Airplane-Dropped LaRue PredatOBR Rifle Shoots Down DJI Inspire Drone.

Via Cousin John


To shoot down a drone, LaRue Tactical packaged a pre-sighted and disassembled PredatOBR rifle kit…then dropped it not once, but twice, from an aircraft. The first attempt bounced out of camera range, so the package was dropped a second time. Impact was onto a rocky central Texas terrain bouncing high into the air.

Acting as a friendly ground-asset in a hostile area, Todd Hodnett then retrieved and reassembled the 16" 7.62 LaRue PredatOBR with NightForce 5-25 ATACR riflescope (mounted in a LaRue LT111 QD scope mount). Todd then moved into hasty position and with the first pull of the trigger, shot down a DJI Inspire drone hovering at 203 yards. Todd then continued to engage several steel targets out to 437 yards until all simulated threats were eliminated.

LaRue Tactical is well known for delivering hyper-accurate, highly-reliable AR-based rifles. To see more about LaRue Rifles, and their other fine products, visit: www.LaRue.com.
