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.

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.

Street price of the 1911 Gen4 is anticipated to be around $800, undercutting the upcoming Heckler and Koch 1911 by a hefty $2,300.

LOL!!

While these are amusing and in jest, Google Argus+Predator.

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.

Go to the local hobby shop and buy some rockets to shoot them down.

I doubt any shotgun load would have enough range for drones.

Then... what we really need is some 'drone bait'.
