That was more like a pea shooter than a pistol. I think the boar had a heart attack after the 3hrs of running through the mountains and the tree's which is what really killed it. Regardless, it's hard to imagine that pig living long enough to get that huge without someone seeing it and shooting it sooner. And the photograph, geez. That boar is unbelievable...probably would take a week to roast it whole! I am pretty confident that I do have enough bbq sauce in stock for a task of that magnitude. My wife being a crazy coupon shopper, I must have at least a hundred fifty bottles of bbq sauce in my pantry.

Jeff I would call a .50 caliber anything but a peashooter!! Check out the image below. From the left, shows a .223 which is fired from my AR-15 (a civillian version of a M-16) the round in the center is a .30-06 which brings down pretty good size deer. And last but not least is the mighty .50 cal.
What I'd like to know is how it survived 8 hits!!

O.K. before I get anyone blasting me about my previous posted picture and comparison of rounds, let me add this one below that shows a .50 cal. pistol round which is what the boy was shooting.

From left to right: .50 Action Express, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 9 mm Luger Parabellum, .22 Long Rifle.

ok, well what do I know about guns. I thought the .50 pistol was the training pistol. Didn't know they had 50 cal in a pistol, thought that was rifle only, like what military snipers use. Pistol looks mighty small in his hands too. You sure you're right and does that pistol hold 8 50 cal rounds? Seems like I saw on the military channel a sniper 50 cal rifle that holds 5 rounds, they said it was the only one, all others hold only a single round, and the new rifle has zero recoil and a 3 mile range. Of course, I"m the last guy to ask about guns, all I have is a 22 and a high power pellet rifle. Biggest kill I ever had was a raccoon, which I took down with the pellet rifle, one shot one kill.

Don't know anything about pistols either. I have .22 for small game and a 30-30 for deer. Pellets are also part of the knowledge here.
If I ever meet a pig that size I would hope that my 30-30 is enough to stop it.
