You hit a steel door and send that edge into and through deep enough to have the skin snap over those bolts and you are not getting that unit back out without some serious cussing. I like their stuff, but that design on steel doors, frames, car roof steal, real breaching and, well, imo it is a no go. </div></div>
You're not a pain in the butt at all. I'm not an engineer, or designer, but I have used it for 7 years during my firefighting job, and I can tell you I've beat the shit out of it, destroyed a bunch of stuff, and I cant remember it ever getting stuck. I think the geometry of the heads help. I get what you're saying, and it makes sense, but I ve not experienced it. I also have ( had, lost on a fire ) a RMJ that I use too. It pierces and slices a lot better, with totally different head geometry. different tools for different uses.
