Drone Hacking: SKYNET Shotgun Shells - Drone Net Shell Testing

Defeating net-based drone defense products by using a protective chicken wire bubble: The SKYNET 12 gauge shotgun shells blew a hole right through our chicken wire protective cage.

Watch how SKYNET 12-gauge shotgun shells were extremely effective in use, but not really that practical of a solution since you could seriously injure or kill someone with them by accident, limiting the number of areas you could actually use them in reality.

Transcript

First we're going to go ahead and try the Skynet shotgun shells, which are 12-gauge shotgun shells that have deployed a net specifically to try to take down drones. These shotgun shells are one of the simpler drone defense options available, just twenty dollars for three, and they can be fired from any traditional shotgun. The difference of course is the netting, which wraps around the drone's propellers to take it down. Skynet - extremely effective - is the cheapest out of all the solutions by far. That's a metal piece that went into that, so we could see here looks like if we had zip ties here bent in the net. We apply leverage back here. Hold it taut.

Dude, look at that in a little hole in the net of metal piece that went straight through a second. That's a shotgun hole from one of the projectiles from where the metal pieces you see. The surprise of the day was probably the shotgun. Joe, I fixed it that they would do well but not nearly as well they did. They were super effective and the cheapest out of all of the products that we tested today. But that doesn't mean they're meant for everyone. I would say the shotgun shells are probably useful in certain scenarios, but they can be extremely dangerous. I think it could hurt somebody, so I think it would be extremely limited and where you can use them.
