This is why people hunt pheasants with shotguns rather than assault rifles.

Actually, I think that it was really one of the shotguns that brought it down. The AR15 stops firing, the shotgun to his right fires at roughly 1:49 in the video, and you can see the plane flare as though hit. Possible that the AR15 hit it and it just took a small delay for some piece or control surface to break free, but from the timing I think the shotgun did it.

When they survey the damage on the recovered plane, the tail holes are definitely from shotgun pellets. The body damage I am not sure of.

They probably shot fish, land animals, etc. too.

How the rich choose to spend their time

Yes, they know the ballistics of how far the bullets are traveling

Wow - I took a full minute and 40 seconds for someone to tell Annie Oakley with the AR15 that he wasn't leading it enough? Fuuuuuck.

I thought fully automatic assault rifles (and machineguns, SMGs,etc) arent allowed for the public in the US?

They're not outlawed, but just really hard to get a hold of.
