If these are drones and someone does this irl I'm going to shoot them down

Drone-based sky projections/light shows typically use hundreds or thousands of them. Good luck.

So you're saying we should use an EMP?

Well, if terrorism is your goal…

They're drones, not people.

It would be vandalism and property destruction, not terrorism. Calm down, dude.

You seem to think an EMP wouldn't have tremendous collateral damage. It's a nuke for electronics, indiscriminate in targets.

Dude we're going to be hard pressed to even get the range needed to take out part of the drone swarm, and you're worried about collateral damage?

I'm sorry but you can no longer be a part of Project Mayhem.

I guess you could launch a rocket with an EMP on it, to get it closer. And hopefully not take down a plane by accident? Yeah this idea is dumb.

Someone could build an emp with a wave guide in their garage and just aim them at the drones

Just look at online forums and youtubers who are in the DIY electronics space

You could even make one from parts of a plasma globe
