Got pork?

http://www.breitbart.com/article.ph...e=1ℑ=large



If this is real, it's very impressive. I didn't realize pistol calibers went as high as 50 cal.

Ever heard of the Desert Eagle? There's a .50 cal AE version of that.

Re: Got pork?

I dont know about this one. I shot a wild boar in Africa 7 times with my M-16 and it still didnt die. I had to put one right between the eyes for it to drop.

Re: Got pork?

Think of it this way. A wild bored of normal size are very pissy, like chase you up a tree pissy. This kid had to kill him or he was basically dead, and probably eaten.

Nice pig though. I would have missed and emptied the clip, shaking as he was moveing along.

You have to realize that an M-16 is only a .223 caliber rifle. A very small bullet compared to a .50 caliber.

Regardless of caliber, if you don't make a killing shot, you're never going to find an animal that you shoot. Animals don't watch TV and don't realize that they're supposed to fall over when they're shot. They'll haul butt to a safe place, where they'll either lick their wounds and recover or bleed to death.

Re: Got pork?

Good god, the kid looks like he's packing a customized 6" Colt .50.

I'm confused, what was the story behind this animal's dismal death and what animal is this?

Re: Got pork?

Wow, when I originally read the article, I missed this:

Quote:
He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50- caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.

Re: Got pork?

Whereas I'm not big on hunting in general , I wouldn't be hunting pigs that size with a .50 cal pistol. I'd probably load up my 12 gauge with 1 oz. slugs or just go for broke with my dad's 10 gauge.

Re: Got pork?

How much recoil would there be with a .50-caliber revolve?
