Fri Feb 23, 2018, 08:28 PMjoem777 (22 posts)My experience with the ar15. I learned my lessonJust wanted to share my experience with the ar15 and how it changed me. If you feel the need to tell me how horrible of a person I was or am after reading it, feel free to do so I deserve every bit of it. Trigger warning, this post contains graphic hunting content. I've always been a strong advocate in eating as much organic food as I can. I started hunting deer and wild pigs to put organic meat in the freezer, wholefoods is just too expensive and I can't afford their organic meat. I always used a Winchester lever action 30-30 to hunt with, never had an issue with clean harvests and minimal meat damage. Early last summer I was reading an article in field and stream (a fishing and hutning magazine) about the 223 ar15 and how great it was for hunting. I (now regretable) went out and bought one along with some 55gr soft point bullets. Fast forward to last sept, I went out on a pig hunt with that ar15. After many hours of stalking I finally got an oppertunity at a large hog that was at least 280 pounds (estimated from my previous hunting experience). After I setteld in for the shot and took it at 90 yards with open sights I went to retrieve my pig. What I witnessed later changed my life for ever. The pig was virtually vaporized, the only things that were left were guts and a small part of the hind quarter. I literally cried and sobbed for a good hour. How did I get to the point where I got radicalized by a magazine and went out and bought such a powerful weapon of war? Especially since my trusty lever action 30-30 was doing the job without vaporizing pigs. Two weeks after that I was successful in finding a gun buy back being run by a police department 200 miles away. I called and ask them to reassure me that the weapon would be destroyed, they did. $ I got $100 for the ar15 (I paid $700). I don't care about the money that I lost honestly, I just wanted it gone and feeling emmotional every time I looked at it. I'm so tramutized by my experience that I have been unable to return hunting and or eat red meat. Lets just say I've been eating a lot of soy tofu lately. I actually started doing yoga as well to help me cope and it has been amazing, although I do get some weird looks from all the women there. Still own my Winchester 30-30 along with a 6 shot revolver from the 1960's. Like I said before I learned my lesson.

People do not understand what that weapon of war does. I had a dumbass last night tell me that the AR-15 does less damage than a Glock. WTF!!! His theory was it's a higher power bullet so it flies through a human body doing less damage than the Glock. Maybe somebody who still owns an AR-15 could shoot a pig and post the video on YouTube. I know it's cruel to the pig but maybe then people would ****ing get it. Bless you for having the gun destroyed. And yes, yoga rocks. I always liked it when guys would come to yoga class. PS Thanks for sharing

I've also read the accounts of several ER doctors who worked on the Parkland kids last week. What I remember most is a shot to the liver did so much damage "there was nothing left to repair" so it became a fatal wound. I'm really sorry you were traumatized, but I'm so glad you've shared it with us and hope you'll share it with others too. MANY, many others.

Dafuq did I just read? A .223 doing more damage than a 30-30 (.309 dia)???
Trigger warning, this post contains graphic hunting content. Very thoughtful to add a trigger warning when talking about guns! I've always been a strong advocate in eating as much organic food as I can. I started hunting deer and wild pigs to put organic meat in the freezer, So he goes out and kills Bambi and PPPPporky pig.
In reality the only way this happened is if he was using an M16 with a M203 grenade launcher attached.Not only is he stupid, he believes all the other dumpers are just as stupid to believe it.

Annnd, it's gone.
280 lbs of pig- larger than most men (non-DUmpmonkiez that is) VIPERIZED by a .223 softpoint round from an AR-15 at 90 meters.the 30-30 round, which is .30 cal compared to the .223 cal, a larger round, doesn't VAPORIZE pigs... OMG.... they are just ****ing idiots....
What's I find really funny is in one breath they claim the AR to be as powerful as this. Then when you remind them what the 2nd amendment is about you get this, "so your going to fight government tanks with your little pea shooter" !
