Did you watch any of the other videos? They show someone busting the door down, from the top, with the rubber wedge lodged at bottom.
also....Raid in several rooms....it supposedly can shoot up to 20 feet and can stop a man if you get him in the face....
and I would jump out a window if I had too....hope I don't have too...
Thanks moderator! I goobered my post in #58 which they deleted. I reposted correctly below that.
Heads on a pike.
Only then will people learn.
When I was younger I knew guy whose unplugged, unchoked 12 gauge was was loaded with (in order of firing) rocksalt, #4, 00, 00, slug.
I have one of those. We also bought some of those steel door reinforcers for a few doors and a security door. (recently had 3 guys kick in my front door while I was home)
I've done the same thing myself. I used to load my tactical 870 in order with #6, #6, 00, 00, 00. Anymore I just load it with all 00, but my neighbors are farther away. That... And now my primary home defense weapons are a Sig p220 elite, a longsword, and a Viking spear. Not necessarily in that order. :-)
Just another day in paradise.
Speaking of walls. I have a bunch of cheap glue-on mirrors at the end of the hallway that leads to all of our bedrooms. More and more I’m tempted to change some/all of them to two-way mirrors (with mods to the wall of course) so I can be in the master-bedroom closet looking out the mirrors into the hallway in case of a home-invasion. I guess if I really thought it out I could reinforce the lower portion of it with steel & sand. Although I imagine sending numerous rounds down the hall through the mirrors would surprise any intruders and they wouldn’t be able to react fast enough.
Home invasions are pretty rare in my area, but I imagine they will be on the uptick. (And of course, it only takes one.)
Cherry, if you are talking spray cans try wasp and hornet spray.
A camera and monitor would be more easily fortified than a bunch of 2 way mirrors. Just a suggestion.
Anything that slows them down gives you a little more time to take aim on the doorway.
Were you able to send any of them to the morgue for cleanup?
I know. I immediately thought of the Wichita massacre from December of 2000.
Shotgun is best. 12 gauge pump with 00 buckshot under the bed or in the closet. Messy but effective
Never think it won't happen to you, no matter how nice your surroundings.
If we’re talking defensive weapons, pistols and shotguns certainly have their place, but over the years many people who’ve given the matter serious thought suggest an AR-15 with a 16” barrel and M4 style collapsible stock, especially for women.
They are light, maneuverable in tight spaces (especially compared to a full-length shotgun), have virtually no recoil if chambered in the standard .223 SAAMI caliber and with a double mag setup can deliver 60 rounds with one fast mag change.
Plus, the light 55 grain projectile is much less likely to over-penetrate walls compared to standard 9mm pistol rounds or 00 buckshot should you miss your target.
Shouldn’t be overlooked.
