And think, hmmm, vitals hit, instant kill with this round.

A 300 lb pig has a ST of 12 and DR 1. Vitals hit with a pi round does 3x damage. Both the Barnes TTSX and Nosler Accubond are expanding rounds, so they bump to pi+ (which doesn't seem to increase the damage at all since we're hitting vitals).

So, to get instant death we need to do 72 points of damage to our 12 HP pig. 24 points of basic damage. I list 6.8 as a 6d pi attack.

Hollow points make the DR 2. So I need a basic roll of 26 to do this. Average hit of 6d is 21. That gives 57 points of damage. That puts piggy at -45 HP. That's 1 consciousness roll and 3 death rolls, it's also a major wound requiring a roll to avoid being knocked down (at -5). It's possible for that to be a kill.

Even better! According to the 4e GURPS Update, ST = 2 x (cube root of weight in pounds) round down. The 222 lb. boar would have a ST of 12 and the 208 lb. boar would have a ST of 11.

ST 12 piggy with an average 3.5 pts per die is as above. ST 11 piggy is at -46 points, but takes an extra death roll.
