only someone with too much time on their hands (and too much ammunition) would decide to test this out.

if you shoot it right not hard.
but shooting it right when its on a door there is a good chance you will get a bullet coming back at you.

99% of the time what the lock is attached to is the weak link not the lock itself.
I laugh when I see a lock on a chain around a fence.
The bar of the fence is way easy to cut, break or shoot, much more so than the lock.
Iv broken them with my bare hands before.

Lots of things you see in the movies isn''t that easy....

Actually, this was a good experiment. Didn''t even cost that much to do - and I am sure a lot of fun.
