Do they? I have an old and basic Mavic Air, but I can't imagine the skill it would require to shoot it down with a rifle if it's moving high up in the air.
It's difficult enough to even spot it.
I'm sure they do get shot down sometimes, but 'often' enough for it to be a problem?
- tyingq 3y agoI'm not sure what happens in real world drone shoot down attempts, but I read the specs, and the Mavic supposedely tops out around 40mph. Certainly hunters have had enough luck shooting ducks and other waterfowl with similar speed. Albeit with shotguns.
- yreg 3y agoTo be fair, ducks don't maneuver the way a drone can.
- Ancapistani 3y agoYour average duck is far more maneuverable than a Mavic.
- yreg 3y agoSince when do ducks fly to the side? Or vertically?
