Anyway, please stay safe and don’t be afraid to defend yourself.

    Anyone who thinks they stand a chance against drones with a gun hasn’t been paying attention to what’s happening in Ukraine.

    Gonna pew pew a CEO in the back? Sure, guns work for that.

    Trying to save your own life against a fast and agile target that needs way less precision than you to be effective and probably never even presents a target? Nah mate, you’re fucked.

      There are some, handheld firearms that are used as a last-ditch / cheap anti drone solution in Ukraine, by both sides.

      Drum roll…

      https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2024/analysis-shotguns-emerge-as-a-frontline-defense-against-drones-in-evolving-military-and-security-tactics

      Its shotguns.

      Because they have a spread of multiple shot pellets instead of a single bullet.

      Fucking obviously duh, they’ve been used to hunt small, evasive birds routinely, everywhere, for like 150+ years.

      Hunting a nimble flying object with a sniper rifle is a laughably absurd idea.

      This actual post from this woman is so stupid I would have thought it was from a 12 year old whose only experience with guns is from CoD… but nope, its a 50ish(?) year old woman.

      Guess she’s never hunted birds, and thinks its just the same as hunting deer or hogs or something???
