That is what birdshot is for. Birdshot, e.g. "No. 9 or 10" shot, are tiny lead BBs about 2mm diameter. Because they are small, they have a large surface area to mass ratio, and consequently, they fall back down to earth at a low, safe speed. When they land on dry leaves, they bounce off and sound a bit like rain. When it is shot into the air and falls back down onto you, it won't even bruise you, let alone injure you. (However it can kill if fired directly at somebody.)

How about a super soaker instead of a pistol? Especially one of the CPS soakers that got banned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=resgaF7MeR4

Fun video. Definitely showed how easy it is to shoot down drones of the consumer variety.

If you can hit it with a pistol it’s easy to hit.
