Increasingly, rifles and shotguns would appear to be the last-ditch C-sUAS (counter-small unmanned aerial systems) answer.

It is all getting pretty kinetic in a sort of 21st-century Shooting Clays of Death kinda way.

whole new set of skills needed to shoot down drones.

need to send a whole lot of soldiers to skeet/trap shooting like they did back in WW2. drive around in trucks and shoot down sporting clays to learn gunnery practice for bombers.
