There's at least a half dozen better calibers for the job but no firearm is a good answer due to the potential of killing someone on the other side of the camera.
Just how bad of a shot can you be that you conclude no firearm is the answer? Plenty of calibers that doesnt over penetrate the equipment itself. Plenty of calibers with a small enough MOA to accurately hit the lens.
Agree completely, I was thinking birdshot, not something for deer.
The reason I mentioned a type of shot gun, is that the distance it remains lethal is short, and if you’re shooting up towards something, it wouldn’t come down lethal like a pistol or rifle round, which could be dangerous for as long as it maintains a ballistic trajectory. But yes, not a wise thing to attempt in all seriousness.
Your self-assessment of your knowledge of firearm safety is a danger to society at large.
