Of course you'll still need an 'accessory' to complete your mission. Check out this video. An inventive use of a single 5.56 round to breach a door from 30 yards away. Oh yes, you need a shaped charge too.

Man, I used to love that show, Future Weapons.

My Picatinny contact tells me the Army version is the GREM. Grenade Rifle Entry Munition. He says it works as well as it looks in the video.

 

And he would know.

Don't bend over for the soap! Yeessh!

It does work well, unfortunately you can only carry one per man, realistically.

 

Not sure why you mention a shaped charge though, the GREM doesn't have one

The shaped charge I referred to was on the Israeli version.

 

What does the GREM use?

The SIMON and GREM are functionally the same, they just use a big-ass standoff rod to detonate a puck of explosive away from the door. The long rod is necessary to avoid simply punching a hole in the door without knocking it open.

 

Neither one has a shaped charge although I think the bullet trap kinda looks like a shaped charge, except its facing the wrong way
