A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

6J x 80 BBs/s x 4 Barrels per target direction = 1920J of energy per second on target.
What good is a Singular high energy bullet if it dosent hit. Dosent take much to break a spinning prop of a drone...
Was ist denn das für eine Milchmädchenrechnung?
If your calculation made sense we could shoot cotton balls at tanks to blow them up as long as we use enough cotton balls. This is not a video game where we need to whittle down an enemy unit's HP pool.
That said, I agree with you that any projectile-based drone defense is probably going to have to rely on volume of fire. My objection was merely that BBs aren't going to do enough (edit: and have terrible ballistics) .
Perhaps a scaled down version of C-RAM would do the trick. Still cheaper than Ukraine's current method of burning through 35mm Gepard rounds, as effective as it may be.
We not talking about downing jet powered drones here, we talking about Quadcopters with fragile Props, and making them crash next to the target instead of into it. This thing isnt supposed to have 3km reach. The specs say 25m and i am confident that that is realistic and more would be also impossible without a runaway in optical recognition requirements and runaway in mechanical complexity. Key of this system over a Singular turret mounted machine gun is that in can engage multiple Drones from different directions at the same time hence countering a saturation attack that would normaly overwhelm existing active protection systems.
I look forward to a demonstration video.
I require initial funding of about 35K for the first prototype, after that unit price could go down to about 6k per unit due to scaling
I just checked and my wallet is in the other coat but maybe a Patreon or GoFundMe might work for you. Good luck! 😁👍
Can we go with copper BBs?
because the look cool?
Because they weigh more and are slightly smaller. Meaning more destructive ability. I have actually tried to shoot drones down with Airsoft guns and it only really works with small cheaper models at like 20-30ish feet. BB guns of the similar fps can take em down at like 3x the range
To stay noncredible we gona make em out of depleted uranium then
