Judging from the demonstration videos, it appears to be effortless and noiseless (the sound is muffled by the lock cylinder). There was one video taken at a home and personal security convention where they trained an 11 year old girl to bump locks. With 3 minutes of training, she successfully bumped 2 locks.

3 gators? Are you serious, Kev? Aren't there some ownership legality issues? They probably each have a daily diet requirement of one household pet (like chihuahuas).

Attention The Head. Here's an avatar for you:



It was my beverage of choice back in college.

They sure are hungry! I used to have 4 poop throwing monkeys. The other 3 mysteriously went missing.

I agree with others in that if someone wants in your house bad enough, they will find a way. My personal defense begins with motion lighting, good locks and two german shepherds inside the house. Should someone be foolish enought to continue, then there is the H&K 45, Semi auto M4 with laser, and if a work day/night, an MP5SD. I live in a rural area, so must be able to take care of myself....

Nice choices. H&K USP .40 with M3X here. I am a strong believer in light. Can't shoot what you can't see.
