and yet idiots on here think that firearms are still a meaningful way to defend yourself against a tyrannical government

fpv drones are just a more accurate version of artillery. what effected warfare more, the fact anyone in your sight line could possibly hit you with a bullet? or that a gunner 45km away who can drop a bomb within 50ft of where you’re standing with high accuracy rates?

I mean a shotgun is the most effective defense against a drone

Pretty absurd tbh. Civilian firearms won’t do shit against a cohesive U.S. military and if the military splits then civilian firearms won’t matter anyway cause it’ll be military power vs military power. So much rhetorical acrobatics to justify owning firearms that create so much needless death

that’s what i’ve been saying but people are like ‘but asymmetrical warfare worked in vietnam and iran is kicking our ass’ which completely ignores the technological advancements that have been made in vietnam, and the diplomatic sensitivity of the iran conflict that is limiting our ability to carry out the offensive (which is a good thing it’s an illegal war that should never have been started)

FPV? Probably. I think most of those are almost the size of those DJI drones. But Shahed drones are apparently the size of a motorcycle 😭
