The (other kind of) Master Key

So today (umm...the 19th since this is getting posted later than today) I forgot to bring my keys out with me when I left for school. Here I am sitting in front of my door, still slightly damp from the rain, and playing with Python on my notebook. At least I have something to do for the next couple of hours.

I've tried picking my own door's lock on multiple occasions (I used to forget my keys a lot), and of course that didn't work out. Library cards, bobby pins, and paper clips don't work as well as Hollywood would suggest.

This so called "Master Key" is about the size of a hidden pistol, so it ideally fits in your hand with the barrel protruding a bit farther than your palm. Wait, did I just say barrel? Yes I just did. Surprise surprise, it's a palm sized shotgun. The barrel would probably be about... .4 cm in diameter? It'll have to be about 3 cm in length to make sure you get a decent spread. But don't worry, through the magic of non existent nanotechnology and advanced ballistics I'll develop some sort of super duper buck shot that can obliterate tumblers in one go.

So obviously you slide the barrel in just like you would any other key and let 'er rip. Then all you have to do is pick what's left of the sliding lock from what's left of your door and enter. High end models will include a side mounted spare lock holder so you can patch it up once you're done.

The handy thing about it's size is that you can easily conceal it so you don't scare the pants off of some near sighted elderly woman with the vaguely pistol shaped master-key-explosive-lock-removing-shotgun. If you are to ever about to be mugged you can load it with some more potent buckshot to defend yourself. Make it incendiary shells just to be safe. With explosive ordinance packed in. And mini-EMP bursts (now that's how you think like a genius). Maybe this can be one of those god guns Henry was trying to invent.
