I've got an idea for your next video: what's the best gun to defend yourself against FPV drones ? This question has become a hot topic since the war in Ukraine. It seems that troops are not equipped with appropriate weapons to shoot at drones or falling bombs. It would be interesting to test this by asking a friend to try to approach you with a drone while you try to shoot it down before it gets too close. It would be interesting to see which weapon is better and how difficult it is to destroy small drones.
