Ancedotal, but friends back from Afghanistan said they worked
fine in the apalling cement-like dust there.

"M4 with a Master Key" was their favorite. I'm a little
unclear on whether the Master Key is a 40mm or shotgun attachment, but
they used it for room entries.


I believe its a shotgun attachmment firing a solid round.
There's a term for these things but I don't recall it.
Police forces usually employ a separate shotgun for door
breaching work if they think a battering ram won't do it.
