    Eh, in the US it will just be a shotgun.

    I imagine a drone is relatively easy to shoot down with bird shot if it’s not actively attempting to evade you.

      Is that them things they shoot skeet with?

      I agree americans love they guns, but shooting in the air is dangerous and may damage your new air fryer.

        That’s why you use your old rusty barn shotgun with rock salt.

        There are also all sorts of non lethal shotgun rounds if you would rather not corrode your gun.

          That’s for stopping young Bruce Willis, not taking down a drone.

          And storing it in a barn is no excuse to allow a gun to rust.
