What Rifle/Caliber For UAVs?

Spy drones in demand by U.S. police departments

I am not in any way advocating or suggesting shooting down Police UAVs, but someone had to ask this question. The article refers to UAVs weighing 14 pounds and 8 pounds, so I would think they would be somewhat susceptible to attack from the ground. I don't know what altitude these small UAVs would fly at however, so shooting them down may be a non-issue. Again, I am not advocating illegal activity, I am just throwing the idea out for fun!

You can always confuse them with flying plates (skeet), so PULL.

Forget it, they fly high and quiet, trust me bullets have been fired at them here in beautiful Iraq. None knocked that I know of, even if they were the US would not admit it.

How about a stinger missle. Not sure how the cops would feel about you having a stock pile in your garage though.
