SKYNET Anti-Drone Shells - Do they live up to the hype?

I hoped to get some sample rounds of these Skynet shells from the manufacturer. It's a pretty cheap way to get millions of eyeballs looking at your product. But... they ignored me. I have no shortage of stuff I need to shoot, so it wasn't the end of the world to not shoot these. But, a person named Jon contacted me and offered to buy these for us to test. These are a pretty complex round, and it seemed a lot could easily go wrong with them. Each shell is almost $7, and even more when you add shipping. These are designed to damage quadcopters either by impact or by fouling the props with the string.
Why didn't we shoot a flying drone? It's illegal to shoot a flying drone. With all the grief Joerg Sprave got from the media recently, we didn't want to post a video of two cops committing a crime.
We got 6 shells, we shot them all and show you the results, good or bad. Remember, this is not a sponsored video so there was no incentive to try to appease the company and only show cherry-picked shots.

But that's only for some serious Intel recovery. Any average land owner doesn't need to disable the drone, just shoot that shit into as many pieces as possible before it hits the ground. Then hang the broken bits from a dead tree on the edge of your property to warn the others.

@OldieBugger 6 лет назад

I think the idea behind the SKYNET cartridge is that the strings would be tangling with he propellers of a flying drone, *not* doing direct damage. I suppose a normal shot works better if you want to destroy it outright.

@HikaruKatayamma 7 лет назад

In a test with a live drone, the rounds would have fouled the props, bringing the drone down. They aren't designed to destroy the drone.

@taofledermaus 7 лет назад

True, but we can't afford to damage a real, quality drone, can't fly one that close to a naval airbase, and it's almost impossible to frame and focus a high speed camera on a moving object. We were mostly testing the ballistics of these rounds and testing them on easy to hit targets, eliminating a lot of wasted shots. (we only had 6 rounds to test)

@triynizzles 7 лет назад

I have been flying drones for years now. everything from $30 toys, $1000 photography drones, and custom built race drones. propellers are so fragile on these drones. the slightest imbalance in a propeller with cause vibrations that can throw off all the onboard censors. so even though these skynet rounds are slow and do little damage. a string cought in one of the motors can slow the propeller enough to crash the drone. the purpose of these round wouldn't be to destroy the drone, just disable it. the range of these rounds is way to short to really be practical but I believe these to be very effective at doing their intended purpose.

@taofledermaus 7 лет назад

It seems highly unlikely a quadcopter is going to get close enough (25 yards) to you that you'd hit them with these Skynet rounds. Even if the drone is hovering 30 or 40 yards away you'd have to take many shots before you got lucky and hit it.

@kirkboswell2575 3 года назад

Crossing your property in the air is one thing. Most people won't object to that, and if you are talking about an airplane, it's a moot point anyway. What people are objecting to, and rightfully so, are the "spy" drones. Flying over someone's property slowly and with camera running. The first case I was aware of was a father who shot down a drone with a shotgun. The drone was spying on his daughter who was sunbathing in the backyard. Full privacy fencing, etc. No question but that it was an attempt to get illicit pictures. The owners complained to the police that someone shot their drone. The father met the police in his driveway and told them the drone was trespassing. Long story short, the drone owners got in trouble, but they were trying to spin things the other way.

I think the purpose of that string is probably to jam the drones propellers, not to take a whole wing off. And a lot of drones can't hold that much extra weight surprisingly so the sky-net round weights at the end of the strings could at the very least yank the drone out of the sky.

@MrJeepinZeke 7 лет назад

Honestly with the drone your not going for real devastating damage. If you can get one prop to stop spinning or slow down enough, it'll fall out of the sky. That's where i see the whole string thing coming in play. If it were me though, I'd stick to bird shot. If I can hit a flying duck I can probably hit a drone hovering over me.

@taofledermaus 7 лет назад

You still have to hit it. We were barely able to his a stationary target with these at only 25 yards

@lethalinflection 6 лет назад

I feel like it's supposed to disable the drone so that it can be recovered. Say that they are spying with it & it is a security issue, you want to recover that drone & find what data you can salvage from it. Blowing it into smithereens will destroy the unit completely. Recovering it intact might provide useful information such as finger prints & possibly video they were attempting to gather. I'm assuming drones have onboard storage that could be accessible by law enforcement or whatever security force seeking to take it down. I expected the cords to be much stronger & able to function as a 5-headed bola.

@mikejoz 7 лет назад

The rules for drones all changed in 2016. Shooting down a drone, which is considered an aircraft by the FAA, is a 20-year felony.

@taofledermaus 7 лет назад

Yep, a lot of people think we are exempt of the law. We had to find of way to shoot at "drones" without breaking the law. The media would have had a field day if they got wind of two cops being shown committing federal crimes.

@phillip557 5 лет назад

I do actually see this round as successful if you would like to be able to recover the drone you have shot down. The successful deployment of the strings means it will probably snag the drone, mid air, and not completely destroy it. If someone is invading your privacy or potentially deploying unmanned weapons against you, wouldn't you like to try and find out who did it? It's definitely catching something, and you can see they get stuck in trees. You don't have to destroy something to stop it.

I don't know where others live but in my state, it's illegal to shoot down a drone. This was just on my local news last week where a guy shot down another guys drone and the guy doing the shooting went to jail and got 30 days. Watch what you do before going to the pokey!

@donabele1243 5 лет назад

I know this video is a year old...but to be clear - Since 2016 the FAA considers shooting at a drone the same as shooting at a manned aircraft - IT'S A FELONY! Does not matter if it is 'trespassing' on your property (which it isn't - you don't own airspace).

Would have been really interesting to see them deal with one in flight, maybe the strings would tangle the rotors? However yes it’s clear shot is still probably the better choice. As for why shooting down drones is illegal, that makes some kind of sense. Destruction of property and all that.

thumbs down from the guy that supplied these to you. these are meant to be shot at flying drones. the tangle is supposed to stop the propellers which would make the drone go down. these arent meant to do damage to the drone.

@taofledermaus 7 лет назад

These will easily damage a drone if the heavy metal weights strike the drone. Keep trying though

@joekim4794 7 лет назад

TAOFLEDERMAUS you dont understand do you... im saying its not designed for the metal weights to strike anything. the metal weights are designed to carry the "web" and the web is what is designed to take down the drone. something like a bird shot or something would be much more effective when trying to do physical damage to a drone. keep trying.

@joekim4794 7 лет назад

TAOFLEDERMAUS all im saying is when someone donates you anything to showcase on your channel you could have made a little effort and filmed at a different location. "didnt want to commit a crime" is just an excuse.

@Mostlyharmless1985 7 лет назад

Joe Kim when you drop an aircraft from the sky by tangling it's propellers, you are basically throwing it at a wall at nearly 100 miles an hour. It's going to damage the drone even if it were less practical than just you know, Telling the dude with the remote control to fuck off with his swarm of bees with a camera attached.

@tristuscassius7245 2 года назад

I agree with Dylan. The round is designed to entangle the rotors with the string to shut down the drones ability to fly and not to destroy the drone.

@GordieGii 5 лет назад

That "little piece of string" would have wrapped around the prop and severely impaired the drones ability to fly. It doesn't necessarily need to damage the drone through inertia, just tangle the props. One tactic I've heard of is a shell full of twist ties. I also thought a shell full of micro bolas might work. Any way to maximize the chances of tangling a prop.

@aaronleung7902 7 лет назад

I saw another review of this product, and while it's supposed to bring down the drone without harming it, if one of the metal pegs hits the drone, it's going to harm it in a drastic way. I think they concluded the skynet would not bring the drone down safely without harming it, with the product also being so expensive, it's better to use a normal shell to do the same job.

@tomasnedela6782 5 лет назад

I think that the point of this shoot is working differently from what you tested them... Might be, that you need to make contact with drone only with those strings to snare and not damage it at longer ranges where that shot travels slower - like throwing a net over it. Maybe the short range was countering the effect. But it was fun to watch as always TAO crew 😎

@lucassmith4380 Год назад

The idea I would think would definitely be to disable the rotors and ground the drone so that it can be retrieved and examined, and data extracted if possible. Which would work for a recon drone, but a weaponized one obviously # 4 buckshot 27 pellet or 3 inch magnum 41 pellet would be better

@wejdarklighter1743 4 месяца назад

I think the idea of this shell is to tangle the props in the string rather than actually damaging the drone. It would wind up and stop the props dropping the drone.
