    A US Marine practices shotgun door-breaching techniques. A breaching round or slug-shot is a shotgun shell specially made for door breaching.It is typically fired at a range of 6 inches (15 cm) or less, aimed at the hinges or the area between the doorknob and lock and doorjamb, and is designed to destroy the object it hits and then disperse into a relatively harmless powder.

  3. Door breaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_breaching

    Utilizing a breaching tool is unnecessary if the door is unlocked and easy to open. [5] [3] [6] [1] If the door is locked, breachers can attempt to force inward-opening doors with a strong kick. The breacher will aim to hit the door near the locking mechanism, but not kick the doorknob itself as one can easily twist an ankle doing so. [7]

  4. Satchel charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satchel_Charge

    Part or all of this charge could be placed against a structure or slung into an opening. It was usually detonated with a pull igniter. When used as an anti-tank weapon, charges were sufficient to severely damage the tracks. 4 kg (8.8 lb) charges were enough to destroy medium tanks.

    Then, the needle gun is used to remove rust, loose scale, and paint, leaving bare metal. [5] It is used most effectively by holding it at a 45° angle to the work surface. [5] It is recommended that an area no larger than 6 to 8 inches (150 to 200 mm) be cleared at once. [5] Two to three passes over an area is generally sufficient to clean it. [5]

  6. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

    Stainless steel, also known as "inox steel" does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel. Pierre Berthier , a Frenchman, was the first to notice the rust-resistant properties of mixing chromium with alloys in 1821, which led to new metal treating and metallurgy processes, and eventually the creation of usable stainless steel.

  7. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

    Rust bluing was developed between hot and cold bluing processes, and was originally used by gunsmiths in the 19th century to blue firearms prior to the development of hot bluing processes. The process was to coat the gun parts in an acid solution, let the parts rust uniformly, then immerse the parts in boiling water to convert the red oxide Fe 2 O

  8. Powder-actuated tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder-actuated_tool

    Low-velocity powder-actuated tool cross section. Powder-actuated tools are often used because of their speed of operation, compared to other processes such as drilling and then installing a threaded fastener. They can more easily be used in narrow or awkward locations, such as installing steel suspension clips into an overhead concrete ceiling.

  9. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture.Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
