    You just have to control the rent by buying a gun and shooting in the air every other day.

      Real story. A friend of mine was working on new year’s, maintenance trailer inside a factory. Suddenly a puff of dust. A new hole on the ceiling and at his desk, the line going two feet from his head, and a ~.45 round at the rubberized metal floor.

      Bullets go down about as fast as they go up.

              when I was in the army we were taught roughly how to shoot at a helicopter, but generally the idea was “you have a rifle (not a shotgun), you’re not gonna hit a very fast flying thing, but here’s ROUGHLY how much to anticipate with it if you have to try”.

              If we’re not talking about long-range drones which fly at proper altitudes, and instead something one could even viably shoot at, then we’re talking like 1000 smaller than a helicopter, but with similar speeds. Like the size of the armament on those drones is usually bigger than the drone itself.

              I’m fine with us telling Russians to shoot at them, they’re just gonna be wasting their (already waning) munition.
