Not even 50 cal, a regular old assault rifle will do.
Could you hit a moving drone with a rifle? Even when I shot competitively at 500m, I probably couldn't. You can hit clay pigeons with a shotgun but a drone can easily manoeuvre beyond range.
- Zardoz84 9y agoI think that He was talking about firepower, not about easiness to hit the target. Even, you can strike down a drone throwing a small stone. Other thing is hitting it.
- goldenkey 9y agoRight. And with missiles, missed shots cost a lot of money. With a high powered rifle round that has a relatively straight trajectory -- the cost is miniscule. So firing many times is no problem in the case of minor errors in accuracy. Even a gatling gun could be used -- warthog style.
- azernik 9y agoAs I said: "The problem is hitting the damn things". Please at least read to the second paragraph.
- gaius 9y agoPlease at least read to the second paragraph. If you can't hit it with the weapon what is the point of even mentioning the weapon? You might as well have said you could fight a drone with a baseball bat for all you contributed to this discussion.
- icebraining 9y ago...because it's a reply to a post that mentions the same kind of weapon?
- azernik 9y agoI was replying to someone who claimed a .50 cal could do the job. I was pointing out that firepower wasn't the limiting factor - you could do it with something smaller, but that wouldn't matter. The second paragraph was the main contribution; the first paragraph was a transition from the statement of the person I was replying to.
