RWS now offers 7.62x51 anti-drone ammunition. Seems to me it is intended for use in a mini gun. NEW: RWS Ammunition URBAN DRONE DEFENCE (UDD): Effective Drone Defence in Urban Areas: RWS Technology
Need to shoot down a pesky drone?

Birdshot works quite well.....so a friend told me......
I believe our neighbors in Idaho passed a law that allows the downing of a drone as long as it is over your property and you are shooting within legal limits. Considering the distances between some neighbors of friends of mine that live in Idaho, they are pretty much good to go from just about anyplace in their yard especially with magnum 12 gauge 2's or 4's. Pull!
Texas is talking about enacting a similar law, but it is still a violation of federal law which does not distinguish between shooting down manned or unmanned aircraft.
I believe the FAA has a Federal law about shooting down a drone. The penalty is up to 20 years in Federal prison.

I heard of an incident where a fly fisherman was casting on the Chattahoochee River and a drone flew in behind him and basically into the line. It went down and got snagged, and the line was cut by the fisherman after a nasty encounter with the drone pilot. That of course was not an intentional snag.

We must have the same friend....
Here in the city we're not allowed to even shoot BB guns!
The realtors' photographers use them for taking overhead shots of the properties for sale.

Marijuana is illegal on the federal level too.

Interesting. For those not wanting to take the time to pull up the article, the munition is intended for use in urban areas out of "high cadence" anti-aircraft machineguns; two loads available, both using polymer bullets; one weighing 15 grains and intended for use within 100 meters, the other weighing 45 grains for targets within 300 meters. The idea is to minimize collateral damage from falling, heavier projectiles. Says for use against DIY and commercial drones(but not military?) And, oh yeah, SINTOX primed to reduce those pesky lead emissions, AND x-ray detectible, so don't try to sneak a belt aboard a commercial aircraft.

At the Washington's Crossing reenactment last Christmas I saw a drone hovering over me, raised my Pennsylvania rifle, it took off PDQ.
Occurs to me some sort of false feed would defeat a drone. Recall episodes of The Green Hornet and Mission: Impossible where the heroes used false feeds on CCTV to fool the villains.

You know some redneck is gonna take this to "hillbilly extreme" and put a quad mount of semi auto 12 GAs in the back of an F-350 on 44s. A Tennessee Technical, if you will.
Yep, so shooting down a drone while you're toking on a doobie could have some serious consequences!
Get a signal jammer idk
Oh, to have money to burn.
12 Gauge: SKYNET™ Mi-5
Other than discharging a firearm within city limits I'm curious of the legality of such but since I have no plans I also don't care.
