You know that the site posted this as an April Fool's joke, right?
Just do the math:
The box says it contains 1-3/8 oz of shot, or 1.375 oz. In a lead-shot shell, that works out to .21 cubic inch of lead (lead weighs one pound per 2.44 cubic inches).
However, depleted uranium weighs 1.68 times the weight of lead. If there is 1.375 oz of DU, then the volume is .12 cubic inch.
Suppose that .12 C.I. of volume is in 00 buckshot. The diameter of 00 buck is .33 inch. That makes each pellet's volume .02 CI. So there would be .12/.02 pellets, or 6.
Exactly how does one shoot DU pellets to an altitude of 50,000 feet to shoot down a drone - with a shotgun? Remember, 1.375 ounces of DU shot has no more inertia than an equal weight of lead shot.
It was a pretty good April Fools joke, though. - 4/3/13, 3:16 PM

You're harshin' our "mellow"...!
Keep the facts out of it.

I see this like the stings the police would purportedly play from time to time, offering some kind of irrestible deal to the group they were seeking. Anyone who attempted to visit the website or tried to order can expect a visit from BO's Janetbooted thugs.

What you need is a couple of shotguns loaded with ACTIVE Plutonium or Uranium slugs. Fire them at the same time at each other and watch the mushroom cloud!!!

Settle down, Donald. Well over half of C&S readers can do arithmetic, and we would all buy DU shot if we could.

I like Rev. Sensing's math, but a kilometer is nore like 4000 feet rather than 50,000. We need to be talking to the high-power rocketry hobbyists rather than shotgunners, though 12 gauge is effective on the multirotor small jobs.

Just fly an ultralight with a dangling large fish hook at the end of a long line...you'll rip it's wing off no prollem!

I want my own drone. An armed one, so I can shoot theirs down. They are coming. Soon we'll have anti-drones. Then spotter drones, to find the drone operator. Then anti-spotter drones, or jammer drones. A drone arms race.
Frankly, I'm a little surprised that no one has tried to assassinate or murder anyone with a drone or model airplane yet. Seems like a no brainer to me, just run into the target at high speed. No fancy explosive or incendiary needed, although fixing a bayonet or some such to the drone might be useful. You could probably use one right off the shelf.
If I were a political leader, I would have experienced skeet shooters appropriately armed around me at public events. I would be surprised if the President doesn't. - 4/5/13, 5:45 PM
