A new Drone Killer Cartridge
(DKC) has been developed by the United States Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Crane Division. The cartridge is designed to greatly increase
the probability of a hit against airborne targets by rifles and machine
guns. The rounds are available in both pelletized (shot shells) and
segmented desigms. The rounds function normally thru unaltered current
weapons. The development was funded by the DHS and the Marine Corps.
Could
turn out to be very useful and low-bucks tools against drones. They
have been tested at Camp Atterbury in Indiana and are said to have a 92%
effective rate. I doubt that is a 92% HIT rate, but an effective rate
if a hit is achieved. Shooting a rifle at moving airborne targets is
not so easy. I know. I have done it, and missed more than I hit.
EDITOR'S NOTE: They may be able to shoot down the backyard variety of drones.
But there's no way they can possibly shoot down a drone like the Iranian Kamikaze drones (pictured above).
