I was thinking the same and already have 3" magnums with bb and 4 shot. And really don't care how bad the drone gets damaged. I see this area has a reward for information leading to the capture of the person or persons flying them around houses from dusk till dawn.

[@yuvgotubekidding]

Damage to just one propeller will incapacitate a drone. Yes a birdshot would probably be the best way. Way cheaper.

[@timmooney7528]

Even with birdshot, you have to be conscious of what is behind the target. In an urban area there's a chance of hitting buildings and windows with shot, and even other people.

[@triynizzles]

I have been flying drones for years now. everything from $30 toys, $1000 photography drones, and custom built race drones. propellers are so fragile on these drones. the slightest imbalance in a propeller with cause vibrations that can throw off all the onboard censors. so even though these skynet rounds are slow and do little damage. a string cought in one of the motors can slow the propeller enough to crash the drone. the purpose of these round wouldn't be to destroy the drone, just disable it. the range of these rounds is way to short to really be practical but I believe these to be very effective at doing their intended purpose.

[@taofledermaus]

It seems highly unlikely a quadcopter is going to get close enough (25 yards) to you that you'd hit them with these Skynet rounds. Even if the drone is hovering 30 or 40 yards away you'd have to take many shots before you got lucky and hit it.

[@nunyabitnezz2709]

Exactly

[@ResilienceOnPurpose]

More effective than birdshot though? Or the 28 rounds of birdshot you can buy at the cost of just one of these?

It’s unacceptable to spy on someone. Funny things though, you are entitled to privacy but you don’t own the airspace above your land. You are not legally allowed to shoot a drone down, you will be paying should it go to court. Between $30 to thousands of dollars. But in short just fly respectfully.

[@TheShmeebitdog]

@@c_labb9247 depends on the state you live in my state has had issues in the past with people flying drones at night and harassing entire towns pointing lasers in peoples homes so now they have a law that if a drone is over your property without permission you are authorized to shoot it down

As a drone pilot I can tell you the danger of this round is the string snagging the props preventing them from turning... The goal is not to damage the drone but to stop it from being able to fly

[@kf4293]

Depends. A lot of these birds have a gyro. Tipping them won't knock them down. Damage a prop on a quad though, by removing a blade completely, and it's coming down. 😂

[@sierraecho884]

This is absolutely wrong, you can hit the drone, as long as the arm does not brake off the motors stops spinning or the prop doesn´t breaks it keeps flying. It´s mostly plastic housing, hitting the electronic is super difficult, only if you get lucky. The drone itself is tiny, thus the tring to cath in the props and bring it down.

[@HikaruKatayamma]

In a test with a live drone, the rounds would have fouled the props, bringing the drone down. They aren't designed to destroy the drone.

[@taofledermaus]

True, but we can't afford to damage a real, quality drone, can't fly one that close to a naval airbase, and it's almost impossible to frame and focus a high speed camera on a moving object. We were mostly testing the ballistics of these rounds and testing them on easy to hit targets, eliminating a lot of wasted shots. (we only had 6 rounds to test)

"Arial trespassing". Seems quite suspect to me. Even if they meant "aerial trespassing", you're not allowed to shoot stuff that crosses your property line (e.g. passenger aircraft).

[@kirkboswell2575]

Crossing your property in the air is one thing. Most people won't object to that, and if you are talking about an airplane, it's a moot point anyway. What people are objecting to, and rightfully so, are the "spy" drones. Flying over someone's property slowly and with camera running. The first case I was aware of was a father who shot down a drone with a shotgun. The drone was spying on his daughter who was sunbathing in the backyard. Full privacy fencing, etc. No question but that it was an attempt to get illicit pictures. The owners complained to the police that someone shot their drone. The father met the police in his driveway and told them the drone was trespassing. Long story short, the drone owners got in trouble, but they were trying to spin things the other way.

[@taofledermaus]

You still have to hit it. We were barely able to his a stationary target with these at only 25 yards

[@lethalinflection]

I feel like it's supposed to disable the drone so that it can be recovered. Say that they are spying with it & it is a security issue, you want to recover that drone & find what data you can salvage from it. Blowing it into smithereens will destroy the unit completely. Recovering it intact might provide useful information such as finger prints & possibly video they were attempting to gather. I'm assuming drones have onboard storage that could be accessible by law enforcement or whatever security force seeking to take it down. I expected the cords to be much stronger & able to function as a 5-headed bola.

I know this video is a year old...but to be clear - Since 2016 the FAA considers shooting at a drone the same as shooting at a manned aircraft - IT'S A FELONY! Does not matter if it is 'trespassing' on your property (which it isn't - you don't own airspace).

[@amonamath0]

Its actually a federal offense.

Even if were legal to shoot down a drone- legally, you can fly a drone up to 400 feet in the US without special permits and such, you would be hard pressed to even see a drone that's 400 feet above you sitting still, let alone hit it with anything. It would be next to impossible if it were moving. A challenge only 22plinkster can live up to.

It would probably work a lot better on an actual drone with spinning propellers, probably wouldn't need much to interrupt and knock one down. That doesn't change the fact that birdshot is just as good, and actually probably way better since you can actually aim it. Love the Final Countdown music lol.

If I had an "Arial tresspasser" wouldn't either birdshot or a combination with some magnesium and/or thermite work best.

@Yankee Gohome I would shoot one down to. But according to our government and the FAA air space above the trees is not considered private property or you property at all. It is classified as the same as if an airplane flew over your house and you shot at it. And to answer your question we still have rights but the way our country witch I love and would die for our rights are being stripped away or trying to be stipped away on a daily basis. Our 2nd and 4th amendments are under attack. Mainly cause this new generation is a bunch off pussys. Aside from a few who actually care and do something. And I wouldnt use over priced ammo if I'm taking it down it's going down to ammo that really works and is much cheaper. I have plenty to choose from.

[@tristuscassius7245]

I agree with Dylan. The round is designed to entangle the rotors with the string to shut down the drones ability to fly and not to destroy the drone.

Works pretty well, the spread is better than the regular 12 gauge at close distance but the spread stays consistens due to the string. Works better than I would have thought. These guys in the video here assume that you have to damage the drone with it, but you just have to catch the propellor is one of the strings.

First you have to ask is this round meant to damage the drone or is it meant bring a drone down? To me this look like a round to bring the drone down by getting the string caught in the rapidly spinning propellers. The props get tangled up and stop spinning and and the drone drops from the sky.

As a guy who has taken the time and trouble to get a commercial FAA license to pilot small unmanned aircraft systems, I'm glad to hear you explain that it is illegal to shoot them down. If anybody gets caught shooting at our fire department's aircraft while we're flying a mission, they will face SIGNIFICANT criminal charges, and probably face a devastating civil suit which would no doubt be filed by the family of whoever we're trying to rescue. "Know your target..."

[@JoshuaNicoll]

I don't think you need to damage the drone really, hitting it would probably knock it off balance and cause it to drive uncontrollably, I'd really like to see it against a flying drone, but that's a lot of money.

I'm too poor to afford to shoot a GOOD drone, and it was too windy to fly a cheap one.

[@volksrod6926]

Joshua Nicoll even a cheap drone would easily stabilize. I got a cheap $99 one from Wal-Mart. you can give it a pretty good nudge and the gyro works it's magic. A higher end one that some one spying on you would ideally use would be able to brush it off, given the blades and internal is undamaged. I do have a pretty nice one, it's really impressive how stable they are.

[@minigunuser25]

Many drones can self stabilize, even in windy conditions, I doubt it will make it lose balance enough to take down anything other than a tiny ass little toy drone

[@richardtroell6407]

Is it supposed to be doing catastrophic damage or just entangling the rotors and dropping the drone by de-powering it on one or more arms? When I used to clear brush in south Texas, I was sometimes confronted with angry wasps. Wasp spray was a joke trying to lead and hit those buggers whipping around you and you ended up still getting stung. I ran out one day and on the way to the field the next day I stopped for fuel and the only thing they had was a Scott's yard fogger, so I grabbed one thinking it was "better than nothing." Sure enough I hit a Juisach with a big nest in it and literally four or five blasts from the yard fogger dropped every wasp instantly. It turned our the yard fogger came out as a wide dispensing foam mist and it just stuck to the wasp's wings as it flew through the cloud dropping it instantly. I never got stung again and carried it religiously. So, the question I have, is is this intended to destroy or merely disable, and for that your static test would not test or reveal.

[@tomasnedela6782]

I think that the point of this shoot is working differently from what you tested them... Might be, that you need to make contact with drone only with those strings to snare and not damage it at longer ranges where that shot travels slower - like throwing a net over it. Maybe the short range was countering the effect. But it was fun to watch as always TAO crew 😎

[@pmgodfrey]

Just so you know, per the FAA, it is a federal crime to shoot at model aircraft. Just let people enjoy their toys. That being said, most people don't fly their multirotors around like morons... A vast majority of us who have been into modeling for decades respect the privacy of others and understand the laws that govern our hobby...and we too get frustrated by people who fly like idiots.

[@DFX2KX]

Yeahhh. Even when the people flying them bought them to be shot at. (we used to get those cheap foam gliders, stick really cheap servos on them, and then pelt them with airsoft/pellet guns, and on calm days, tried to do so with Estes rockets. The cops came out when we managed to hit one of them with said rocket.) (icidentally, two servos and extra balsa fins at the front of an Alpha II makes for a helluva time...)

[@JL-dance]

The Dread Pirate Clancy by your logic an airplane flying over your house gives you reason to shoot it down, crazy fuck.

[@JL-dance]

The Dread Pirate Clancy twelge gauges have a pretty long reach if used correctly, and some single engine pilots like to fly low to the ground, so please elaborate on how close you believe your “air” to be your property (hint, military drones can see you with infrared cameras from the distance of a plane flying at almost cruising altitude)

[@klr650nky8]

Not at the height my drone can fly... Even 3 1/2 magnum rounds out of a goose gun would have difficultly. Especially at altitude and it moving....

[@IRONHEAD12701]

KLR650nKY 3 1/2 mag is still good for 75 yds (225ft.) after that a good scope will work.

[@klr650nky8]

And learning to lead the target is still a big part of the equation. Not too many can hit something on the move consistently, without proper practice... And drones can legally fly up to 133 yards (400 feet); a long shot to take geese legally with the 3 1/2 mag is about 75 to 80 yards, and some idiots do try to take them as far away as 95 yards since they can't learn how to camo the blind or get the decoys to work better.. So still not enough to reach most of them, and again learning to lead that small moving target at altitude, still have little chance of shooting it down. even with a scope and a high power rifle, have you done much shooting at those ranges, fighting gravity and every other environmental factor that would be fighting you? I doubt it. And hopefully you don't get caught since most drones have air to ground video feeds and the location of your shot will be pretty close to where the drone may drop out of the sky... Do you really want the FAA coming after you over something as silly as shooting an aircraft down? Talk about domestic terrorism...

[@GordieGii]

That "little piece of string" would have wrapped around the prop and severely impaired the drones ability to fly. It doesn't necessarily need to damage the drone through inertia, just tangle the props. One tactic I've heard of is a shell full of twist ties. I also thought a shell full of micro bolas might work. Any way to maximize the chances of tangling a prop.
