A New Standard in Breaching Technology

The Kinetic Breaching Tool™ is a revolutionary new forced entry tool that bridges the gaps between traditional mechanical, ballistic, and explosive entry techniques. Designed from the ground up for breaching, the tool utilizes a self- contained semi-automatic firing mechanism that has no projectiles or explosive pressures exiting the tool.

The KBT™ utilizes a proprietary blank cartridge to deliver up to 850 ft/lb of kinetic energy through a steel ram or over 70 Ksi of cutting force through steel teeth. Unlike explosive or ballistic breaching, all of the force is mechanically driven through the head of the tool. This means that no projectile or explosive energy leaves the device except for the force through the tool's head.

KEY FEATURES:
  • Powered by .45 caliber blanks
  • Utilizes 8-round cylinder for multiple breaches
  • Stainless steel frame with rigid cast urethane handle
  • Four head options for multiple mission capabilities
  • Swap heads in seconds with quick disconnect V-band clamp
  • Tool resets in less than a second
  • Less than 115 dB noise report

KBT IMPACT RAM

The KBT™ utilizes a proprietary blank cartridge to deliver up to 850 ft/lb of kinetic energy through the steel RAM head. The force is mechanically driven through the RAM, which creates a 2.5" breaching impact of the internal plate to defeat most doors and walls. No projectile or explosive energy leaves the device except for the force of the RAM, which resets in less than a second for multiple breaches.

KEY FEATURES:
  • Hardened impact steel ram with 2.5" plate travel
  • Delivers up to 850 ft./lbs. of force
  • Breaches metal security screen doors
  • Defeats outward opening steel doors in steel frame
  • Capable of porting cinder block walls
  • 115 dB noise report
  • 28 lbs. total tool weight

KBT CHOP

The KBT™ utilizes the same blank cartridge to deliver over 70 Ksi of cutting force through the steel teeth of the CHOP head. Using a pivoting jaw and impact-resistant, hardened teeth, the CHOP is capable of cutting up to 3/4" steel bars, locks, cables, chains, rebar, and wrought iron to gain rapid entry during high-risk operations.

KEY FEATURES:
  • Integrates with all KBT breaching tools
  • Delivers over 70 Ksi cutting force
  • Hardened cutting teeth are designed for hundreds of cuts
  • Teeth can be replaced with a single hex wrench
  • Defeats steel and iron up to 3/4"
  • Resets in less than a second for subsequent cuts
  • 100 dB noise report
  • 32 lbs. total tool weight

KBT RIP

The KBT™ RIP utilizes the same proprietary blank cartridge to deliver up to 850 ft./lbs. of impact force to create an anchor point through difficult barriers. Once deployed, the RIP anchors securely behind the target while leaving an exterior attachment point for a vehicle or pulling system. With a 10,000 lb. tensioned safe working load, RIP provides a powered solution for removing barriers such as garage doors.

KEY FEATURES:
  • Creates an anchor point through existing barriers
  • Delivers up to 850 ft./lbs. of force
  • Anchors securely behind the target material
  • Provides an accessible exterior attachment point
  • 10,000 lb. tensioned safe working load
  • Designed for vehicle or mechanical pulling systems

KBT PUNCH

The KBT™ PUNCH utilizes the same proprietary blank cartridge to deliver up to 850 ft./lbs. of impact force through a 4" combined shatter-and-cut face. Designed to defeat laminated glass, the PUNCH simultaneously shatters the exterior glass and cuts through the internal polymer layer. It can also port drywall to rapidly create openings for diversionary devices, observation, or rifle access.

KEY FEATURES:
  • 4" diameter combined shatter-and-cut impact face
  • Delivers up to 850 ft./lbs. of force
  • Defeats laminated and hurricane-rated glass
  • Capable of porting vehicle windows and drywall
  • Shatters glass while cutting the internal polymer layer
  •  Creates diversionary device, observation, and rifle ports
