Unique Breaching Method

[alelks]

This is different. I use to like the IV breaching charges and it looks like this does pretty much the same thing. Of course there is one HUGE negative. You can't be stacked by the door when someone uses this method.

The length of the device makes it look like it would be a little akward to carry during close quarters tactical operations. I would have like to seen what it would have done employed against the cinderblock wall.

It's not new, it has been around for a few years. I don't know of anyone that has used it or tested it.

It me the size would suck to carry around. Unlike a ridged, this is being carried around on the battlefield. For how long? Ridged your going in and using it quick. I want not like to have to carry this after all day.

5.5 oz of comp C-4 (I don't know what they use but that is the gold standard) is A LOT for a CQB charge! You won't catch me stacked on that door! It would be great for a target that you can't get your breaching team to the door without compromise I guess, well within 30 meters. I would just cut the fields of fire of my defensive position back to 50m...

Cool concept though. It would be great for MOUT, but then as someone pointed out, that's what AT-4's are for!

It's not new..
I think the RPG (seven series) is just as effective??

SIMON breach grenade

The SIMON is a rifle grenade designed to breach through doors, developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. It is intended for use with 5.56 mm rifles such as the M4 carbine.

A variant of the SIMON 120 is in service with the U.S. Army as the M100 Grenade Rifle Entry Munition (GREM). Changes from the original specification involved fuzing and reliability issues.[3] An inert round, the M101 GREM-Target Practice (GREM-TP) allows training for accuracy without the explosive hazard.

The system was given a U.S. Army award as one of the top ten best inventions of 2005.

• Arching fire
• Watercraft
• Aircraft
• Animals
• Mine fields
• Enemy and friendly OPs.
• etc.
