Dumb girl question: Obviously not a jet, but could a Kalashnikov take out a drone? (I haven’t seen a video of one. I’m assuming they’re low & slow)

You and I have that in common, I have never seen one either, but it seems a good hacker can take one out, as Iran now has to of them to copy thanks to Obama.

A drone flies 13,000 to 23,000 feet on average. That’s 2.5 to 5 miles away. Good luck hitting anything flying 100-300mph at that distance, not to mention shooting upwards.
