My bro taught me how to shoot a BB gun. I shot the head off of a dragon fly about 10ft away. That was my best day ever. He also taught me how to shoot a bow and arrow, it was all the bows fault the arrow didn't hit the target.

Thanks for the info guys. There's a decent size gun show coming up the end of this month at the county fair grounds. Going to hit that up with a buddy of mine who wants to get more involved in shooting also and see what we like/feels comfortable.

Buy what you want but the rifle still won't open a padlock.

I question their testing methodology. The locks need to be up against a solid surface, so they can't swing with the impact.

why?

That's why you just shoot the hasp off. The hasp is the weakest part of any padlocked system.

Looks like a shotgun slug was pretty effective, though.

I agree with Flint's criticism. If there was a solid backing, the entire energy of the bullet would be absorbed by the lock and associated system, causing much greater damage.

To be accurate, I've never seen a lock that did not have some kind of backstop, like the door. I'd like to see the film of shooting locks that have a 1 to 2 inch thick board behind them. I bet the out come would be different.

BrianR · 09-13-2008, 02:11 PM

so grab yer rifles and pistols, a board and a few padlocks. Head out to the range and take video!

I don't have time right now, when I do I'll post the video here for all to see. Could be up to a year, so you have a while to wait.

BrianR · 09-14-2008, 01:13 AM

Um, why must we wait? A YEAR??? That's a long time to wait for you to blow some padlocks to Kingdom Come.

We'll forget all about this by then!

Hunting season is coming up...go sight in on the locks and show us sooner!

Dude, I'm in school until mid Dec. Daily schedule is 6 in the morning until around 5 at night. The range(s) I would use are not available on the week ends. I'll most likely deploy in Jan for about 6 months. The soonest I could see me doing this is next summer. Maybe we could convince another dweller to shoot some locks?

BrianR · 09-14-2008, 01:54 PM

Wellll, OK then

Army then?

regular.joe · 09-14-2008, 05:45 PM

Yea, I'm in the Army.
