$13M means $13,000,000, not $13,000, right?

And that’s a shoulder fired weapon...imagine what they’re come up with for ship or area defense systems versus the wonder drone weapons...

They oughta’ mount that device on a 50 caliber machine gun or a shotgun with a ballistic slug for drones....wonder if it could knock a RPG out...maybe that also could be used on smaller caliber rifles for snipers or general short range fire fights...just point in that general direction and you will hit it...

Drones might move somewhat randomly like rabbits.

Also, I think larger exploding projectiles with pellets would be needed to reliably take out a drone.

Also, since I normally hear drones before I see them, I think that noise cancellation might be useful.

If the sensor is optical, a can of spray paint might make the drone hard to see.

Can't imagine this working very well against a drone trying to avoid being shot down.

Future drones will have a terminal evasive algorithm manifesting itself in rapid changes in direction even though the drone always knows precisely where it is in relation to the target.

If a drone is hovering stationary, I can see it being shot down. But if it is moving, I can’t picture it being targeted accurately. Kinda like when shooting pheasants, you have to lead the target.
