You don't know anything about guns or electronics, or the relevant laws, or level of police attention they garner, so yeah, sure, just keep imagining you have any idea what you are talking about, that'll work.

Guns are scary arcane sticks that go boom, infinitely complex and unable to be deciphered - better to never touch them or try to understand the physics behind them.

You are correct and I missed the crossfire bit. Never point a ballistic weapon at anyone you don't want to injure or kill.

That acknowledgement out of the way, I think you are trying so hard to win an argument, rather than acknowledge that your initial comment was incorrect, that you have drifted into making yourself look foolish (no hostility intended)

That’s a really good way to kill people.

I think it has been well established that this was incorrect. Birdshot fired at an airborne drone is extremely unlikely to injure anyone, much less kill them.

They already make non ballistic ways to take out drones.

Although technically true, these are not available for civilian purchase and/or are highly illegal to use, so they might as well not exist.

I get that your original reply was well intentioned, but it was ill informed. Hopefully this discussion has helped.

You're right, now find enough instances of crossfire with birdshot that proves this is a regular occurrence and not a freak accident.

Edit: also the issue here is more that I said never. I acknowledge that there are freak accidents that prove exception to the rule.
