Wild hogs come in droves and they are extremely skittish. An AR is probably one of the best firearms for hogs if you need to control a population of them, actually. Accuracy is moot at around ~100yds and it’s about putting down as many hogs as you can in the few seconds you have.

LOL. So you just spray into the herd then eh?

When used properly, AR is an extremely versatile weapon. It’s lightweight, easy to maintain and can be configured for quite a few hunting situations.

So are fully automatic weapons, so are hand grenades. In fact you could just throw a grenade into that herd of hogs right?
