Shotguns are good on drones. Any slight damage to a rotor neutralizes that type. A goose gun would be just the thing.

Why not string tear-away nets between other drones? Or shoot a variant of silly string from a defensive drone?
Just tangle them up.

They should sell tickets. Sounds like fun!
Shooting down drones from the back of an airplane? I think people would pay to do that.
So, do they provide the gun and the ammo, too, or do you have bring your own?

Hopefully some new longer range goose loads will come out of this practice.

The future of war, prop planes and shotguns will make Aircraft Carriers obsolete.

Wouldn't it be easier for these slope heads to just make peace? But they enjoy war.

Ain’t no profit in that, besides who will win the ballgame? Someone HAS to WIN. A tie is not allowed, it always goes into overtime and more innings are played...

Yes 3 inch 12 or 10 gauge goose shot #2 or BB work well in taking down UAV’s

The drone sophistication is increasing.

It was a jar of pickled tomatoes at a drone hovering at her balcony, and they think it was a burglar’s drone checking to see which apartments were empty from people evacuating.

Seems like they could get some super duty props and just chop the drones up
