Ukrainian Anti-Drone Shotguns
« on: Today at 10:41:41 AM »
The Ukis are apparently buying Turkish BTS-12 shotguns for anti-drone defense. So much for a worthwhile use of American taxpayer dollars. At least a Ukrainian Oligarch can buy himself a new yacht with the kickback ducats from the Turks.

Spoiler: it's a bullpup shotgun review/test with no load data or terminal performance against UAVs.

I'd start with 1.5 oz of lead #2-BB @ 1300fps. That should be effective out to 50yds depending on the barrel.  Patterning it could be brutal.
7-11 was a part time job.

It was a durability test.  Nothing more, nor advertised as such.

The Ukrainian connection is literally the first 30 seconds of the video.
