There is a back country highway south of Salinas CA that has an 8 gauge shotgun hanging on the wall, the gal behind the counter says it prevents trouble, and then I asked her when was the last time she bought ammo for it, because from what I recall the last 8 gauge shells were sold around the 1920’s.

With the right loads and composite materials there could be a resurgence of punt guns to counter drones.

Well I don't know if a mag-fed 20mm could be called a punt gun, but I bet it could knock some things down:

I think they still make 8gauge shells.

They use them, or at least did use them, for breaking up balls of cement in the kilns.

I’ve been thinking about counter-drones or rockets with nets. Drones aren’t very sturdy, and nylon net should foul the propeller(s) and bring one down like a brick. I figure $50 to knock out a $20,000 drone should even things up pretty quick!
