    people can easily shatter padlock shackles with ramsets, which are basically little blank round gunpowder powered hammers. not sure if a gun would, but sure seems like it.

    also, the asteroid one is probably quite true, but saturns ring are between 10m and 1 km in thickness, so there are exceptions.

      Saturn’s rings aren’t an asteroid belt. Just replace the word “asteroid belt” with “ring system” in Star Wars and it make sense again.

      Mythbusters were able to easily break all but the largest padlocks with a hammer so you could probably pistol whip a lot of them too.

      The Slowmo Guys released a video on YouTube recently where they shot a pistol at a padlock not really expecting it to break, but it did, haha! I think it took a few rounds though.
