Shotgun cartridge (4) for drone defense, comprising: a cartridge case (6), a base (8) closing the cartridge case (6) to the rear with a primer (10), a cap (12) closing the cartridge case (6) to the front, a propellant charge section (14) arranged in the cartridge case (6) on the base side for receiving a propellant charge ignitable by means of the primer (10), a shot charge section (16) arranged in the cartridge case (6) on the cap side for receiving a shot charge (18), and an intermediate element (20) arranged between the two aforementioned sections (14, 16) as a buffer between the propellant charge and the shot charge (18), characterized in that the shot charge (18) comprises a plurality of shot pellets (24) connected to one another by threads (22) such that the aforementioned plurality of shot pellets (24) connected to one another by threads (22) are, after being fired from a firearm (2), ready for firing using shotgun cartridges to create a net for intercepting drones.

A telescoping shotgun stick is disclosed. The shotgun stick includes a hotstick assembly including an outer tube and an inner tube configured to slide within the outer tube; a telescoping rod assembly including: an outer rod tube; an inner rod configured to slide within the outer rod tube; and a locking mechanism secured to a second end of the outer rod tube, the locking mechanism having a housing with a bore therethrough and first and second actuators extending into the bore; a hook connected to an end of the inner rod; and a hook operating assembly connected to a first end of the outer rod tube, wherein movement of the hook operating assembly causes the hook to move from an open position to a closed position.

An Airsoft shotgun firing mechanism has been developed that fires the spherical projectiles of each shot sequentially in rapid succession. The shotgun firing mechanism directs the airflow sequentially against each spherical projectile in the shot, thus pushing each spherical projectile out of the barrel of the Airsoft shotgun. The flow rates of the air are balanced for all the spherical projectiles so all of the spherical projectiles are accelerating when the last spherical projectile is fired. By balancing the airflows, the spherical projectiles have essentially the same energy. The relative acceleration of the spherical projectiles out of the shotgun barrel is determined or selected by balancing the size and configuration of a bypass channel versus the number or stack of spherical projectiles to be fired.
