Interesting. Caught this one the other night, premier episode I think, some guy in the midwest building HUGE custom underground bunkers. Like 1200 square feet for around $450,000.
My wife kept saying how STUPID it was for the guy who was "big in the prepper community" that he was even thinking of bringing people out to see his bunker. Stupid. As in the fewer people who knew, the safer a redoubt it might be.
And the door? Is he kidding me? .223 round "only" penetrated the one side. How about 7.62 rounds? Fifty Cal? How many of those would it take to start ripping through the OTHER side and start spalling on the INside.
And the door could take 3 lbs of LOW explosive? How about adding some bullseye powder and aluminum to that and making a small shape-charge to blow out the bolts and/or hinges. And I'm not even an EOD guy (just had a somewhat misspent youth) nor am I hungry and desperate to get inside your bunker or I might bring a backhoe or a bulldozer if I suspect there's really something of value in there. Hell, even the Egyptian kings' underground bunkers have been looted by people with far fewer resources or motivation.
Even better. I know you're underground, I'll just dig a hole, drill a hole into the top of your little tin can and spray chlorine gas inside and wait for you to surface or until your gas mask filters carbon elements are full. *kack*
Doomsday Bunkers. What a load of crap. But entertaining, and something to share with the wife. Besides those god-awful Say Yes to the homosexual-designed wedding dress programs she's addicted to.
