umm, yes. If you're on the ground you have to successfully predict where the drone will be by the time the bullet reaches it.
If you're flying alongside the drone, you aim for the drone and you hit it, just as if you and the drone were stationary on the ground.

@955_36 @Niall Iff you and the drone are travelling at the same speed, and close enough the drag of the airflow on the bullets/pellets/munitions are not a factor, and and and

@955_36 @Niall @jackeric @Kristian_Kiehling Have you ever shot a long weapon while moving trying to hit a far away target? I have. And it is significantly more difficuld than standing there on the firm, unmoving ground, and without micromovements of machinery. There is also the wind/ air movement when moving, that on top influences the flight/ accuracy of the bullet. This is reality, not a video game or mathematics experiment. There is more variables that make this difficuld.
