Trying to hit them little chit’s might be a problem, kinda like swatting gnat’s.
We had chickens when I was a Kid and the chicken house would get full of sparrows. Tried sling shots and pellet rifles but it was useless. One day I grabbed a tennis racket and ran in and shut the door behind me. It was chaos and mayhem for about 30 minutes. When I opened the door and came out there was 37 bodies on the ground. Only had to do that a couple more times and the sparrow problem ended. That’s the kind of redneck ingenuity they need to use in designing a defense against these swarms.
In my Redneck mind I see a flying Remington 1100 with about a 25 round capacity, number 2’s or BB’s should be sufficient in taking out a small drone. Hell that would work for hunting these damn blue quail here in West Texas. Them little birds are track stars and can run a dog to death. Oh! and it needs to be able to play Flight of the Valkries when it moves in for the shot.
In really like the mosquitoes zapping rackets on the market make killing mosquitoes fun.

Everybody thinks they are Annie Oakley or better!
Videos of drone shooting attempts, methinks lots of skill and luck are needed.
Or maybe a punt gun, but difficult to follow a fast target?
Or the right equipment.
The eagle was cool!

I’d like to think they tuned in to everything from DC to daylight and recording for further study.
The “Ghostbuster guns”?
An article around here someplace of Ukraine’s manufacturing and using something very similar.
Carry a couple of black frisbee with you.
When the quail run, throw the frisbee over them and they will freeze in the brush until you flush.
Did this a number of times.
We had the same problem with those sparrows. Finally sealed off all openings with 1/2” weld wire. Chicken wire wouldn’t work. They would go right through it.
Blue quail are amazing. We took our short hairs (6) down south one time. Those birds drove them dogs crazy not conveying up. We started mazing and crack corn on the roads and then just drove around. They were still hard to get
