[Quadcopterpilot]

I think the drone gun is fine, if used where required, such as fire dept. personnel getting a drone out of the way so they can service a fire. The fact that it lands it safely rather than just scrambling the thing out of the sky to crash land is a great plus.

 

[Quadcopterpilot]

I agree, have no problem with it, if used as you describe and to keep them out of unauthorized area's AND maybe you get it back.

 

[Not A Speck Of Cereal]

... and when they do give it back to you, expect a stern talking to!

Ask me how I know!!

 

[Quadcopterpilot]

Ok, how do you know...lol

Well, it wasn't the fire dept., it was the FAA. I flew too close to a radar installation and it dropped from the sky, inside the fence. I had to go to the FAA offices by the airport and sit in a conference room and listen to scolding for 30 minutes before they returned the bird and sent me off with a bunch of regulations printed out.

Doesn't sound like fun but you got your bird back

 

[Not A Speck Of Cereal]

Aye, and a healthy respect for radar installations.
