Golly, can you imagine if someone maybe hooked up a small tube to fire shotgun shells FROM a drone? That would be awful!
you mean those military drones that basically do exist already. Hack, I think soon be available on Alibaba as well ><. But instead of a real gun its more like the "Salt Guns" (yeah this is a thing as well now eh)..
Real inefficent, you will need to fly and reload multiple times to have a significant effect

Use this and just drop it from a drone instead of launched from a rpg
Could add a frag slieve if you really want, remember that anything wotks

yeah, but much harder to find over the counter than shotgun shells
The problem would be a light remotely operated shotgun
If you can already get shotgun shells and make the light shotgun then you are 70% of the way to a DIY bomb
Between 3D printers and Japanese prime minister hate, I'm sure someone could find a way
Maybe we can compromise
The drone drops the shotgun
If it works then it shoots mid air at the target, if it works as a pipe bomb then its already between the generators
I like it!
The only problem with single use drones is the parts are likely easier to trace as they'll leave remnants.
