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. 🤷🏼♂️
They have to land eventually
Betcha it can't outrun .410 or .22lr.
.22lr suppresses real well.
Or paintballs, at a closer range.
Just think of em as ManHacks.
You ain't hitting that thing at 2000'.
Spray and pray.
Hitting a drone with a subsonic suppressed .22 would be challenging, to say the least.
Especially at speed. 🤪
I'm presuming they hover in place as part of their flight pattern, but yeah, it would take a pretty good shot, a pretty good marksman, otherwise.
I've been wondering if using jamming software paired with a directional antenna on it like a Yagi would be effective against these
GNURadio is software defined radio. This is unrelated to jamming question.
