Shoot Out the Lock	comment	In movies and television, a locked door, or a padlock on a cage is never an impediment so long as the Hero has bullets to spare. One or two shots is generally enough to destroy the lock, allowing the door to open. Unfortunately, in real life — as shown by the MythBusters — this requires a high-powered gun at close range, which causes lots of very dangerous shrapnel. Weaker firearms, mainly pistols, are ineffective against standard padlocks. Ballistic breaching is only used by the military or SWAT, and it usually involves a modified shotgun, Kevlar body armor, and specialized breaching rounds. The breaching operation is performed with the muzzle in contact with the door, or as close as possible, and angled downwards at a 45 degree angle. For a breach on the latch side, two shots are fired at a point halfway between the lock or handle and the door frame to hit the lock's bolt, and then an attempt is made to open the door before repeating if necessary. A hinge-side breach calls for a total of three shots per hinge followed by an attempt to open the door. The old standby "entry tool" (a small battering ram) is a better choice in most situations. The reason breaching shotguns exist at all is that a battering ram requires at least two people to operate, and the shotgun can be used to shoot bad guys too. That, or a good hard kick on a relatively flimsy door.note The MythBusters have done that one, too. The only reason it failed was that one lock was installed with a stronger screw than was included with the installation kit, and even that one would have failed eventually if they'd kept going. Attempts to shoot the lock mechanism itself tend to leave the distorted metal jammed in place while the bolt or latch remains closed. In effect, the door is now more locked than if you had left it alone. (Which some people do take advantage of.) Although if you decided to shoot the lock with a Rocket Launcher, that's another story. The Speculative Fiction version is shooting the control panel for the automatic door or force field, or automatic force field door. While there are doors that "fail safe" or "fail open" when power is cut,note such as cockpit doors on aircraft, where you really don't want a malfunction to lock one of the pilots out of the cockpit in case the other one becomes incapacitated in fiction this is always coincidentally whichever the shooter and/or plot requires. (Note to villains: The Evil Overlord List recommends rigging yours to reverse this.) Not to be confused with getting shot out of an airlock. See also Drill the Lock, "Open!" Says Me, There Was a Door and Axe Before Entering for other violent ways to get through the doors, and Weld the Lock, for using lasers and similar things to seal doors shut.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_1133352a	comment	Terminator: The Terminator: The Terminator shoots out a door lock with his SPAS-12 during the police station assault. Could count as Early-Installment Weirdness as in later movies a Terminator can knock steel doors off their hinges. Perhaps it's because he has his hands full at the time. Terminator 2: Judgment Day: The T-800 doesn't seem to bother with pistols. An M79 grenade launcher works better, though it's less "shoot the lock" and more "obliterate the door". Earlier in the film, he does this to padlocked fence gates while driving a motorcycle, with a shotgun. Granted, it is designed to be a perfect killing machine, but that kind of precision is still very impressive. In Terminator Genisys, T-800 punches out the panel for the fingerprint recognition, upon which the facility doors open.

Unlocked doors can also be opened with a rifle butt or grenade in the first game's expansions and later, though those expansions in particular are very mysterious about it, since not only will doors magically close themselves after a few seconds, but there are also some padlocked doors that you can't shoot open, because the padlocks are part of the door texture rather than an actual physical (and destructible) object.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_37afcaa3	comment	YouTubers Lock Picking Lawyer and BosnianBill of LockLab teamed up to use this method in an attempt to defeat a Squire SS100CS, the beefiest padlock in the world (at the time of that video) at a whopping 9-1/2 pounds, with a massive 100 mm-wide by 50 mm-thick hardened steel body and equally massive 20 mm-thick boron-alloy shackle. After 60 rounds of 5.56 mm and another 40 rounds of armor-piercing .308, the lock was hardly even fazed save for a hole in the shackle caused by a stray armor-piercing .308 round. It took an additional 20 rounds of steel core .50 BMG before the lock was finally defeated, mostly due to the previous penetration of the shackle, where the breach was finally broken due to the shock of repeated impacts. The 8-minute video can be viewed here.

Guards!, where Captain Vimes orders Sergeant Colon to shoot the lock off a gate, despite the fact that guns don't exist, and Colon doesn't have his bow. Apparently storming the keep to arrest a corrupt official is such a key part of a police man's duty across the multiverse that Vimes was tapping into the general consciousness of coppers everywhere. Including places where they have guns to shoot locks off. Detritus later gets a siege crossbow called the "Piecemaker". Initially it only shoots one arrow, but he modifies it to shoot a whole quarrel at a time, which means the arrows basically turn into a fireball mid-air, which shoots out the lock... and the door... and the surrounding doorframe... (and the rest of the building... In short: "You can't fire that here — this is an enclosed space!" "Only until I pull dis trigger....") Vimes thinks to himself at one point that it's the only weapon that can open the front and back doors at the same time.

However, reinforced steel doors or doors attached to a security system can't have their locks shot out at all and explosive weapons won't work either. You'll have to either use a saw, a drill, or C4 to pop the lock. You can also use an ECM jammer to hack the door open if applicable and using a key card also works.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_5e91c7d	comment	Resident Evil 4 actually has several variations on shooting the lock. Blasting the padlock with a gun works. As does kicking the door itself, although that will generally take several attempts (Leon's strong, but he's not that strong). It's also possible to knife the lock open. In each case, shooting the lock is not strictly necessary; you can shoot the chain instead, if it's visible. And for doors that aren't locked at all, but that you don't want to open, you can blow large holes in them. Even with 9mm handgun rounds. RE4 is all over the place with this trope. Some locks can easily be broken while some require considerable firepower, such as the cage fight with the second Garrador and numerous zealots.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_70814599	comment	Shooting the control crystals actually works to take down a futuristic door on Stargate SG-1. And one in Stargate Atlantis by use of Ronon's many hidden throwing knives, but this is something of a subversion as their escape was engineered. It isn't an option in their other appearances. In another episode, Ronon shoots a Wraith door panel with his energy revolver to open it. In the same episode, McKay tries the same thing with a P90 and is annoyed that it doesn't work like it did for Ronon. Or maybe Fridge Brilliance: doors would be designed to open automatically in a fire, which a burst of hot plasma would simulate. And an armor-piercing bullet wouldn't. An earlier SG-1 episode manages to avert this, when an NID agent uses a machine pistol on full auto to shoot around a lock, completely separating it from the rest of the door (and he actually reloads afterward, for bonus verisimilitude).

Shoot Out the Lock / int_76023832	comment	S.W.A.T. (2003): Justified during the opening scene when the SWAT Team breaches the roof of a bank through a locked roof accessway. It takes three shots at point-blank range from a shotgun loaded with breaching shells, which blasts the lock right out of its mounting. Subverted later when the villain locks a sewer exit the protagonists were chasing him through. The lock is obviously a high-end, very tough lock, and a couple of shots from an assault rifle barely dent it. They have to resort to blowing the entire grate off with a claymore.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_7668653b	comment	In a few missions of Mass Effect 3, you shoot the lock off of control panel door to get to the controls inside. Hilariously subverted in the Citadel DLC, however. At one point, Shepard prepares to shoot the lock out of a door, only to be stopped by their partner, who politely knocks on the door and asks the merchant inside to open it. Also in the Citadel, Shepard will be confronted by an angry Traynor who just got thrown off the Normandy by Shepard's clone. If Shepard is in a romance with her, when she kisses her to prove it's really her, the squadmembers can be seen in the background opening the door. Almost everyone uses their omni-tools to hack it open...except for James, who opts to just kick the nearby door conduit, or Wrex, who simply shoots the door's conduit, which works perfectly.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_7ae8ef1a	comment	Done surprisingly realistically in Equilibrium, which is otherwise notorious for outrageous Gun Fu. At the beginning of the film, a heavily-armored SWAT-type team raids a building because the residents are enjoying looking at paintings. The residents barricade themselves behind a locked door. The team breaches the door with point-blank shotgun slugs to the hinges and the door frame near the lock. Then Rule of Cool takes over as Preston dodges the residents' fire and singlehandedly kills them all with Gun Kata.

The other method of freeing them is to get up close and bash the lock off with your weapon's buttstock or handgrip. This is probably the safer method, as it minimizes the chance for friendly fire, although you may have to sneak by enemies to reach the rebels so they can join the fight. It may be easier to just clear the enemy encampment of hostiles, and then come back to free the rebels as a Pet the Dog moment.

Jesper aims at the lever from the second floor and fires as the clock strikes on the hour, with the bullet striking the lever being enough to turn it. In "The Heart Is An Arrow", Alina finds herself locked inside a strongbox, so uses an eyeglass to focus her sun powers on the lock, burning it out.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_b3693333	comment	Clue, of all places. When Col Mustard and Miss Scarlet are trapped in the lounge, Yvette recovers the revolver from the cupboard and shoots the lock twice from across the room. At least one of the bullets goes through the lock and Col. Mustard claims it hits him in the shoulder, and if you look closely and you'll see his suit coat is damaged and he was apparently grazed by the bullet. (In general Yvette manages an astounding level of Reckless Gun Usage in about 30 seconds: she manages to accidentally discharge the gun — which damages the rope holding up a chandelier, causing it to later fall — takes aim at the lock to the door despite two people [Professor Plum and Mister Green] being in the way and needing to dive to the ground to clear the space, doesn't hesitate to fire despite both Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet being just on the other side of the door, grazes Mustard as mentioned above, and then accidentally points the gun at Plum and Green again, causing them to once again frantically scurry out of the way once more lest she unintentionally shoot them.)

Not that it works all the time, mind. One instance of failing a terminal hack to gain access to a secure hardened submarine pen led to her attempting a brute force hack with Thumper, only succeeding in obliterating the terminal and keeping the armored blast doors shut. Luckily for the group however, the sub pen was well-defended from both aerial and tank attacks, and as such has a mass of Flak 88 batteries on the roof, along with some decently hard-hitting APHE rounds. Needless to say, they aren't locked out of the place for too long.

He fires to no apparent effect, prompting the person he's trapped in the cell with to whine about how he's wasted their only shot and clearly missed the lock. The Doctor then smiles smugly and pushes the door open. The Doctor uses a laser pistol to shoot the lock off the Hydromel case at the end of "Terminus". Done somewhat ridiculously in the new series episode "Partners in Crime". A couple of guards try to chase Donna through a locked door. It should be noted she's well out of the way at this point, so it's definitely the door they're shooting. Armed with high-powered assault rifles, they just unload randomly on the door, perforating the entire middle section. They succeed in managing to shoot the handle off... then the door just falls off like they blasted the hinges.

Whenever Team Machine shoots out the lock it alerts the guards inside, causing a shoot-out that draws other Samaritan soldiers. However when Shaw comes up with the keypad combination, they're able to take the guards by surprise, giving Team Machine a chance of survival. In the Season 5 premiere, Reese is being pursued by two Samaritan agents, and uses his gun to shoot out a padlock and chain holding a gate closed. Unfortunately doing so uses up the last of his ammunition, so he uses the chain on the two agents instead.

The Major tries shooting out the lock on an out-of-control tank so she can get inside to stop it, but even though Section 9 uses armor-piercing ammo her handgun doesn't have the power needed to do anything more than put superficial dents into the tank's heavy armor.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_dbbf2001	comment	In the Prince Roger series the titular Prince develops a fondness for using heavy weapons for shooting the lock off (and the door, and part of the wall). In the last book during the climatic assault on the palace the assault team repeatedly uses plasma cannons to destroy the doors in their way. This is justified due to the fact that the doors in question are constructed from star ship armor and plasma cannons are the only thing they have that can destroy them and even they requires Explosive Overclocking to do so.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_ddcb1920	comment	This shows up in Fallout: Equestria - Occupational Hazards with Twintails and his rechambered .45 ACP Luger. Much to his companion and friend Minty's dismay, he does quite enjoy ballistic lockpicking over the standard bobby pin and screwdriver kind. In Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver, Night Strike continues the tradition of ballistic lockpicking with Thumper — a 40mm Grenade Launcher that doubles as a shotgun, and as such can load slug rounds. Not that it works all the time, mind. One instance of failing a terminal hack to gain access to a secure hardened submarine pen led to her attempting a brute force hack with Thumper, only succeeding in obliterating the terminal and keeping the armored blast doors shut. Luckily for the group however, the sub pen was well-defended from both aerial and tank attacks, and as such has a mass of Flak 88 batteries on the roof, along with some decently hard-hitting APHE rounds. Needless to say, they aren't locked out of the place for too long.

Shoot Out the Lock / int_e5c5bc22	comment	Generally averted in GURPS. Because locks, like most machines, have the "Injury Tolerance (Unliving)" trait, all Piercing damage is divided by three after factoring in Damage Reduction. This means that a typical 9x19mm handgun deals a whopping 1 damage per shot to a standard lock. So, you're typically looking at a minimum expenditure of six bullets before a lock potentially fails. Shotgun slugs usually destroy a standard lock in one shot, but that is to be expected: they deal more damage and are of a different damage type (Huge Piercing) altogether.

Jayne attempts to shoot out a lock with a futuristic stun gun, resulting in total indifference on the part of the door (stun rifles aren't really designed to blow out locks anyway).

Super Metroid introduced Power Bomb and Super Missile locks (in addition to the color coded beam based locks and missile shields) for the first time. As well as "Gadora", a door shaped like a huge eye, that would typically guard boss rooms. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes explains this if you scan a door: It's a low powered force field, meant to keep the native (and not-so-native) critters out/in.

Instead, he empties powder from six revolver cartridges into a lock, stuffs in a shell casing, and hits its primer with the gun butt to set off the powder and destroy the lock. The MythBusters tested this scenario and found it wouldn't work either. They needed over 100 cartridges' worth of powder and an electric igniter to blow the lock open. At the beginning of the test, they tried simply shooting at the lock and were surprised to find that one shot did enough damage to let them open the door.
