Attack of the Drones: Company Creates Anti-Drone Ammo
Published at | Updated at
iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Amidst privacy concerns and the ubiquity of camera-bearing drones, an ammunition company has created a load aimed at, pun intended, “aerial drone/quad copter training and range shooting systems.”
Snake River Shooting Products claims its new Drone Munition, “also generates a discussion on the growing drone market in general,” according to the company’s site.
Its website notes, “Drones are now a $50 million industry and growing daily. The Drone Munition brand provides a cost effective solution for self defense as the Federal Government and States scramble to take action. Self defense applies whether it is a person based or machine based threat and is just as important as protecting your family! Our shot shell solutions provide a cost effective way to do just that!”
Incidentally, Snake River explains its new product isn’t just for mechanical menaces: “Drone Munition is also a fantastic hunting load for small game, waterfowl, and turkeys!”
While warning about the “drone apocalypse” on one hand, the site also warns it’s not exactly legal to hunt the remote control devices.
“Please remember that drones are aircraft and as such, are protected by the federal government. Our products are designed to be used in accordance with the law. Use your common sense, be informed and obey all laws with respect to drones and firearms,” it says.
