What about when the bullet falls back on the ground?
- spathi_fwiffo 11y agoposter said shot, not bullets: "That said, a shotgun blast up into the air at a hovering drone doesn't pose much risk to anyone else (bullets are a different matter)." If he was using birdshot, there would be no risk to anyone past a few hundred feet. If there was a risk, trap/skeet would not be possible in most of the places where you can shoot it.
