John Kettler Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I missed most of the segment on Future Weapons, but GateCrasher is a det cord based, water damped lightweight breaching charge for forced entry for hostage rescue, mouseholing walls, etc. Throws nothing back that can hurt the breachers, but blows an impressive hole right through a cinder block/mud brick wall, neatly avoiding fires aimed to cover the door, while simultaneously disorienting, blinding and stunning the defenders. Focusing the blast greatly reduces the amount of explosive needed for a breach.

Dirtweasle Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I saw that program and was very impressed. A simple and effective device. The host did say it was in use in the field IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
