.. when you fire shotgun pellets into the air, they're going to be coming down back to earth at very high velocity if you miss the drone ..

Don't know where that insight came from Ray but it's dead wrong. Spent shotgun pellets won't even break your skin. A lapse of concentration rabbit hunting at Lake Eucumbene many moons ago (as Senator Warren might say) proved that. Cheers, Byron

—you have it right -——while the ability of any shotgun load to bring down a drone is minimal, shotgun pellets do not descend at high velocity and are in general, the least dangerous of firearm projectiles beyond bird hunting range—
