So...they should have just been hog-fodder...because other things are dangerous too?

Don't be shy about it, C2. I'm often impressed but still amazed at the number of fans that middling University of Arkansas has around the world. "Go hawgs!"

in my opinion
springfield M1A is what you should be pig hunting with
has more stopping power than the AR14/15
no matter where you hit the pig its going to knock it to the ground
other option would be 12 gauge solid rounds

The AR-15 is superior to the M1A for the same reasons the US military retired the M14 in favor of the M16.
And if you have any problem with the AR-15 being the civilian version of a military weapon, the same holds for the M1A.
Most shotguns do not have the fire rate the take on multiple targets at once.

Most AR-15s for pig hunting are set up for speed. After the first shot is fired, the passel of pigs is going to bolt in every direction. Any follow-up shots will be made on moving targets, and that’s when the speed of the AR platform comes into play....An AR-10—or any .308 AR patterned rifle—may be better for areas with really big hogs.

I'm guessing pigs "in every direction" aren't akshully any kind of threat - you just need rapid fire to kill a lot of pigs.

Wild hogs destroy natural habitats and need to be culled.
