A device for holding and loading shotgun shells is provided. The device includes a resilient pad having a front side with a pair of openings for receiving, retaining, and releasing a pair of shells into the barrel of a shotgun. The openings include a plurality of expansion joints to assist with the loading and unloading of shells into a gun. An annular groove extends around a base of each opening for resiliently and frictionally retaining the rim of a shell therein. An opposing end of the pad includes a laterally projecting tab portion formed with an aperture therethrough for a user of the holding device to manually grasp and manipulate said device. The expansion joints and material of the pad facilitate the insertion and release of the shells, whereas the groove and size of the openings serve to frictionally retain the shells within the device.

An invention for using commonly available weaponry, namely shotguns or larger caliber cannons, for the control of drones and other projectiles by use of an ammunition containing aerodynamically designed series of sub-projectiles linked together by high tensile strength web in such a manner as to expand to the predetermined maximum size immediately upon exiting the barrel of the weapon and continuing along a steady and predictable flight path to the target while maintain the shape of the web to provide the most consistent interception pattern increasing the odds of success.
