neidu2 @feddit.nl Seriously, though... 12 gauge gatling gun with choke tubes. Any reason why it wouldn't work?
29 0 ReplyInvertedParallax @lemm.ee The only reason is that you need to have a platform every 5 feet or so.
Nobody is saying you can't take a drone out, they're saying you can't use SAMs from 30 miles away (affordably, I'm not made of money, unless I'm the DoD) so you need a ton more platforms.

Technically the Skynex Oerlikon (Rheinmetall) can shoot a similar type of ammunition. So its not really different.

billwashere @lemmy.world Wonder if you loaded shotgun shells with fishing line. You just have to take out one prop.
7 0 Replybradorsomething @ttrpg.network Confetti is actually a researched tactic.
As a bonus it can also reveal the gender of the drone.
