    Not realizing you weren’t from NZ at first, I sort of thought you were someone who has hallucinations talking about droves of pigs.

      Lol! I actually go to Texas and other places that have nasty wild hog issues to assist in managing their populations for farmers. Hogs are remarkable creatures, actually. Unfortunately, they are efficiently destructive, extremely smart and they usually come in large numbers. Honestly speaking, it pushes the limits of what an AR is capable of.

      However, when you look at the weapon as a tool and not as an analog for comparing dick size, it’s versatility is amazing. Having a semiautomatic with a collapsible stock with a 10 inch barrel actually makes sense when you have to hike through the hell of hog territory.

      What I am saying is that practicality is a huge factor. Bolt action rifles can be impractical and even a hazard in some situations. Firearms are tools, and need to be treated as such.
