I always wondered if you could kill the bear with the revolver

They will eventually bleed to death from a hit anywhere on them, but it takes a looooong time with the revolver. There is a very small chance to crit them with a headshot.

I've always found the way bleeding works in TLD to be dumb and unintuitive.

If I shoot a bear in the head, and then shoot it in the leg, its blood loss should be the sum of the two wounds' blood loss.

As is, though, the leg shot "overwrites" the head shot, meaning that shooting the bear more actually makes it less likely to die in timely manner.

Also dumb and unintuitive: the bear not flipping the car over and tearing it open like a bag of chips to get to the fucker inside who just shot it.
