Shoot Down a Drone

A simple idea of using a drone to capture aerial footage of a gourd blasted out of a pumpkin cannon at 200mph turned into an unexpected alternate use for an unwanted jack-0′-lantern. The YouTube channel, UglyTutorials, found out the hard way what happens to a DJI Phantom 2 drone when it crosses paths with a pumpkin flying through the air at 200mph: $500 worth of repairs and replacement parts for the drone, although the attached GoPro was just fine after a four-hour search to find where it landed in the nearby woods.
