Timing how long it takes for grenades to drop in Ukraine, they are 150-200 ft up. Even #2 birdshot is a little weak at that altitude.

Certainly distance plays a large part. While some guys might, I don't take shots at geese at more than 50 yards with BB. I'm kinda curious if anybody on the youtubes has bought a bundle of the $25 drones on Amazon and tried to shoot them down at various altitudes/speeds with different shotgun loads. If they haven't, maybe Garand Thumb should. It sounds like "science" right up his alley. I know he's done one where they were hunted by a drone, but I don't think they shot back, because it was an expensive drone.

"Egypt gives zero *expletive deleted*s if a couple million Palestinians have to die..."

It's pretty evident that virtually none of the Arab countries in the Middle East really care about the Palestinians, and just see them as a convenient tool.

No. 4 buck has been my round of choice for home defense since I bought my home in 1993.

27 .24-caliber pellets is going to ruin the hell out of someone's day at household distance.

If I do ever need something heavier, there's the 5 rounds of 00 buck in the carrier. It's not the standard load, it's got an extra layer of 00 pellets, for a total payload of 12. Done with a roll crimp and card overwad.

I suspect Egypt is thinking that it looks like the longer this goes on, the worse Israel looks on the international stage, and the less support they have in the west.  The Arab world would LOVE to see Israel's support in the West dry up, or even see a good decrease.

Egypt gives zero *expletive deleted*s if a couple million Palestinians have to die to damage Israel, and even better if they do it to themselves.

I'll stick with #4 birdshot for non-military UAVs.  Denser patterns.

Likely the better choice for anything within shotgun range. FPV drones are pretty darn fragile.

Had a discussion the other day about what would be best for drones after watching Ukraine videos. We figured 4 buck would probably have the best combination of range, shot pattern, and power.
