Get a pellet gun and shoot them down. You'll find out quickly who is doing it when they trespass on your property to retrieve their downed hardware.
Tell me you're American without telling me you're American lol.
Not a bad idea overall, but not a great first idea either
He said pellet gun, not roof mounted anti-air guns
Pellet guns are harmful and maybe deadly to us, but we're soft. Only an american would be so gun minded but insufficiently informed to think that nobody has any guns, especially the hunting rifle you'd need, powerfully enough to do anything other than crack a lense if you're lucky. The gun propaganda here doesn't want to share than most europeans are able to responsibly own certain firearms if they want to meet the requirements.
Wat
LOL WUT?
It was a fucking joke lol.
Wtf are you talking about?
Lol, I was just thinking this would be a problem for about 5 min before some asshole shot at it. I always thought it was hilarious when people talked about delivery drones.
Except, as we’ve found in this thread, Germany is cool with shooting down drones over your property but the US is not.
No, ignore this. Never shoot guns into the air, it's both dangerous and stupid.
Unless it's a shotgun firing birdshot. This is why in many places you can hunt birds, it's really the only type of firearm you're allowed to use, because when shot at an upward trajectory, the pellets do not maintain enough velocity to be harmful when coming down and harmlessly fall to the ground. Anything rifled though is a different story, because its that spin on a bullet or a slug which allows the projectile to maintain its velocity and be dangerous when coming back down.
Sure, but most people probably don't know that detail. Hunters probably do, but for your average dumbass a simple "don't shoot any guns into the air" rule is probably for the best.
True but it also depends on where you go. In Canada for example, this detail is explicitly taught to anyone who goes through the process of getting a firearms license.
Someone manufactures anti-drone shells for shotguns. No idea how they're supposed to work (of if they do), just thought it was interesting.
That is interesting, I'm curious what the payload is.
Pellet gun, that travels like 100m at most.
I guess that's fine if you live on a large isolated property. Where I am, the neighbor's house is like 3.5m away.
If you shoot a pellet gun into the air and it lands on your neighbour's property, it will do less damage than hail pellet.
Yeah that's why I use Fireworks
