plan, until they've been hit once", relates to more than just boxing. Reading all the "ultimate bear gun" threads over the past few years, I have read a lot of theories on how guys would handle a hell bent bear. Bottom line is this, the biggest factor that will dictate how an attack will end, has a lot less to do with caliber and a lot more to do with self control. Until you experience it, you can't know for sure how you will perform. People do silly things under pressure.
