Ask HN: How difficult would it be kill golfballs?
I was walking my dog in the forest today. 
To one side there is a golf club with a bit of forest between me and it 
I could hear people at the driving range having fun.<p>I had recently read about an F16 crashing in Ukraine, possibly due to a Patriot rocket. 
(This has been strongly denied since then. ).<p>Still my brain returned to the general problem for anti-rocket rockets.
That of being at the right area at the right time for an explosive date with an enemy missile.<p>As the golf balls kept flying through the air, my mind switched to golf balls.<p>How difficult would it be for a sniper to hit a golf ball in the air?<p>With some form of mechanism to keep the gun a bit quiet, it would be fun if someone shot golf balls.  
If the balls would actually be mostly destroyed, they would appear to just disappear.<p>Is that more difficult than a missile hitting another missile?<p>Of course a sniper is just human, so let’s mount the rifle on a Patriotish kit so the computer can do its magic.<p>Well perhaps we can give it 4 sniper rifles to use?<p>What is we instead just but some canons on it that can fire an excessive amount of bullets in a short period of time?<p>What are the odds of making it work? Killing golf balls.
