Realistically, it wouldn't blow the drone to pieces. However, it doesn't take much damage to destabilize a qaudracopter. If the shot managed to so much as damage one propeller it would go down. It also appears to travel a fair bit as it's crashing, so that's likely what happened.
I'm not a hunter, my question is does bird shot have the range to carry enough force to shoot something out of the sky at a height of 190 feet?

Thanks. It seemed liked quite a distance to make the shot but I never considered how fragile the drone might be.
No problem! I have slight familiarity with them, so I thought I'd offer any insight I can give.
