A door breaching round is a specialized shotgun shell that’s used to open locked or barricaded doors. Unlike buckshot or slugs, which are designed to stop threats, this round is made explicitly for hardware destruction. Instead of steel pellets or lead slugs, our 12-gauge door breaching rounds are loaded with compressed iron powder. This material delivers explosive force on impact but disintegrates upon hitting the door, preventing the release of dangerous shrapnel or ricochets. These rounds are ideal for SWAT teams, tactical response units, and emergency services conducting search and rescue operations or hostage situations.
The key features and benefits include:
  • Fires at 1390 feet per second for instant breach.
  • Packed with high-density iron powde.r
  • Designed to fracture locks and door hardware.
  • Reduces risk of injury from ricochet or over-penetration.
  • Safer and faster than using explosive charges or battering rams.
  • Compatible with standard 12-gauge shotguns used in breaching kits.
  • Effective in urban, indoor, and tactical settings
The 12-Gauge Door Breaching Round is a mission-ready solution for situations where rapid and efficient entry is required. These situations include:
  • Emergency raids or tactical deployments.
  • Hostage rescues or active threat response.
  • Narcotics enforcement or gang raids.
  • Search-and-seizure operations.
  • Barricaded subject interventions.
In these situations, time is critical. So using a breaching round can save minutes or even lives compared to older, slower mechanical methods.
