Years of research and development have gone into these highly effective 12 gauge shells that can turn even Joe Biden’s double barrel shotgun into an instant anti-aircraft platform. Specially formulated propellant is capable of launching 9 pellets of depleted uranium rounds up to 1 km straight up into the air. With accurate shot placement, this armor piercing buckshot will disable vital systems on modern military drones. At minimum, the force of impact will disable navigation systems, but in over 60% of our field tests, the drones were incapable of remaining airborne after contact with our Anti-Drone Loads.

During WWII my father was an armorer and serviced Quad 50’s and Bofors. Quad 50’s were pretty good anti-aircraft weapons.
They would not be effective for the drones, unless the operator used bad judgement and flew low and slow. hee hee hee

When I was in the first or maybe second grade at Springfield Elementary in Panama City, our entire class got to visit a ship at the Navy base.
I am not sure if it was a Coast Guard cutter or maybe a Navy ship but I got to sit at the controls of a double barreled cannon. A sailor showed us the 3 round clips of shells they would dump in a hopper.
To me these were huge cannons tho I realize now they were pretty small. I do remember that even a six year old could spin the guns around with no trouble. Almost no effort required to move them.
I later worked with a couple of old Federal agents who were in the Navy in WWII. They told me they were Bofors guns and obviously anti-aircraft.
I wonder if kids of today get to have such fun at school. This would have been around 1953.
1 ga.!
I hear DHS put in an order for 60 million shells.
I’m getting 5 boxes for my Mossberg 590 today!
Does it come in .45 ACP for my Glock 1911? :-)

I was thinking helium balloons and nylon fishing line.
LOL!!
I am still trying to figure out if we just got conned.
I sort of think we did.
Uh, what other gauges is it made in?
Darpa has been busy. With a 1.8 gigapixel camera system in a Predator they can watch from 17,500ft with resolution to at least 6”. You would need a SAM to hit that.
hmmm...
for your april fools day consideration....
Go to the local hobby shop and buy some rockets to shoot them down.
For ping’s sake.
Then... what we really need is some 'drone bait'.
Heh, I really dig the “armor-piercing buckshot.”
