I don't think it's realistic to think one can take out a UAV with a bullet. Maybe not "A" bullet, but...

To lure the birds in close so I can make the shot.Now THERE is a concept!

If it was that easy, the Taliban would be doing it daily.How do we 'know' they're not?

Just what would you use to shoot down a UAV? Another RC model; dragging a swath of deer fencing?

Ummm....no. We use drones for crop research.
To: wastoute
Go back to your old physics textbook.
You mean, the one that says that if you shoot at something and miss the projectile never lands?
Or the one that says if you shoot a rifle in an upward trajectory without hitting anything the bullet reaches escape velocity and ends up in outer space?

No; the one that postulates that a bullet, fired straight up, will, upon it’s return to earth, will be traveling the same speed at impact as when it left the barrel.

A lot of volume and pressure from a water hose would work if the little beasty dares venturing to close!

Earth has a layer of breathable gasses, the bullet will land at a substantially reduced velocity.

Those things leave a mess, they pile brass by the bushel.

Hey maybe we can get nominated for a recycling award!

I don’t think that makes sense. The bullet should only reach terminal velocity on the way back down.

The bullet should only reach terminal velocity on the way back down.You are correct; although 'terminal' for a hunk of lead would be a bit different than a falling human's body.
There is NO way for it to be the same as when fired, unless it was done in a complete vacuum.
