MODERATORS
Betcha it can't outrun .410 or .22lr.
.22lr suppresses real well.
Or paintballs, at a closer range.
Just think of em as ManHacks.
Hitting a drone with a subsonic suppressed .22 would be challenging, to say the least.
I'm presuming they hover in place as part of their flight pattern, but yeah, it would take a pretty good shot, a pretty good marksman, otherwise.
Especially at speed. 🤪
