Developed by Drone Round Defense, the Drone Round takes 5.56 x 45 mm NATO and 7.62 x 51 mm NATO rifle ammunition and turns it into a multi-piece projectile. At first glance, it looks like any other rifle round, but inside it has five to eight mini projectiles that deploy and are capable of taking out small drones at a range 50 to 100 m (164 to 328 ft), depending on the variant.
Not only does the scattershot of the multi-projectiles greatly increase the chances of hitting a drone, the NATO standard cartridge delivers a much heavier punch that is twice that of a shotgun, so one tiny bit of shot can be devastating.
