No, ignore this. Never shoot guns into the air, it's both dangerous and stupid.
Unless it's a shotgun firing birdshot. This is why in many places you can hunt birds, it's really the only type of firearm you're allowed to use, because when shot at an upward trajectory, the pellets do not maintain enough velocity to be harmful when coming down and harmlessly fall to the ground. Anything rifled though is a different story, because its that spin on a bullet or a slug which allows the projectile to maintain its velocity and be dangerous when coming back down.
Someone manufactures anti-drone shells for shotguns. No idea how they're supposed to work (of if they do), just thought it was interesting.
That is interesting, I'm curious what the payload is.
Sure, but most people probably don't know that detail. Hunters probably do, but for your average dumbass a simple "don't shoot any guns into the air" rule is probably for the best.
True but it also depends on where you go. In Canada for example, this detail is explicitly taught to anyone who goes through the process of getting a firearms license.
Pellet gun, that travels like 100m at most.
I guess that's fine if you live on a large isolated property. Where I am, the neighbor's house is like 3.5m away.
If you shoot a pellet gun into the air and it lands on your neighbour's property, it will do less damage than hail pellet.
Yeah that's why I use Fireworks
