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.

For your consideration.
I doubt any shotgun load would have enough range for drones.
April Fool!
Lead free! I think we have the answer to California’s proposed lead ban!
April fools anyone?
Better to build yourself a punt gun, like 4 gauge, make the loads of shot connected by steel cable.
I hope some politicians makes a fool out of themselves with this, the same way as Home Boy Nite Sights.
Speaking as an old Navy Fire Control Technician who has shot a lot of 5”38 rounds, I doubt that a shotgun would reach a drone. I must say that I do not know the altitude that an operational drone flies at. One also needs to figure out how much to lead it.
April First! Then the others.
Aww! You spoiled it already!
At last, the solution to my problem! When I’m free-falling through a formation of drones with a smoking pistol in either hand, there’s no good way to reload. I mean, sure, I could put 30-round magazines on my Webley-Vickers, but those might be illegal soon.
That was such a wonderful web site. I miss those guys.
Marketing gimmick, just like the zombie rounds.
D’oh! I got took.
Too bad that all govt drones (not COT toys) operate above audible and visual range from the ground. Much less shotgun or even rifle range.
(read that somewhere)
A Predator MQ-1 has a service ceiling of 25,000 feet, a range of 675 nautical miles.
You’d need one hell of a shotgun to take that out. The AGM-114 Hellfire has a range of about 5 miles, and travels at Mach 1.3. 20 pound high-explosive warhead.
You’re gonna need a bigger shotgun.
It would probably be more plausible to jam UAV’s using ‘spark gap’ methods.
Just as the best platform to take out an airplane is another airplane, and the best platform to take out a tank is another tank, anti-drone drones are going to be the ticket. I’m sure there plenty of them under development in various military R&D labs.
For now. They are scaling down to drones of much smaller sizes and utility.
