I fancy this statement. We, as hunters, whatever gun related, too need to adopt this platform & not retreat in seclusion practicing our >>Dastardly<< Sport.

I expanded the view of the load details on one of the AntiDrone loads. It is an 89 gram payload. That's 3.14 ounces. Sounds like a "nose-bleeder" to me.

That could be it, Tom. The picture wasn't really clear when I enlarged it. That could have been length, not payload.

Stanton, 89 is the length.
It’s to the right of the “12 gauge” descriptor on the box.
The other pic shows 70mm , which , when divided by 25.4 mm/inch, is a standard 2.75” cartridge.
The box artwork is excellent, IMO. I like how the drone gets more advanced with the stouter load.

3 ounces of lead is market-hunter territory out of a small punt gun.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Sadly there is a serious purpose to this stuff in their Tactical range.

Recently a tanker was attacked in the Gulf by a drone that dropped bombs which killed 2 crew members.

The usual suspects have not claimed responsibility thus far.

In those circumstances recoil is the least of your worries.

Abrams tanks have an externally mounted M2 and an M240 on a pintle.
I think I’d empty those at a drone before I used my birdgun.

You can get an Ortolan deep fryer in the Abrams for another million bucks. We had a member looking into it a few years ago.

Most rotor platform drones really don't get that high because they just can't fly all that long. So a smaller load can be employed.

Fixed wing platforms usually flat at a height near 120 metres, so a stouter load would be required, but I am not sure just how close to 120 metres a shotgun would reach?

Case law on just how high a property owner owns is 83 feet set by a Federal Case of a chicken farmer in North Carolina I think it was during WWII. As the Big Bombers took off or landed, the noise generated resulted in the chickens sacrificing themselves on the other end of the pen. So he sued and 83 feet was the result.

I didn't know they deep fried Ortolans- a songbird found in Europe and usually in the French Burgundy wine growing regions-- steamed Ortolans are a delicacy, in the same league as truffles and artichoke hearts- Bon Appetit!! Le Reynauld!!
