    So where do you need to shoot it? The round thing, or the flat thing behind it?

      Get one of those cannons that launches a net tied with weights. They’ve proven very effective against drones in Ukraine.

        So your saying like a tshirt cannon? Or basically a pvc tube with a net stuffed in the end and a pressured air tank + butterfly valve at the other end?
        Im sure these will be so expensive to manufacture that no normal citzen would imagine building their own makeshift AA-drone net launcher, not in such a peacful time of our world.
