why not good patterning with birdshit

less coverage of area

>>65227393
they're joining all the projectiles together which reduces coverage and makes the whole thing miss if it pulls to one side. just pack like 6-10 pairs of counterweights. or maybe a few triples
>>
>>65227309
How would the FPV fire ball-and-chain bolas to stop ziggers from running? Seems like a lot of weight for too little gain.
>>
>>65227433
ziggies aren't the only ones getting FPV'd and not all of them run. plenty of videos of guys trying and failing to shoot down FPVs, both russian and Ukrainian. kikes are experiencing a dose of this too now.

I think the optimal anti-FPV shot would be a stack of pairs of counterweights. not one big spider as in >>65227393 because the whole thing pulls to one side, but a bunch of pairs. the ropes between the weights sweep a much larger volume of space and have a much higher chance of intersecting an immediately critical component of the FPV such as the rotors than a simple point-spread of birdshot
>>
>>65227309
All those things are very effective at their respective jobs, i don't know what you're on about
>>

>think the optimal anti-FPV shot would be a stack of pairs of counterweights
I see a possible problem that they would tangle into one web anyway.
Probably you can use different weights, and stack them heavy first, lighter behind, maybe it will separate them in flight, or may be not.

there is a reason those getting minced by drones either have shitty situational awarness(vehicles) or are conscripts

you have zero sense of speed to suggest that would work

retard, how much area do you think is covered by that bolo?

>line up several black powder cannons with grapeshot to shoot down drones
why wouldn't this work?
>>
>>65228858
more than what is covered by a couple point projectiles

you need to model this as the area in which a propeller hub could be and have one of the blades intersect the bolo. many times greater than birdshot.
>>65227581
you need to put some sort of padding between them, maybe separate them out radially with a sabot.

>>65228858
>>65228854
what is needed is something like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjv3RkdUC-4

but packed with a larger number of bolos. maybe like 6. arrange them string first, with a counterweight shape that encourages them to catch the air, around a central barrier of some sort.

the goal of an anti-drone round is to create as much denied volume for drone proplellers as possible. a string simultaneously denies a much greater segment of the drone's configuration space than a ball projectile because it sweeps a surface-like manifold rather than a line like one.

you don't need a ton of momentum or kinetic energy to snap a rotor and veer the drone off course. a larger bore like a 10 gauge could also be helpful here. the goal is to sweep the greatest possible denied volume with every single shot.
>>65227591
that's a very lucky shot.
>>
>>65228926
killing a drone has different geometry than killing a bird, retard. there are only a few places that will result in a mission kill, namely the rotors and perhaps the camera or some electronics (much more difficult to immediately disable)
>>
>>65228949
ok, draw a drone over that bird in a way where none of the rotors or the camera get hit with a pellet

you wont hit it with a bolo either

Jesus Christ there's already a whole rabbithole of autism around shotgun shot, chokes and patterns, we know what the best ammo is for hitting stuff in the air
>>65228949
Or the big ass battery, or the fiber optic spool, or the motherboard, or any of the wiring to the rotors... bird shot is more likely to actually hit all of it. Bolos suck at everything, the balls are just as likely to reach the drone in line with each other as they are to reach it in parallel, and you wouldn't be able to shoot a predictable pattern with multiple bolos as each pair will have completely erratic relationships with each other.

The best a normal shotgun can do against drones is tungsten turkey ammo.
