Considering the small size of civilian drones and their mostly plastic composition, such air combat antics are entirely superfluous - light lasers will handle airspace interdiction nicely & cheaply.
Right to the moment where someone mounts a bunch of mirrors and your offensive laser gets briefly reflected somewhere it really shouldn't go (random eyes, flammable stuff, ...)

And whose head will this drone crash to?
