I have a player asking about shock lock breaching type rounds (and an underbarrel shotgun to fire them, but that's another topic) and wanted me to come up with stats. I'm thinking something along the lines of explosive or APDS, but treat as explosive in contact while removing the penetrating weapon rules. Make them only for shotguns.

That should make a nice dent without giving them more power against non-barrier targets. What say y'all?

shock lock?

This is what they are:

"Shock Lock Rounds
These slugs are composed of ceramic and metal composite that disintegrates upon impact so that bystanders are not injured by bullet fragments. Designed to shatter a door's lock or hinge, the Barrier Rating of a door is reduced by half (round down) against shock lock rounds. Against other targets, treat shock lock rounds as standard explosive rounds.

pretty much like the opposite of frangable rounds

I think I saw these in 4e.  Should be convertable.

4E "Arsenal", p. 35. Yet another thing that Run & Gun (in)conveniently forgot about.

Shock Lock Rounds: These slugs are made of a ceramic
and metal composite designed to fragment and disintegrate upon
impact. Shock lock rounds are designed to shatter a door’s lock or
hinge and halve the Barrier ratings of doors or similar barriers when
used to destroy them (see Destroying Barriers, p. 157, SR4). Against
other targets, treat shock lock rounds as standard explosive rounds.
