Sustained bursts slow the aircraft but won't make it fall out of the sky.
OTOH, it would have to be a HUGE drone just to support the 4000 pound
cannon!  (imagine how they could be used if concern for the pilot
wasn't an issue)

Yet, when they fly overhead, you wonder how they could possibly get
enough *lift* to remain airborne!  They seem to be flying in slow-motion!

But, it is terrifying to think of what it would be like to  be flown
over in a deployment!  Knowing how much "mass" they can eject!

(One of the places at which I volunteer is in their flight path.  They are
so low to the ground that you can *feel* their passing!)
