There are levels of risk I am not prepared to accept. I'll carry an assault shotgun, an assault rifle, and a dedicated ammunition-hauling dog with me if I go outside a town in Svalbard.

I hope not: although, say, an M16 is a good weapon, you'd do better with something chambered in a full rifle cartridge (e.g. .30-06) against a bear rather than an intermediate cartridge

Alright, fine, then an FGM-148.

If a polar bear is charging me, I want his ancestors to feel what I'm going to do to him.

You can skip the dog. A polar bear can sprint at 40 km/h, so if you're attacked by one, you'll be lucky if you can squeeze off more than one or two shots.

What is an assault shotgun, one painted black and with a bayonet mounted? I think you can have something like this in Fallout.

SPAS-12, AA-12, or similar? Or maybe he's referring to one like the Ithica 37 with slam fire capabilities? The guy really just needs a M1 Garand.
