Pellet or BB gun
Little bullet, big sky. Pellet/BB gun isn't going to cut it. it has neither the range, accuracy, or power to take these down. You would need a shotgun, bare minimum, and even that may not do it because round balls lose their energy very quickly compared to modern bullets. Actual anti drone warfare is typically done with directional jammers.
Or train a hawk
What kind of waves control these? Maybe you can fuck with them without an specific jammer
Pretty sure it's normal radio freqs like an RC car. Technically jamming is illegal (FCC violation.) I saw this video earlier on using low power gps signals to take them down.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
A BB gun would be pretty useless outside of touching distance, but a strong pellet gun or air rifle can shoot quite a long distance, over 50 meters pretty easily, with enough power to kill a small animal like a rabbit or rat. I imagine that could do some serious damage to a drone. Or for a less violent method, a potato gun/t shit launcher that fires a net.
I really doubt it. Almost all pellet guns are manually operated, so you have a rate of fire in the single digits, and they're typically mechanically inaccurate (especially spring powered). Cheap quadcopters can hover at like 400 feet. Good luck figuring out your holdover shooting 60 degrees up in the air. That's like max range for a 28" waterfowl shotgun setup, using actual gunpowder.
