Wranglerstar Field Manual: Countering FPV Drones with Shotguns (Manual One) Introduction This manual, crafted by Wranglerstar for the PROhO community, provides essential guidance on using traditional bird-hunting shotguns to combat FPV drones in field operations. ?️? Characteristics of FPV Drones Propulsion System: Rotors are essential for flight. PROhO should aim to disable these. ? Navigation Sensors: Drones rely on GPS and visual sensors. Disrupting these can be highly effective. ? Control Signal: Interrupting the signal between the drone and its operator can cause it to crash. ? Weapon Selection Preferred Models for PROhO: Remington 870: Reliable and versatile, a staple for PROhO. ? Mossberg 500: Robust and easy to maintain, perfect for the dedicated PROhO. ?️ Benelli M4: Semi-automatic with rapid-fire capability for the PROhO who needs speed. ⚡ Modifications: Extended magazine tubes, red dot sights, tactical stocks, and slings are recommended for enhanced performance. ? Ammunition Recommended for PROhO: Birdshot (No. 7 or No. 8): Wide spread, effective up to 30 yards. ? Buckshot (No. 4): Tighter spread, effective up to 50 yards. ? Specialty Rounds: Frangible or steel shot for maximum damage to drone components. ? Engagement Strategy Ambush Points: PROhO should use natural cover with a clear line of sight. ?? Group Coordination: Work in teams to create overlapping fields of fire. ? Concealment: Use terrain and obstacles to hide from drone cameras while positioning for a shot. ? Defensive Posture Camouflage: Minimize visual and thermal signatures to avoid detection. ? Decoys: Use false targets to draw drones into ambush zones. ? Training and Drills Target Practice: Use clay pigeons or other airborne targets to simulate drones. ?️ Dynamic Drills: Conduct live-fire exercises with moving targets to improve reaction times. ? Situational Drills: Set up scenarios where drones are actively hunting targets to practice real-time decision-making and evasion tactics. ? Summary for PROhO Use reliable shotguns with appropriate ammunition and modifications. Position yourself strategically, work in teams, and maintain concealment to effectively counter FPV drones. ? Remember, PROhO, your preparedness and choice of equipment can make all the difference. ??
