I'm wondering if hobby style weapons like bb or paintball guns would take down the drone. If that would work, then are there any laws against you shooting a bb/paintball gun in your backyard? Similarly, if someone is flying a kite and it is over your backyard and you shoot the kite with a bb gun enough to bring it down, what would the police do? Is a kite any different than a drone, legally speaking?
