With the increasing popularity of hunting, it is crucial to abide by the necessary regulations and guidelines. Gun use is a big issue, so why do people generally use bolt action rifles and shotguns when hunting?

As a responsible hunter, you are primarily responsible for ensuring your safety and that of others. Observe the principles of firearm use and handle firearms under safe conditions. In addition, you must also be responsible for the prey you want to hunt, abide by local hunting regulations, and only hunt permitted prey. When hunting, aim to kill prey with one shot and avoid leaving wounded prey.

Among the firearms used by hunters, bolt action rifles and shotguns are commonly used tools. Bolt action rifles are generally used when hunting large game; shotguns are generally used when hunting small game and birds.

When hunting large animals, if the powerful bullets used in the bolt action rifle hit the chest organ of the prey, it will knock down the prey. Bolt action rifles have strong penetration capabilities. If you use an AK assault rifle, its power will be reduced a lot. Because the bullets used in AK assault rifles are semi-powerful, and the use of assault rifles is restricted by law. When hunting small animals, any weapon other than a shotgun is unreliable. Guns that are too powerful will destroy the flesh, and small animals are too small and move too fast, making them prone to failure.

Hunters hunt for fun, food, or collectibles. The ferocious firepower and vicious bullets of an assault rifle destroy the body and fur of its prey. Just like the 5.56 NATO bullet, the warhead will break into many fragments when it penetrates the flesh. No one wants their food to be mixed with internal organs and broken bones, and they are also afraid that their food will contain extremely dangerous metal fragments, and they don't want to see many bullet holes in the prey's fur.

Additionally, bolt-action rifles and shotguns are relatively quiet. If you use an automatic rifle, the sound of shooting is very loud, which will disturb the animals, making it difficult to find prey for hunting. Wild animals have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they can smell the smell of a gun and escape quickly. The more parts a gun has, the more gun oil it has and the stronger the smell.
