Well, I wasn't there and cannot really say anything other than, while I never shot a .50 cal pistol, I shot a .44 mag. I made 3 feet! groups at 20 yards (yeah, I know it was pathetic! but I weigh 75Kg/166 Lbs). I have hard times buying that a 11 years old kid (for as heavy as he looks) can take the recoil. The .50 cal has a shock absorber system but it probably weighs close to 3Lbs (1.5Kg).
1) Hold a 3 Lbs bag in shooting position, take the recoil once (pretty much like stopping a small scooter hitting your palm, wrist and elbow), run after the hog.

3) ...
4) ...
5) ...
6) ...
7) ...
finally.
Not to mention that taking a shot at such an animal without 3000% certainty to drop it on its track, is retarded. Eventually, his dad, instead of proudly posing with his kid, should get a stick and beat the crap out of him.
Also, I was wondering how a hog can manage to get that big if it enjoys posing for sloppy shooters.
Whatever, never say never.
