Seems sad that the first thing I thought was "bet that would be hard to shoot down" - not sure if that's more of a reflection of me, or the state of affairs. That aside, if you'd told me when I was a teenager in the 90s that a fancy RC helicopter would go faster than an F1 car before I'm even an old man, not sure if I would have believed you, we've come a hell of a long way in drone tech - and that's impressive. Kudos to you drone engineer folks.

- Ancapistani 3y agoBirdshot doesn’t travel far enough to reliably harm a drone flying at even the US-legal maximum of 400’ AGL. The travel distance for #9.5 birdshot is only 700’ - and that’s ground distance covered when fired at optimal angle, not vertical reach.
- lm28469 3y agoThe suicide drones pop a 0' from you, 700' is plenty, even a third would save you. I've seen videos of Russians throwing rocks or magazines at drones, they'd have better odds with shotguns and birdshots
