Dozens of mysterious drones have appeared in the skies over New Jersey in
recent weeks, perplexing state and federal officials and agitating residents.

 
Some of these have been flying low enough that it's a shame no one has
taken one down with a shotgun.

 
Read that the Ukrainians and Russians have taken to issuing shotguns to
their troops, having a specific guy in each squad as a "anti-drone gunner".

Personally I think what's needed, is a modified 40mm grenade round using
a model rocket motor for extended range and maneuverability and some
kinda targeting electronics.

As for the drones here, the quoted article mentions that it's illegal to shoot
down a drone, as they come under federal FAA regulations as aircraft

That doesn't trump the right of self-defense.

"Yes, officer, I shot it because it dived straight toward me and given its
size, it could have really hurt me if it hit me, besides who knows if these
damn things are carrying weapons."
