<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I went to the Assault Breecher School. We didn&#39;t do any concrete walls. We did use a shield and Breecher blanket. Pretty close to the shot but a definite rush every time I&#39;ve done it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve been to methods of entry school (assault breacher) in Quantico and its amazing what little force is needed to demolish targets. Its just simple math to determine the standoff for shielded or unshielded distances. Pretty cool though

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That is bad to the bone. Marines get to have all the fun. Can you say knock..knock?!?!?!
