I think bolas (like the gauchos use) would be more fun and challenging. Half the fun would be experimenting with what could give you the distance...bolts...nuts...some rocks duct taped to shoelaces... you could go full MacGuyver with the project.
“I think bolas (like the gauchos use) would be more fun”
Ha! Exactly what I was thinking. You beat me to it.
Naw, I use paint ball gun, reasonable range and accuracy and it is not against the law to use one inside city limits. Drones mostly exhibit a nice stable target and the paint ball only has to hit any part, including just one of the blades. If you miss and the ball hits a neighbors house, no damage, no foul and it washes off with water.
