Bringing this topic back up because I was reminded of it recently.
While I always knew this DUmmy's story was a load of crap, two weeks ago I got extra confirmation of what a lie it was.
My parents and brother, over the last few months, have gotten more interested in gun ownership, largely as a way of protecting themselves with all the social unrest growing. My brother bought an AR- 15, and my parents each got a pistol.
Two weeks ago, we all went out to the shooting range. While I don't own a firearm myself (Never felt the need to, though I have no problem with others legally and responsibly doing so), I figured at least learning to shoot could be a useful skill in an emergency, similar to learning how to change a car tire.
We were of course using plain paper bullseye- type targets for our shooting. When we finished, the paper target my brother had been shooting at with his AR- 15 had a lot of holes from where his bullets had hit it (He was a pretty good shot), but was otherwise whole and in one piece.
If the DUmmy's BS story were true and an AR- 15 could "Vaporize" a wild hog, surely my brother's flimsy little paper target would have been completely obliterated!
In short, DUmmies lie, all the time.
