I'm really concerned about people trying to harm this cute little drones. What kind of attacks should I watch out for? I would love to know the specific brands and types of tools these heinous drone murderers would use so I can stop them.

    Well, you could start by applying reflective spray to your license plate holder, but accidentally get some all over the plate. It's a challenge not to, FYI. The same can be said of your VIN tag under your windshield. It's really unfortunate how imprecise those reflective sprays are. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    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've been wondering if using jamming software paired with a directional antenna on it like a Yagi would be effective against these
