The newer AR-15's turn hogs into BLT's instantly.  There's an app.  You just have to bring the bread, lettuce and tomatoes.

Damn, I must be shopping at the wrong gun store.  The 4 AR's I have won't vaporize a coyote, must less a full grown hog.

2.  Maybe you could share your story with the NRA crowd?

Here's one..  She should come on over here for that discussion.     :fuelfire:

Shooter was obviously using the spent uranium round.  Lights 'um up like a radar range.   :lmao: 

When I was younger, long  before the turn of the century, we were allowed to 'drive' deer.  In those days my cousins and I would be the barkers going through the woods and uncles and older cousins would be set up. Several uncles shot semi 30-06 's.  One day we drove a deer toward the sets and you hear " tat tat tat, then tat tat tat, then tat tat tat", then a single bang (a bolt action .410 was in use at the end of the set line.)  The semi's pretty much made hamburg of the deer but the single .410 stopped it dead. And that's the way it was.   :fuelfire:

LOL, people have access to YouTube (if they don't already possess enough knowledge to know that this DU poster was full of crap). Not only will an AR-15 not vaporize a hog, but some hogs will require more than one shot to put down.

I can't decide what's funnier. The OP (which is brilliant, Hi-5 to whoever put that together), the DUmmies that lapped it up or the fact that it was alerted and was allowed to stand because it was so believable.  The only reason the post is gone is because Skinner, or one of his minions, banned the poster.  So one of the Admins took a look at the thread and considered how stupid it made them all look and killed it.  How sad is it when Skinner, EarlG and Elad are considered the adults in the room.

This guy must be taking notes from that one drama queen who wrote an article saying how firing an AR gave him PTSD and hurt his shoulder.

A couple of days ago I was watching this show called Bizarre Foods. The host was in Texas and was shooting hogs with an AR from the back of a pickup truck. No vaporizing there.

All those years spent in the military and each time I was on the range they never did anything like vaporize those plastic targets we shot at .

The AR certainly would not be my choice for hunting feral hogs.  Great play on the idiots though.

I have been thinking about getting a PCC (pistol caliber carbine). This type of rifle is becoming popular in leaps and bounds.

Over the past few months I have been looking at them and speaking to others that have them. This in an attempt to decide which PCC is the right fit for me. What I have decided on is a 9mm PCC that uses Glock magazines. Also, over the last year I've putting together a collection of general gunsmithing tools and a number of AR15 specific tools. The only tool I don't have is a barrel nut wrench and headspace gages.

So over the last several months or so I have been thinking of building my own based on the modular AR design. This is called in some circles an AR-9. I want to buy some of the major components from a company called Palmetto State Armory, they sell a lot of AR tackle and have a large inventory.

Anyway to the point, I went to visit the Palmetto website last night and noticed that compared to a few weeks ago when just about everything was in stock, now just about everything is out of stock. So I guess I will wait, I hope that there isn't going to be a big run on all things firearms like after Sandy Hook because it took years for things to get back to normal. Over the weekend, I did however purchase (from other sources) enough rimfire 22 ammo to last the 2018 season and 5K federal small pistol primers.

I've heard gun & ammo sales are up in FL. Whether out of concern about more laws attacking legal gun owners or a realization of the limitations on what LEOs can and will do, I can't guess. "Both" would not surprise me.

I realize that upstate NY is a far distance from FL, but I went and put my name on a CC revolver over the weekend--a Ruger LCR in .357 Magnum.  I asked about a S&W M&P 340, and it priced out at $950-plus.  So, I figured that I'd try the LCR with the shrouded hammer.

I have one of the old Ruger carbines in .44 Mag, great little rifle.  Don't like their new ones (too much plastic and I think they're only doing 9mm now).

Have you considered a Henry lever action?  Beautiful, made in the USofA, and great cartridges.  My wife has one in .357.

I know they're a bit pricey, but they are FANTASTIC rifles.

My LGS has a used Winchester 94 (AE, I believe) in .357 Magnum with a Trapper-length barrel.  A tad north of $850.  I was close . . . :whistling:

As for the old Ruger Deerfield .44 Magnum carbines, my cousin bought one that someone at the deer camp I belong to had.  The owner died of lung cancer a few years ago, and his wife was selling his long guns.  My cousin sighted it in with one .44 Magnum load, then used another load to hunt with.  He had a buck come down to his ground blind while he had the Ruger . . . and he missed it. :banghead:  He's going to make damned sure his rifles hit where he wants, with the right loads, as he missed two different bucks with two different rifles this past deer season. :banghead:

Google the A-10 Thunderbolt (warthog) and you will see they built an air frame around the venerable .223 gun and variants that can shoot the super duper 5.56 round when you absolutely have to turn it up to 11!

I got a Baretta PX4 carbine a few years back, it was an opportunity buy that I couldn't pass up.
For the life of me I can't figure out why I need such a thing, but I have to admit, it's an outright blast to shoot. The kids love the thing too. Only prob is the small magazines as they are interchangeable with the PX4 pistols

Example, mine doesnt have optics on it tho
