I’ve been out of the loop mostly due to work and a very close family member’s decline and passing from cancer. I finally have been able to get out a little bit recently. I picked up a rare breed trigger and this video is actually the first time I fired it so I didn’t quite have the hang of it just yet.
These pigs were about 50 yards away. I wanted to get at least another 20 yards closer but the guard sow and a smaller pig kept working back and forth away from the group and headed up in my direction so I shot her first. IMHO full auto doesn’t have a ton of practical use but cutting down on a tight group of pigs feeding is one where it very well may shine. Normally in that 1-1.5 seconds after that first shot the group bolts. If they are in cover or near cover (as most often times in my area they are), you will only get 1-3 pigs before they are gone. Even just this first run with the FRT I put over doubt that down. Ones down in the immediate area pictured below. Also had 3 good blood trails headed back into the beaverdam swampy bottoms. The big guard sow was preggers with 6 piglets too, so add that to the count as well.
I do have a transferable MG in transfer I plan on using for this role later on. I took 5 small sized pig targets to the range and laid them out side by side like they were feeding and worked them back and forth in short bursts maybe 10-12 times at 50 yards. Every pass had at least 4/5 pigs hit with a bullet somewhere. While it may not be fatal immediately, it certainly slows them down enough to be able to pick them off after the initial run.
