Its raining buckshot
HALLELUJAH!
The classic denying of aerial superiority through oversaturation of the environment with projectiles, also known as pray & spray.
I thought it was spray first, pray second
Seems more like a short term solution unless you have a huge ammo budget.
Then we will drone in the shade.

Seriously, though… 12 gauge gatling gun with choke tubes. Any reason why it wouldn’t work?
The only reason is that you need to have a platform every 5 feet or so.
Nobody is saying you can’t take a drone out, they’re saying you can’t use SAMs from 30 miles away (affordably, I’m not made of money, unless I’m the DoD) so you need a ton more platforms.
Barrel wear will be crazy. As will heat generation.
I mean, it works in Battletech.
Hold out until the quad-mounted 50 cal is brought back.
Is this essentially different to the current use of the FlAK-Panzer Gepard / SPAAG Cheetah in Ukraine?
Technically the Skynex Oerlikon (Rheinmetall) can shoot a similar type of ammunition. So its not really different.
I know it does, that’s why I was curious about the novelty of that approach.
Wonder if you loaded shotgun shells with fishing line. You just have to take out one prop.
I wonder if Taofledermaus have done this?
That is a good question.
Confetti is actually a researched tactic.
As a bonus it can also reveal the gender of the drone.
Ok now I’m just picturing a drone with truck nuts. Thanks for that 😅
What about a fence made of balloons and fishing line
🤷… seems plausible.
The era of barrage balloons returns!
The return of the giant punt gun!
I do this in Battlefield. Works like a charm.
