- Description
- Engineers at the Idaho National Laboratory in the National Security Program have developed and successfully demonstrated the "Idaho Integrated Breaching Shotgun" for law enforcement agencies and the military. The " Idaho Integrated Breaching Shotgun" combines into a single weapon a shotgun for destroying door hinges or locks during a rapid, forced entry, with the traditional automatic rifle for returning gunfire. Engineers have designed the breaching shotgun to fit under the barrel of the rifle. They made several modifications to the shotgun's operation so that officers can use either weapon without repositioning their hands to reach the triggers, thereby giving them split-second use of either weapon. Also, they redesigned the shotgun to deliver more energy from the shell as it exits the barrel, making the shotgun more effective for forced entries. For companies interested in commercializing the "Idaho Integrated Breaching Shotgun" please contact: Tom Harrison, Consulting Account Executive, Technology Outreach, at the Idaho National Laboratory. Telephone: (208) 526-1710 E-mail: harrtm@inel.gov.
