bear banger

noun

Definitions

  1. A firearm cartridge designed to produce a loud bang for defence against bears.

    • Consider bear bangers. They are even lighter and smaller than bear spray. The bear banger is a tube the size of a small pen which is hand held.
    • And even when a bear is scared by the sound of a bear banger, there is little control over the direction in which it will run, particularly if you drop the charge behind or above the bear instead of in front of it— both are easy to do.
    • Some wildlife officers are experimenting with aggressive dogs and guns that shoot noisy shells called bear bangers.
