Clean your panties out babe.

Open question: do the DOC boys culling from helicopters use full autos? Why or why not?

No they don't, as you now know its not allowed for under legislation.

Nope. Using shotguns on semi auto. Because its easier to hi a moving target with buck shot, and they dont have time to haze that many tahr.

Why not? several reasons- 1st and primarily- they are not included in the laws and exemptions that allow the armed forces to use them, means under no circumstances would they be allowed. 2nd, I seriously doubt they would have the budget for that, and 3rd, because the helicopters available would not have enough room for all the new doc employees that would sign up just to see if they can "have a shot at it". let alone the budget for the ammo they will undoubtedly burn through.

With reference to the first one, it could have been easier to train soldiers to shoot Tahr, and treat it as a combines DoC cull, and a Military training excercise. If they retrieved the carcasses, they could also feed the armed forces as well. (survival training on how to process food behind enemy lines...?)

All said tongue in cheek, just in case anyone takes it personally....

And here I was imagining them massacring wallabies with a minigun.

Just kidding, though I had assumed they got the "required for my job" excemption. Seems a lot more humane to triple tap them with full auto or at least burst fire to make sure they don't get gut shot and die slowly and painfully but what do I know.

I really don't know, but I'd hope not. My experience firing 7.62x51 on full auto with an R1 with a 20/30 rd magazine would lead to mostly xero hits from a moving helicopter and we only carried around 250 rounds each, so they disappeared real quick. A door gunner with either 7.62x51 or 50 cal and many canisters for effect is the go. Even with feet placed firmly on the ground and firing an R5 ( 5.56) with a 30/40/50 rd mag on full auto will see few hits on a life sized target at 25 metres. Practice does help, but very few old soldiers or police would contemplate more than 4 or 5 round bursts. Semi auto is way more sensible.

Not a whole lot when it comes to firearm sit seems...

Full auto fire is not exactly an accurate way of shooting, despite what you see in the movies...

Having said that, most culling operations are not really concerned with ethical shot placement.

I found a full auto legal loophole!!! Airsoft!

It is against the law to own and fire fully automatic live firing weapons in New Zealand. Pretty simple really.

Well Preacher you need to be converted not us. 'Man Speak' is statistically 90% humour mixed with 10% facts. Lets all keep it at that ratio and avoid the 'lesbian speak'

That is just sooooo abusive speech. It should be shut down, suppressed, outlawed. Help! I'm melting!!! [snowflake metamorphoses into snowdrop]

Do you suffer from incontinence yourself or just have a fetish for people shitting their pants?

The legal determination of length for rifles is still before the courts, so if this rifle was >762mm with a stock extended, he may not be in breach of any law. So, he wouldn't need a B endorsement.

Several round bursts on full auto is plenty accurate for what I was describing.

Why not both?

There's this magical new thing called YouTube where people like IV88 and Eric Pettway regularly fire and discuss the accuracy potential of full auto guns. Crazy right?
