Does any one else keep a center punch on them or in there BOB. I have had one since I came in the service. It is small and inexpensive and is easy to use to pop any windows especially those that are tempered.

I carry a Glock 30 for the same purpose. If it needs to be quieter, I probably shouldn't be doin it.

ETA, My Microtech knife I usually carry has a carbide striker on the end of it. I've never used it but the instructions say it works.

I also sould have added that it keepsfrom damageing or wasteing any weapons or ammo. Which in combat or a survival situtation is life or death if you damage or destroy your primary weapon.

Field Expedient method. Large rocks or bricks.

I like lean and mean. That would be one more thing to keep track of and carry around. Weight adds up.

Have always carried one on me sinceI came in backin the 80's. The one I carry now weights in at 1-2 ozs if that, and I carry it on my rigg. Carrryed it in Iraq andother countrys and has come in handy several times. As with anything thatanyone carrys it is subject tothe end user.
