With other "stuff" in them, like long threads winding up in drone rotors, em bursts, etc.
I'm honestly a bit surprised that some kind of net that can be shot from an under-barrel mounted grenade launcher hasn't been developed/deployed yet. I'm imagining something like a standard 40 mm grenade casing that contains a net that folds out after maybe 50 m (or a programmable distance, or a proximity trigger). Very thin/light strings are enough to take down a drone, so you could probably easily pack a 5 x 5 m or even 10 x 10 m net into a 40 mm casing. People are already shooting at drones with rifles, I would imagine something that lets you shoot out a large net to 100 + meters would make taking down drones a lot easier for an infantryman, and being able to fire it from a standard barrel-mounted grenade launcher would make it very easy to deploy.
I would imagine that this kind of thing could drastically improve the ability of infantry to deal with drones when they are exposed. I'm sure there's a good reason this hasn't been implemented, but I have a hard time figuring out what that reason is.
Same here. I imagine there is probably some thing making it useless, like you just don't have the time to get the "gun" out or even aim, or there are branches everywhere or they'll just drone drop you anyways etc.
What a horror it all is.
