I have seen air rifles take wild hogs. so if you place a round right you can take one. The size of that air rifle was .25. But you can use a larger one if you want.

Impressive. I realize even a BB placed well can kill, but...
What do you recommend in a long gun for personal protection against, say, humans, that are much more fragile than wild pigs? That’s the only animal those carbines are designed to stop. None of the pigs I’ve ever shot stood still for long, so how much time do we have to aim to place a round right? I’m not such a bad shot myself, but I wouldn’t go trying to take wild pigs with an air rifle, or a pistol round from a carbine. Well, maybe a .44 magnum, which is a revolver round, or a .45 Win Mag, or .50 AE. I have a friend who felt his M1 Carbine was sufficient for wild pigs on Catalina, and emptied that gun before he stopped that pig from doing him serious harm.
Just sayin’ I wouldn’t recommend pistol round firing carbines to take wild pigs, but I see you would. OK.
