Buy what you want but the rifle still won't open a padlock.

I question their testing methodology. The locks need to be up against a solid surface, so they can't swing with the impact.

That's why you just shoot the hasp off. The hasp is the weakest part of any padlocked system.

Looks like a shotgun slug was pretty effective, though.

I agree with Flint's criticism. If there was a solid backing, the entire energy of the bullet would be absorbed by the lock and associated system, causing much greater damage.
