===========
I want a 40mm glock.

You ain't gonna like the kick or ammo cost.

I have no problem shooting one down in my yard.  I have one of those small cheap drones.   I fly it around my house.  I have not flown it over the neighbors yard intentionally.  I once lost sight of it because of the sun in my eyes, it then flew over one neighbor's yard and crashed in the next yard.  Now if someone shot it because it was over his yard, then whatever that's on me.

Man shoots drone hovering around his yard.
yay or nay?

If my wife is out in her bikini and I spot a drone close in, I know damn well what is going on.  My Disco .22 will take that sucker down fast.

As Clint Eastwood said "I can put a round though a flea's ass at 200 meters". 

Well, maybe 30-50 with me and the Disco, but that is about where I would expect some perv to be hovering his drone spying on hot chicks sunbathing.  Not worried about noise with the LDC on it, and by law if the pellet does not leave your property, you are good to go.

Interesting technology. I wonder if it would work against a drone that was not going off of guidance from a control but on some internally programed flight path?

I was walking my doggy at the park and I met a gent with a pretty nice dji drone similar to the unit in the video above.
He fired it up and flew it around. It was a clear blue sky day.
After it got about a 150 yards away, I could no longer see or hear it.
I lost track of it until it came back and was hovering directly over me.
My point is that you would need a couple of people vigilantly scanning the surrounding airspace in order to detect and defend against a hostile drone.
Those things are pretty hard to see or hear until it's too late.

My friend has one and I wondered the same thing after his got a couple hundred yards away. If it were not for the live camera feed I wouldn't have even known it was still airborne. He guided it by the camera feed along a road until he got to the end. Then he gave me the control and I flew it back. It was tough to keep it real steady and going exactly in a straight line along the road. I was having to correct the flight path constantly. A lot of that could have been the high winds we were having. It was fun and interesting and I see a need for it in my real estate business. Not sure I would buy one just for pleasure though.

There are many open source applications with telemetry.
I'm currently on APM 2.6 with the capability to fly waypoints via tablet or PC. It grew out of Arduino and now APM has an Atmel 32 bit microcontroller.
While the quadcopter can fly autonomously I still have control with a traditional transmitter. It also has a follow me mode - cool if you are runnin & gunnin

My coworker who also lives in Mililani has a DIJ.  Was this at  the Patsy Mink Central Oahu Regional Park?

Also, for a pre-programmed drone to work, you need GPS, else it won't be able to stay on course.  According to the description, the countermeasure can use a GPS signal to override the drone, too.

...
No. This was in Village Park, Waipahu. The guy lives a few blocks away from me.

An interesting side note. ..we chatted for a long time and discovered we also share a common interest in guns and self defense.
Apparently a member of his family had a traumatic experience with a rapist who was never caught.

Looks like the original drone slayer had things go the right way for him:

I doubt anyone in Hawaii would get away with the shooting in his back yard though.

Ok, I call BS.

The device could totally interrupt GPS and ISM bands.  That's only a felony under FCC regulations, but in terms of application, easy to do.  But to assume that the drone will adopt the behavior "I'm lost, I had better land" is 100% specious.  Additionally, the drone has no way to realize it has landed without GPS, so their footage of the drone powering down is fabrication. 

Anything this device does could be done better with an unlicensed omni-directional transmitter.  It would operate 100% of the time, have a 100% effectiveness rate of disrupting drone flights over your property, and a 100% rate of drawing high-value FCC fines on your head.

Nope. If you checked out the APM project, several failsafes don't need GPS beacons to land. My failsafe is set to a min of 3 sats locked - and there is also optical sensors that can give a reference.
If you do manage to jam the GPS band, the telemetry link is still maintained as it is a different freq. I can fly it back home via manual control or it could just land itself - whereever it is.

Not sure you're on the same "wave length."  I was referring to autonomous mode.  Program a flight path, and turn it loose without any further control contact.

You could try a "go straight 30 feet and turn right" program, but it won't help maintain correct altitude or correct for straying off course.

I know there are lots of landing features.  Set a home coordinate and it'll return to that spot if lost control, If no home set, it'll hover over last contact location, etc.
