  1. My former department had one of these specifically for breaching, as Ian said. The SWAT guys were the custodians, and it was used at least four times that I remember. This was back in the 80's and early 90's when we had clandestine drug labs all over the county, and some of them had two or even three door systems to prevent a typical raiding team from getting in. Unfortunately, I was just a grunt, so I never got he chance to fire one, but I did see the results of using it. Our armorer was a top notch reloader, and he came up with round similar to the Hatton. It had a slug made with frangible aluminum in some kind of binder. The details were on a need to know basis, and grunts didn't need to know. They raided a house modified by a well known speed "manufacturer", and he had set up three steel doors with six hinges each, all chrome steel. After our raid, the hinges were not only destroyed, but the slug tore the underlying sistered wood door frames apart. They went through eleven of the twelve rounds before they were in. It was a very impressive performance.
