Saying non credible af here, but in theory one could add a upwards facing shotgun shells on top of the helmet, triggered by a Camera/proximity sensor if it detects a drone/falling grande. Maybe add a gyroscope to check if the helmet is actually facing upwards before triggering. All in all unit cost could be below 250$

    Why not just have a drone detection and alert system, integrate it with the new HUD they’re working on to point to it, and have the soldier shoot the demon bird himself?

    Might want to get automatic shotguns like the AA-12 out there to desperately pepper the bastards.
