It's really being used for education now, given the ability to program it for autonomous flight using block coding. It's still a fun little drone!
There's a good video somewhere testing different loads against common drone materials. As I recall larger birdshot/smaller buck was the sweet spot for damage and a usable shot cloud. I'd go with lead
good call. looks like it might’ve changed course straight into the trees after the first shot. defo was some sort of suicide drone based on the explosion
Others pointed out that it's common for thin fiber optic lines to be used to control drones in the battlefield. The line could have been severed or it exceeded the length of the line. If it was radio,
Cool video and all but I just can't understand from ANY perspective why you as the driver would stop and get out of the vehicle knowing theres a drone on your tail???
interesting. i thought the goal was to hit the rotors on them? looks like it might’ve hit the tree and detonated tbh but bad ass regardless. also, assuming birdshot is the way to go for drones? i kno
Sorry to be a debbie downer, but most of my fpv drones cruise around 60mph. Top out over 100mph, no altitude or gap squeezing limits outside of battery life. No clue why the quad in this video was bei
Hobby fpv drones are unladen. Insert Monty Python jokes here, but it’s hard to go fast and maneuver with a heavy payload, even if they’re larger. Not that it’s easy to shoot something that small going
I can't remember who said it but they said that drone warfare has now made a need for a belt fed automatic shotgun and personally I can't wait lol
they make a net gun for taking out drones statring at $500. it just launches a net using a O2 charger. netguns.com
That sounds like such a dumb idea. Have to carry around a likely very large and heavy device only meant to be used for 1 purpose. Have to stock and store O2 tanks and (likely) unique net ammunition
Pretty damn cool but what if the pilot never regained control and it slammed into the ground. Lots of people down there. This is worst case scenario, but still possible.
Unless they went through the proper channels, this would be suuupper illegal and dangerous
The DJ is ALOk, from Brazil, he hired the drone guy
