    My stepdad shot one in the face with a 9mm pistol from about 6ft away.

    The bullet went under the skin on its forehead, traveled around the top of its skull, and out the skin on the back of its head. All it did was stun the hog long enough for him to grab his 30-06 from the Mule

      Ty4the info.

      The meme does specify 3-5 min.

      5 min 50 hogs would be 6sec/hog. Given you’ve a decent tactical knowhow on an AR, I’d argue it’s doable, if they had to come down some sort of narrow field of fire, like through a gate and if possible, having like a concrete structure leading up to the gate so they have to bottle up.

      In that case and with luck on your side, maybe 6s would be enough to disable a hog if you’re not on the same level as them and just raining down on them.

      Even a fast fingered guy with a boltlock would have trouble with 6s/hog.

      But the swines are goddamn terminators, I’ll grant that. The only animal I’d really be somewhat afraid of meeting outside. They crazy and have been known to kill adult men.

      I wouldn’t be nearly as afraid of meeting a lone wolf on a field as a lone hog. Especially when I’d have trouble seeing where it is and it could just smash my legs and no trees to climb in the middle of a field.

    feral hogs are incredibally dangerous, fast, can weigh hundreds of lbs, and has tusk. unrelated to wild boars of eurasia.

      Unfortunately full auto is basically illegal. It’s “not” if you have like $50k in two different licenses that give the ATF the power to do whatever they want to you, but predictably that means “full auto only for rich people who sell guns” in practice.

      OR you can spend that same amount or more on a preban that is actually transferrable, but again paying more than 1yr of my salary for a transferrable AR with wallered out pin holes is kind of a rich man’s activity.

      OR you could easily make one illegally in exchange for 10yr in federal prison if caught, which is by far the most common option taken in the form of glock switches and drop in auto sears.

    The fact that the very specific numbers in that quote add up to 88, a Nazi dogwhistle, is probably not a coincidence.
