In the movie "panic room" with Jodie Foster, she seeks refuge in a secure room in her house while the thieves are entering her house.
Well, this type of product exists in Belgium.
The company, Metal Quartz from Peruwelz, presented its Bunkerkit
designed for the banking and commercial sector
but it can be easily adapted for individual use
thanks to its modular aspect.
One its functions could be used as a closet in a children room for example.
The useful part is the closet and we know
that the door as well as the entire room inside is safe
in case of an intrusion.
We can safely wait inside the room until the thieves are gone
or till the arrival of law enforcement service, to leave the room.
For the smallest Bunkerkit, the price starts at 5.000 Euros.
It's a way of protecting against tiger kidnapping for example
or to protect your goods.
To demonstrate the efficiency of its product,
the company decided to use drastic measures:
a shooting session
with real bullets
to test the shield.
The overall of the Bunkerkit is
the same used in the banks.
The big difference lies in the door,
where there are higher requirements
on the banking level.
There are accessories in the Bunkerkit
which are specific to the banks.
On the security level,
we are able today to delay intrusion
and we are bullet proof.
From a 357 Magnum,
passing by a 9mm or even a Kalashnikov,
revolvers but also war weapons,
none managed to pass through.
A slightly different shooting session for Daniel Dekaise,
even though the shooting center from Wavre,
attracts in their installations all kind of different profiles.
Daniel Dekaise, Multi class shooting center -- Wavre
It's mostly a civil activity from a club that has 2400 members,
12 lanes until 100m and
this smaller shooting lane was conceived to receive police forces
that use them for their trainings during the week and
at night it's for hunting and amateurs.
During a shooting session like this one,
the security norms are very strict.
It's an opportunity to demonstrate that the weapon owners
perfectly know what they are doing.
The rules for wearing a weapon are well approved.
We can possess a weapon when we have
the authorization and
when it's a need.
We can shoot with a weapon when we are
part of a shooting club and
we can hunt with a weapon when
we have a license for it.
For sentimental and historical reasons,
we keep a weapon from our dad that we don't use.
It's legitimate for sentimental reason to keep a weapons that
belonged to our grandfather and
that our father received and
we as grandchild wish to keep.
The Bunkerkit haven't been sold yet to individuals but
it's selling really well to the banking sector.
400 agencies in Belgium and Luxemburg are
already equipped with a Bunkerkit.
