Don't know how practical it is to do on a night op, but thought it'd be interesting to share nonetheless.

Code: Select all

Looks fun to try
Still, feel just picking it would be more efficient.

Recently i encountered a combination lock. The lock was to small to pick so i tried my luck with the usual default combination (That being 000)
That opened it
There were a few others around with the same combination too.

Fortunately I have plenty of match powder dust handy.

Neat trick, but yeah getting the powder into the lock will require the lock be upside down (because gravity) which limits your options.

Though I wonder if sticking a magnesium strip in will have a similar effect.

Armstrong mix flash powder funny is bad. Gotta watch it with that. carrying it self ignites with friction if you put phosphate. More trouble that it's ever been worth. Galium in a baloonm is reliable if you have a rubber glove and some hours to spare. That's if you can accept damage. I never liked damage. A screw driver will defeat nearly anything correctly applied. As can a small drill. But damage is chump work. Rake or or leave it is my standard. Otherwise take the screwds off or pop a sliding window with an installation lever. I don't like breaking other peoples stuff. I just wanna look around you know?
