Until you realise there's very little ferrous metal in a "drone". Not sure how the steel barrels of the shotgun would cope though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The magnets in the motors. One piece in a moter and down she comes. And you don't need a Perdey to hit a drone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you don't need a Perdey to hit a drone. I think that idea has about as much chance of success as squirting a garden hose at a passing drone and hoping it will go rusty..... Pete ps - You won't need a licence for a hose either....! Edited By Pete B - Moderator on 14/12/2017 15:35:53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly "off topic", but using a firearm to purposefully damage someone else's property is a criminal offence, and very likely to end in at least the person behind the trigger losing their SGC, and quite likely for them to get a stint inside. Not a great idea overall! Pete - just not when the hose ban is on Edited By Andy Meade on 14/12/2017 15:39:01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 How about enough officers to patrol the grounds properly, nothing new in stuff being thrown over the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 One with a shotgun perhaps. and Pete a riot hose is very OTT, never get it up the gap tween inner and out wall of a prison. But you are quite right, and I need reeducation. The correct course, as these chaps have an interest in aviation, is to change their goals and ambition, with a a 2 year air transport pilots course, free of charge to them of course.

Don Fry Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Your Lord and Master the Under Secretary of State for Justice, is talking through his backside. This is a long standing problem, alongside other longstanding problems. Given the number of employed police officers and prison officers continues to fall, as it has done for quite a few years now, there are problems that will not go away any time soon. And a special operation is a traditional ruse to get some publicity, without too much effort, or result. I accept I am a cynic.

Martian Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 It's a shame that an enterprising nefarious business is cut short after all that investment in cutting edge technology and what was the breaking strain of the phishing line Edited By Martian on 14/12/2017 18:03:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Fry Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I used to be a crime scene examiner. I reckon, if you captured a drone, and didn't mess the evidence up, ( the biggest if), I could collect samples to identify the users.

Dave Bran Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'm going to Tweet Mr Trump and suggest he starts a "stop recycled to death old stale news" campaign, as that is what SO many closed forum etc threads on drone banning/regulation/etc are now. Of particular note though is the regular likening of UAVs to cars not being banned/regulated to death, so why leisure UAVs? REALLY?? Society clearly feels it requires cars/transport vehicles, but leisure model aircraft are NOT an item that is required for society to operate, no matter how much we love our sport. End of..................................Move on, nothing to be able to influence here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
