This thing is really cool, but looks not overly practical.

    Pretty ingenious, really.  I imagine its for indoor use only and probably nothing a breaching round would have any trouble with.   :cool

    Yeah I saw that the other day...
    Looks interesting for sure.  But it also looks far too fragile.

    Yeah, I am pretty sure I would break this key in about 5 minutes.

    A bored Marine or two would probably break it in seconds.  It's a special skill.

    I love the idea but not thrilled with how it's built and I don't think it would last, but the lack of picking ability is a good idea. I gotta wonder if maybe a slightly less flexible setup would work better than the chain style. Say something that would stay straight until inserted into the lock and have enough flexibility to follow the channel.

    a few seconds?
    I've seen bored marines break anvils!

    Yes. When the question is 1911, the answer is "yes". ~HVS
