Comments by "nuqwestr" (@nuqwestr) on "US shoots down Chinese spy balloon | DW News" video.
The stinger AIM-9X has IR controls and this new configuration can also hit ground targets, it's pretty small, less than 10 feet long and 5" in diameter. This one was unarmed, so it really didn't "shoot" anything down.

Used unarmed stinger missile instead of F-22's rotary cannons, so used an ARROW instead of a SHOTGUN to preserve as much as possible. You are incorrect.

Stinger AIX-9, unarmed, just punched through envelope of balloon, Stinger missile is less than 10 feet long and only 5" in diameter. F22 has cannon so this was the least destructive way to take the air out of it, like an arrow.
