I use a Winchester Coohey 30" full choke single shot using BB black ranger cartridges for night feral fox shooting & 150ft would be the accurate limit, after that the pellets start arcing down dramatically, so not much good on a ship.

Twenty thousand Green backs for shooting down a 500 dollar toy, you know why, well the MH60 flies for 10K an hour, add that to the pilots and enlisted men salaries and the hundred or so rounds of ammo

Technologically and ballistically that reminded me of World War Two intercepts and shootings of V2 "doodle-bug" flying bombs over England.

That was the V1 nicknamed Buzzbomb or Doodle Bug. It had a speed of aroun 350 mph. V2 was supersonic and defensible.

There was a guy California who took one down by throwing his t-shirt into the blades. Got arrested for vandalism. Charges were dropped.

That is a very cost effective way but the practical application from a helicopter seems difficult. 8-)

Where are the tracer rounds? Blanks, and a planned ditching.
