My daughter wants to use a Slidefire for a hog hunt in Florida this November and we have been talking about a Hili hunt in Texas in April.
I am not sure about the practicality of using a slide fire for hog hunting.
If anyone has any experience using a slide fire for hogs please chime in.

I should give some info.
My daughter is 16, she HATES hogs.
She is an excelent shot and puts me to shame, last fall she shot a running hog at 140 yards.
She is very familiar with ARs.

I don't see it as practical. Although I want the hogs gone there might be other animals that could be in the background or line of fire especially in Texas with lots of exotics. I also am not against a Slidefire, I have one, and love playing with it but I don't use it on animals. April is a great time for Axis in Texas by the way.

Meh, I doubt it would be effective except for very close ranges.  




But you should try it and let us know how it works.  Take video.  :)

It will work fine.

"practicality"
Who cares, never used a bump fire but it sounds like it could be a hoot. I have killed a few pigs and can think of only one occasion where it might have been useful. As noted above, take video for us

I have use a slide fire and it is a lot of fun.  One can be fairly accurate.  With this in mind I would still not use one hunting.  Too many fliers, would rather try to ensure all the shots counted.  A 30 round mag does not last long with the slide fire.

Obviously, on the ground make sure to be double damn sure of the surroundings. On the helihunt...death from above!!!

No. Machine guns are for hiden targets, and suppressing enemy activity.

Hunt. Hogs don't shoot back.

Plus if you hit a deer in the back ground, you will feel like shit.
