What ever happened to good old pellet or BB-Guns? Especially C02 versions. Those can easily take down the small drones. You can shoot those just about anywhere without getting into too much trouble! Put in some sharp bird killer pellets and go to town! No one would hear much of where the shots were coming from.
I swear it’s like the good old country kids have vanished off the face of the US. If I was over there on the east Coast I’d be having a shooting gallery with a few friends in an abandoned wharf building taking down the small drones. 😂😂
lol I like the way you think bob ( insert sling blade voice here)
Am I the only one who noticed the first one was built from off the shelf parts? Not that I am cool like that but it gives me hope if we have entered the Terminator part of this crazy parody movie
Would paintball guns reach them? Could that gum up the gears or mess up propellers?
I have a neighbor who showed me how powerful pellet guns can be & I wouldn't risk being shot in my skull by it within 20 yards. He was able to get through 3/8 plywood with the thing. Not sure if he modded it or not, though it was surprising how much power it had. I would imagine that would cripple those drones at the very least.
I've read that the drones are about 1000ft high; well above paintball height or any lower-power gun, even shotguns (except perhaps a shotgun shotting slug rounds)

The drones of concern are pretty huge in comparison to the "hobby" drones a bb gun could possibly take out.

This crosses my mind 5x every day. Wouldn’t it be harder to detect where the pellet came from? Though a pellet vs. an SUV sized drone?
Yep. You can mess up a drone with a high powered close range pellet gun. And they’re pretty quiet too.
