Get some of the Lock-Buster 12-guage slugs the DEA uses. 12-guage
with a shaped-charge explosive slug. They use them for blowing the
locks out of steel drughouse doors.

PS...If you do get some be sure to hide them as they are illegal.

lllegal? If the DEA can buy them.... then law abiding US citizens
should be able to buy them. I like the shape charge explosive...Sounds
cool and effective.

Whats the range?

feet. LOL

The 'lock busters' I've seen are simply bags of powdered lead ahead of a stout
charge. Very effective yrt safe at 3' and under ... which is about as far back
as a DEA agent can get and still hit a door. No shape charge needed.

FMJ = full metal jacket, which is usually copper. It's useless for anything
except paper target shooting. For fleshy targets use an expansive type round
such as hollow points, Nosler Partitions, Grand Slams, etc.

For punching through steel use AP rounds (armour piercing):

What are the pirate boats made of?

I thought you were a gunners mate?

Amen!

Gunny.........I dont think so. Bos'n mate 2nd class.

Most pirate boats are e made of fiberglass over plywood right? That and
steel.


I will check out the AP rounds, have a bunch of FMJ's will use them at
the range plinking.

What about rifle type?

Needs to get around corners fast, NATO rounds, light, knockdown power,
good in a salty soup, can reach out and touch someone, what do you
think should be aboard?
