Anyway, please stay safe and don’t be afraid to defend yourself.
Scoped gun for a drone OK yeah, you clearly know what you’re doing.
Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking?

Prone shooting position, check Bipod firmly on the ground, check Aim at drone overhead, shit…

I don’t know anything about shooting or why a scoped gun is a bad thing…I know she won’t shoot down a single drone with that thing though.
turmacar@lemmy.world 3 days ago
A scope limits your field of view. It makes it easier to hit far away things moving relatively slowly/predictably.
It would be the opposite of helpful against a fast/close small target. There’s a reason duck hunters use shotguns.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 3 days ago
$100 says she barely takes that thing past 100 yards…good luck hitting a drone 400+ yards from you moving at 60mph.
DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Please, do NOT shoot at airborn targets, or any target where your are not certain a missed shot will be safe.
IMongoose@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Also shooting down a drone counts as shooting down an actual airplane, which is like, a super felony. So probably just don’t.
DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Also, the drone falling could hit someone or something, but the chances of hitting the drone or whatever it is seems neglidgable.
IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Just fly your own drone and ram into their drone. Then you pull an uno reverse and claim they hit you first. FAA aint touching this, and cops are too lazy to do anything and will say its “Civil Matter”

Yep, that’s why birdshot is basically the only safe ammo that can be shot into the air unless you’re in the middle of the ocean or something.

More on this splendid human being:
In now deleted tweets from 2015, it’s clear Rep. Maddox has always held racist beliefs. In an October 2015 tweet, Maddox responded to someone calling President Barack Obama a “coon” by saying that “Obama is not black. He is of African ancestry, not sharing the Black American heritage or experience.”
In a March 2015 tweet, Maddox said that “childhood sexual assault and neglect” was the reason for homosexuality and that she blamed the parents and LGBTQ people for their sexual preferences.
In a January 2015 tweet she claimed Islam is a “faith about destruction” and that there are no Islamic “hospitals, orphanages or universities.”
She’s a genuine shit-person. 100% real human excrement propped up with modern technology to walk and talk sorta like a real human being!

GovCo owns the drones. The simple fact that they haven’t shot them down means they own them.
This is a distraction. It’s to distract people because for some reason there was a sudden unexpected explosion of class consciousness.
Stop talking about the fucking govt drones. Keep scaring billionaires.

I’m not a gun person, but it seems to me like anyone who claims they can shoot down a drone with a rifle is also revealing themselves to not be a gun person.

I just watched a YouTube video of ukraine drone operators and they had a guy in the middle of a field shoot down 3 fpv drones. They got him eventually but it is possible…
Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Why is that? People have hit more challenging targets. If the drone is stationary then it’s a no brainer easy target.
Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 days ago
The dope has her DOPE taped to the sunshade on her optic, so at least numbers were crunched and she wouldn’t be shooting completely blind.
Tyfud@lemmy.world 3 days ago
All she has in her house are succulents? That makes sense. They’re literally the only things someone like her could possibly hope to keep alive. They need almost zero attention, maintenance, or moisture.
Just like her brain.

She also has a cactus. But the same conditions still apply.

RBWells@lemmy.world 3 days ago
The filter to over-smooth everything and the ridiculously aging roller set hairstyle are making her look like a well maintained 60 year old.
Put the same person in different clothes and a more relaxed hairstyle and she would look completely different. I bet she was elected young and tried to look more mature.
It doesn’t look like anyone cooks in that kitchen either.

Aliens are not attacking.
The drones have hurt no one.
They are paying more attention now.
Perhaps if society kills more CEOs, they will finally consider us sapient and establish contact.

SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago
To be fair, the military bases being buzzed drones thing has been going on for months now, long preceding the assassination of Brian Thompson. Like honestly maybe six months or more, I casually peruse the conspiracy subs, because occasionally they get something half-right. (Like the first I heard of COVID was freakouts about what was happening in China) But yeah, the dozens of drones buzzing military bases has been going on since long before Brian Thompson went down. It’s more that there’s an excuse to focus on it now to draw attention away from the fucked healthcare system.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 days ago
A bit more than a laptop involved, but that’s embarrassing to say the least.
abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago
So there’s a lot of things about these drones being Aliens (and a lot of things about Aliens in general).
If they really are aliens, do you think beings who travelled here through interstellar space and the technology to come to earth within (we assume) a single lifetime are going to be felled by a fucking gun?
I don’t think the Aliens are hostile because if they were, we’d be dead by now.

Anyone who thinks they stand a chance against drones with a gun hasn’t been paying attention to what’s happening in Ukraine.
Gonna pew pew a CEO in the back? Sure, guns work for that.
Trying to save your own life against a fast and agile target that needs way less precision than you to be effective and probably never even presents a target? Nah mate, you’re fucked.
sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
There are some, handheld firearms that are used as a last-ditch / cheap anti drone solution in Ukraine, by both sides.
Drum roll…
armyrecognition.com/…/analysis-shotguns-emerge-as…
Its shotguns.
Because they have a spread of shot instead of a single bullet.
Fucking obviously duh, they’ve been used to hunt small, evasive birds routinely, everywhere, for like 150+ years.
Hunting a nimble flying object with a sniper rifle is a laughably absurd idea.

Shotguns just can’t stop winning
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Ive heard and seen some images and videos of soliders building their own antidrone ammo. They rip the tip off the casing and heat shrink a coulple of bbs together and crimp them to the casing. I’m not certain how legitimate or effective it is but I’ve seen several videos and images of it. They recomend staggering the homemade rounds with tracer rounds to help with aiming.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Using a gun with a 25’ effective range against a device hovering 50’ off the ground sounds not terribly effective, though.
