I have taken assault rifles to war, and I can tell you first hand that they do not provide the reliable one-shot stops against even a man sized target that you need against a charging bear.
It isn't about volume of fire unless the bear is armed and you want to keep it's head down. It's about one good round that will stop it before it can hurt you...after it is already close enough to make you feel threatened.
