When I was young I tested this theory with a 20gauge slug and it worked great.
In other news, gas tanks on old trucks do not explode when you shoot them. Which in hindsight, was a good thing.
Travis So true. Good to know I wasn't the only one who tested this not-so-great idea.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

This has Darwin Award potential. I had a buddy back in school that tried shooting the lock out of an old 50 something car trunk with a 22lr from ~5 ft and had it bounce back and hit him in the thigh. He bled. I had a .32S&W slug bounce back off of a steel hub cab. It also bounced off the double-fronted Carhartt logger pants. The latter was a good thing.

I do know it is not a good idea to make firecrackers from quarter sticks of dynamite. Lite them, and throw them on the ground. On top of a septic tank. The expression "xxx" hits the fan is appropriate.
I also have a swinging steel target in the back yard, with holes through the plate. Put there with 280grainers out of a .45colt.
You would be surprised.
I penetrated seven gallon milk jugs a week ago with a .44mag 310grainer. It's surprising what some of those things will do.

(safe range) Oxygen tanks, however, do..............

Barnes TSX bullets can 'boomerang' when shooting thick steel��making really spooky sounds when they whiz close overhead��.at least the first time�.not sure if they always sound the same or not�.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

A good hacksaw on the old stuff the new hardened locks chain you will need a grinder. don +1 I would be looking for the angle grinder. Great tool.

Hammers are hell on most padlocks.
A carbide bit and slightly modified dent pullers are straight UBER.

12 Gauge Slug!
There are "breaching" rounds that are made of powdered medal that reduces ricochet. Not sure if available for civilian market? Sintered copper they are made from. For attacking normal house locks birdshot works nearly as well.

Ever wonder why they market padlock cutters as "bolt cutters"? PC I guess. I've never had inclination to cut a bolt with one, but have a few locks. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a526/richardgardner091/Power%20tools%20for%20sale/BoltCutter_zps5ca16159.jpg)

It is a proven fact that you cannot cut down an oak tree with a few wraps of 70's era commercial Primacord, even if you add a couple of sticks of dynamite to the mix.
It is, however, a proven fact that you can split said oak tree to the ground with a couple of sticks of said dynamite placed in the Y of the trunk.
It's all about location.

When I find an old padlock I want to open I just make a key. Easy if you know how and a LOT easier on the body.

It's all about location. Timber cutting charge calculations are on the GI Demo card. Probably find it on line.

The smart guy attacks the wood around the fasteners. You shoot out the bolt with birdshot on a doorlock. If its all steel/chains ect, you call up the breecher with the quickie saw
