We used law enforcement ranges and fired at Department-owned drones. We fired with shotguns (12 gauge 00 Buck), .308, .223, and a specialized round that opened up with a net. Even our best shooters were unable to strike a moving drone.
The variables with distance, height, and angles made the shots almost impossible.
We also printed 3D 40mm ordnance-dropping devices that attached to drones, similar to what is being used in Ukraine, to drop inert explosives over targets. It was scary how simple it was to do and how devastating the results could be.
I fear that it is only a matter of time before it becomes an issue in the US.
