Shotguns are ineffective against drones more than 100ish yards away. ISR drones commonly work well beyond this distance. Shotguns are also ineffective against FPV drones because their high speed demands marksmanship and fast reflexes in order to hit them. Shotguns don’t work against any of them in the dark because you can’t see them.

So the take-a-way here is that we need to shrink Patriot Batteries down to fit in a backpack and make 100,000 units so we an assign them at the platoon level.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Wrong.

Bigger shotguns.

@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

Still can’t see in the dark. That’s why we need backpack patriot batteries.

No, you misunderstand. BIGGER shotguns.

redisdead ,

Don’t need to see in the dark if you fill the entire sky with shotgun pellets

vaultdweller013 ,

You need to think bigger, rods of god buckshot.

ShaggySnacks ,

I’m pretty impressed - God

How big would a tungsten ball need to be to survive reentry?

Anticorp ,

Bigger shotguns with infrared sights.

Tar_alcaran ,

Sure a buckshot works great against a drone or two, but what do you do when there’s a swarm of them? We’re getting to that level of sophistication with them pretty quickly.

snooggums ,

Mounted automatic shotgun versions of antiaircraft guns.

Telodzrum ,

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you invented a flak cannon

snooggums ,

I thought flak cannons were airburst!

Sometimes you just need a little more gun.

IIRC that was truely noncredible IRL, and couldn’t get funding.

9tr6gyp3 ,

Well then you need a swarm of shotguns, obviously.

SomeAmateur ,

Shotgun CWIS, obviously

CanadaPlus , (edited )

You either need more guns or more range, I guess. Swarming the other guy first is also an option, or sending drones after the drones, although you lose any cost advantage that way.

I know the is NCD, but it sounds like the professional military thinkers are expecting things to keep shifting towards emphasis on mobility and concealment, just because the post-identification kill chain is getting so foolproof.

Anticorp ,

You use a swarm of shotguns!

boatsnhos931 ,

Better ask somebody

gibmiser ,

Sounds cool. Gimmi some sauce on shotgun takedowns

Skua ,

Even better: shotgun takedowns from a plane flying with the canopy open https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/06/29/ukraines-world-war-i-style-dogfighters-have-shot-down-more-russian-drones/

Is a shotgun really only $200?

Rakonat ,

Depends on the model and store you buy it from, but you definitely can buy some hunting shotguns in the 200-250USD range.

IMongoose ,

I haven’t looked in a while but you could get used Remington 870s (an extremely popular shotgun) for around $200 all day on armslist.

Lawnman23 ,

www.fleetfarm.com/detail/…/0000000066934?bc=10276…

Yep.

Anticorp ,

That 88 is an amazing shotgun for the money too. It has interchangeable barrels, so you can use an 18" barrel for home defense, and even add a pistol grip for that config if you want, then it has a long, vented, hunting barrel, with threaded interchangeable chokes that accept anything made for the Browning Invictor choke. You can take the hunting plug out of the shell tube and hold up to six shells. They’re reliable, lightweight, accurate, powerful, and have pretty good recoil pads. They’re made by Mossberg in the Mossberg factory. Oh, and like we were saying, they’re dirt cheap!

letme_meowmeow ,

A slingshot will work tooo. Let’s try it.

veroxii ,

So pretty credible?

mindbleach ,

I’m so disappointed that we finally got these enormous sci-fi “electric rifles” and all they do is make RC toys land safely.

Etterra ,

I could, and did.

Maggoty ,

Skeet shooting coming to a military base near you!

I’m probably on the right place to ask:

Has anybody tried party poppers?
