In the face of death, the occupiers show their true essence. They throw their helmets hysterically, fight back with automatic weapons, try to escape, but get what they deserve. A forest of EW antennas on the back of one of the occupiers did not help to escape from the "penal sanctions" of the soldiers of the "Rarog" Battalion of the 24th OMBr.

I wasn't saying the drone would move out of the way between the time you line up the target and pull the trigger, but instead that drones move so quickly and unpredictable that you may never get lined up on the target.

Birds are not exactly predictable (depends on the bird, geese fly in a V and are very predictable, but other birds are erratic), but I'm not sure how different they are. Either way, you only need a more or less straight path for about 1 second, and you get multiple shots. Though if the drone is coming at you it still have momentum bringing it to you and shotguns don't have much range.

I could see this working as a reasonable shot with a shotgun - but I could also see how it couldn't and so I want someone in the military to tell me what works. (I'm willing to try on a range if you supply the drones - but at the price of drones I'm not willing to try this myself - and it goes without saying I'm not interested in going to a real battle field with all the other concerns that brings)

Someone should invent an absolutely minimal cost drone for short term flights at a person to practice shooting them down.

I don't want battery toxic waste all over my shooting range (lead is bad enough - I try to use lead free shot).

Meh, use a wire then. A one day class in wiring stuff means the range cadre can keep attaching wires to leads all day long.
