    What if they switched to shooting sand? Raining sand isn’t too deadly, it’s not dense enough right? And if it’s not lethal enough to the drones, then they can just up the caliber to shoot more sand.

      Bird shot doesn’t hurt when it lands on you, it certainly wouldn’t feel good in the eyes. Bird shot goes down to 0.08 inches in diameter there is a smaller shot called snake shot it goes down to 0.053 inches in diameter. Snake shot is typically loaded in rifle cartridges but only has a range of 20 yards so probably not great for shooting drones down.
