I was wondering which 12 Ga. door breaching round is considered better the Federal or the Fiocchi round or are they equal?
Not sure, lol. Just wanted to see how they compared to each other.PogoTheClown said:Whose door are we breaching?
I would but don't have any plus I have to wait until August till I get my shotgun. (NFA)OmegaRed said:test them and report back!
You never know when they'll get there and what they charge?Gearz said:Wouldn't a locksmith be the better option? Sorry, couldn't resist. 8)
More like 1 3/8 oz. for the federal.Jack_Bauer said:This may help in the determination.
Federal - Slug Weight: 1-3/4 oz. / 602gr
Fiocchi - Slug Weight: 1oz. 1280 fps.
Depends on the door and the lock you are trying to blow to smithereens.Jack_Bauer said:Would the added slug weight make a difference here vs the fps?
For the same reason that some people in Wisconsin just have to get their AR custom painted in desert camo, even though the nearest desert is over a thousand miles away.GDubya said:WTF does a Civi care about OFFENSIVE door-breaching ?!?!

Because that is what the AUTHORITIES use.
I'm not totally sure, but from the videos on YT I've watched I think you don't shoot the lock, you shoot the hinges. Blow off the hinges and a good chunk of door and it doesn't matter what kind of lock they have.OldStufferA5#1911 said:Depends on the door and the lock you are trying to blow to smithereens.Jack_Bauer said:Would the added slug weight make a difference here vs the fps?
Well,,, no idea about You-Tube, but when I was overseas where some Door Breaching had been done, they blew the locks (or more correctly, the frame the locks were locked into)snuffy19608 said:I'm not totally sure, but from the videos on YT I've watched I think you don't shoot the lock, you shoot the hinges.

I know what you mean. Then these same people wonder how these restrictive gun control laws get passed. Last time I looked, it was called, The Bill Of RIGHTS..... Not The Bill Of NEEDS.indianajonze said:i know i'm a new member here, but i'm pretty shocked at some of the responses to the op question. What do you need that for? Civilians don't need that, etc.
