Just because they are so much fun. Very accurate. Fairly easy to shoot. Cheap to shoot. Why wouldn’t anyone want one?

I bet that was a drive like they do in Europe and they picked their blocker spot a little too well!!
And yes you need an AR-15 or two…No pigs aren’t why. Mudshark covered it well

Attacking??? That's a stretch. What would you call it when 10-15 wild hogs are running at you? Would you let them get all the way to you so you could find out if they are a friendly tribe? I see a bunch of hogs running helter skelter. One hog runs into the cameraman and the guy behind him, then keeps running. I would hardly call that an attack. (And for the record, I DO own an AR-15.)

Ar in 6mm arc would be plenty. Gotta give them guys credit, they are putting lead down range if using bolt guns.

Nice one Hop! That's an heavy load !! I debated what round to go with when I decided to go from AR 10 to 15 platform. We stalk giant wheat fields and that AR10 with thermal and suppressor was heavy sob. I ended up going this 6.5 Grendel. Its still heavy with the thermal but a lot easier to handle on the move, I still use this Kimber .308 sitting in a blind in daylight hunting for one giant during the annual February Wise Co Hog contest . The Colt AR is no doubt what Id want in my hands if I was in that video. We have one feeder right under an elevated stand of trees and its a lot of fun to shoot one in the head with that S/W .357

I had a neighbor call me from the bed of his pickup one time because the hogs had him penned up lol. He probably had a sack of deer corn in there with him

well since I already hijacked this, lol, I did the sbrs mainly for ease of carry in the sxs. equals out to about an 18" barrel on that one with the suppressor and weight/balance are good. I have a .17, 5.56, 7.62x39 and the .300 bo uppers with 2 registered lowers so I can swap out.
had to go with the .300 for subsonic, damn 7.62x39 and 5.56 are too pricey right now, almost 2.00 a round for the 5.56

Why do I NEED an AR-15?
Because I can't own an M-16 why, yes, yes you can. lol call H&H in Okiecity, back in 2010 or 11 I was in there and they had 4 in the case, cheap one was 20,000.00, all were former military guns (stamped lowers). they had a couple of mp5s also, those were about 25k ea. and were former military also. if I had that kind of stupid money I would get a WWII BAR, baddest arse full auto ever for a shoulder fired gun.

hop, try the Lehigh Defense 194 gr. Maximum Expansion over 9.4 gr. of H-110. Out of my 7" barrel (5" twist) they are crazy consistent and average 1083 fps. That bullet's terminal performance is amazing! I don't know if the price went up since Wilson Combat bought them out, but I haven't seen a better-performing subsonic .30 caliber bullet.
