Using consumer drones as target practice, Alex Jones and the Steiner brothers tested out the best way to bring down the drones on the 10,000 acre Steiner ranch as part of filming for Brothers in Arms, a new show which focuses on firearms and the second amendment.


People are now realizing what is going to happen and people are now using consumer drones for target practice. Drones are a weapon system, no ifs ands or butts about it. It is a way to bypass posse comitus using robotic soldiers instead of human soldiers. No exceptions.

I saw this earlier and got a rush of excitement when I read the headline. Sounds like fun to me, if I can take down 3 doves in a group with a bolt action shotgun I think I might be pretty good at drone hunting too.
You echo my sentiments about drones exactly.
Weapons of war and nothing else, regardless of the excuses they will use to try to sell us on the idea.
The only thing I believe that would convince the public to accept them would be if one were to somehow thwart a major terrorist strike. They know it too so watch for some high-profile story soon about the "benefits" of drones in the skies over the US.

I hope someone shares the best tactics for defeating these things. We will all need to know soon enough.

UAVs typically fall into one of six functional categories (although multi-role airframe platforms are becoming more prevalent):

Target and decoy – providing ground and aerial gunnery a target that simulates an enemy aircraft or missile
Reconnaissance – providing battlefield intelligence
Combat – providing attack capability for high-risk missions (see Unmanned combat air vehicle)
Logistics – UAVs specifically designed for cargo and logistics operation
Research and development – used to further develop UAV technologies to be integrated into field deployed UAV aircraft
Civil and Commercial UAVs – UAVs specifically designed for civil and commercial applications

Schiebel S-100 fitted with a Lightweight Multirole Missile

They can also be categorised in terms of range/altitude and the following has been advanced as relevant at such industry events as ParcAberporth Unmanned Systems forum:

Handheld 2,000 ft (600 m) altitude, about 2 km range
Close 5,000 ft (1,500 m) altitude, up to 10 km range

NATO type 10,000 ft (3,000 m) altitude, up to 50 km range
Tactical 18,000 ft (5,500 m) altitude, about 160 km range
MALE (medium altitude, long endurance) up to 30,000 ft (9,000 m) and range over 200 km
HALE (high altitude, long endurance) over 30,000 ft (9,100 m) and indefinite range
HYPERSONIC high-speed, supersonic (Mach 1–5) or hypersonic (Mach 5+) 50,000 ft (15,200 m) or suborbital altitude, range over 200 km
ORBITAL low earth orbit (Mach 25+)
CIS Lunar Earth-Moon transfer
CACGS Computer Assisted Carrier Guidance System for UAVs



are you trying to tell me you're going to shoot a drone out of the sky that's 10,000ft+ or higher?

Most of them fly at very high altitudes - 20,000+ feet.
Out of sight and hearing.
Their greatest weakness is they have to take off and land, somewhere, sometime.
My suspicion is that they changed the FCC rules a while back to accommodate the command frequencies used by these weapons of supreme cowardice.
Maybe the Iranians know something about it.

No exceptions huh?


TacoCopter/Our unmanned delivery agents are fast and work tirelessly.

Civilian application of robotic, autonomous vehicles is the future and no amount of nonsensical hyperbole is going to change that.

NO NO NO!!!!! See this is why we are screwed because of stuff like this!. Ok, I understand this is consumer product their testing however, this is homegrown domestic terrorism against the government. Alex Jones of all idiots out there is telling YOU how to shoot down a govermnent property. HELLO, this is why all these bills and laws are being pass now. Don't sit in your chair cheering this stuff on..we need to be say..oh no, now he's gone and done it!

This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE in my opinion. When more SHTF acticles are being put out like this, people will be getting the use of the idea to think this sort of behavior is acceptable.

I don't like this one bit. Its almost as if Alex is a freaking setup and he wants more people to follow this(him). Ever wonder why "they" haven't kill him yet?

Tanks are machines, that are controlled by humans. Drones are machines CONTROLLED by humans.
Just thought I would point that out.

thats what a rebellion/ revolt or civil war is essentially, and mandatory if necessary.
if the government has no respect for the liberty of it's citizens, what do you expect them to do?

of course the government would use that type of language,
look at Assad in Syria, those pesky armed gangs and terrorists..

for now I agree, they are the government and we should respect the law.
but the moment they overstep their bounds with no way to change it, we the people MUST respond.
or the continous depletion of freedoms will continue unabated and at a stronger pace..

Whats wrong with shooting down some federal property? Did you vote for it?

The Federal Government should only exist by the consent of the American People. At this point it's obvious that most Americans do not consent.

Whats wrong with shooting down a MACHINE thats designed to spy on civilians? That means you and its weaponized to kill you?

F# the machine.

If I shot one down I would hand deliver it to washington and return it to them free of charge.

What is wrong with shooting down a machine made by cowards that is to afraid to come and get you themselves I ask. What the hell is wrong with that?

Read the article, and the statement that the FAA isn't stepping in is complete B.S.

I actually started a thread when the FAA released the new rules and regulations for drones in the US. That was a a few months ago.

Funny thing is, nobody seemed to care, or just thought that it wasnt' going to happen. But now that they see em in our skies everybody's got their panties in a bunch about it.

Never have been the type to say I told ya so, but.......

3: Numb nuts shoots down drone

4: party dance ontop of drone like you are in the middle east creating a uprise against government

5: insert militia

The founding fathers were genius and they inserted the militia for a good reason.

I will go no further but there are many police and military in the militia.

As for martial law we have the socialists and communists in OWS to do that. They can throw rocks and give cops flowers but the militia gets down to bullets and should not be used until the timing is necessary.

Anyways the drones are not a human life...and here you people are..defending machines.

I dont think it is honestly enough. With that new bill that saids "hey, you don't have a lawyer" mix that with "the worlds biggest military in the world" Plus tanks, swat. Yeah its not enough

Every single person who joined the military or swat took an oath to defend the constitution.

It is enough. Those who don't obey their oath are officially traitors and will be shot and killed.
