That could be some expensive bacon...what does a helicopter cost, close to $500/hr?

The bacon is the gravy, the saved crops pays for the helicopter and the shooters.

All I can tell from the video is they need better shooters or a mini gun, a lot of pigs seemed to get away.

You haven't priced (what looks like) 50cal ammunition, have you? ;-)

It was most likely .223/5.56 through a M4A1, definitely not .50cal

People seem to think that there are two kinds of ammunition, .22 rimfire and huge. I remember the New Haven police chief standing up before the CT legislature and claiming that 5.56mm NATO was "the biggest bullet he had ever seen", which the legislature seemed to accept but which totally destroyed his credibility with anybody who had any familiarity with firearms.
A variety of weapons were depicted in that video though--there were a few frames in which someone appeared to be using a shotgun but most seemed to be small caliber. Not a .50 cal machine gun in sight though.

AR platforms in .308 are common nowadays, plus I saw shotguns in some of the footage.

It looked a lot bigger than a .223 to me. I wouldn't think that would be a great round for a boar, in any case.
