I can’t remember the last time I got this nerdy about a gun!

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Anyone who has ever put on a FIST helmet knows - there is a fine line between masochistic and suicidal.
@SouthNarc wielding a collapsible sledgehammer is on the suicidal side of the line. The only appropriate response is to run...or collapse into the fetal position and beg for @Paul Sharp to save you.
Nobody wants a sledgehammer to the taint.
For those of us with much smaller budgets, for multi-function hammers, I have kept an earlier version of this in my truck, and patrol car, for a while:

The balance/heft does not inspire me to want to Name it, or to pack it around, in a daypack, but I reckoned I’d put it out there, for y’all’s consideration.
Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.
Don’t tread on volcanos!
With my right rotator cuff being so gimpy, I should carry a Remington Tac-14 as a breaching tool. Now, to search for the perfect pack/bag, to carry a 300 BLK AR pistol, plus a 12 gauge pump “Other” firearm.
Actually, I have one, an Eberlestock Big Trick, which can swallow a 26” “Other,” without the need to extend the “tail” portion of the weapon sleeve. It is a bit big, however, for an urban day pack.

I'm pretty sure - if you were to pay your 5 bucks for an AOW stamp - you could mount your Tac-14 to your AR-pistol in a Masterkey-type setup. In fact, you could even go shorter than the 14" barrel, because it's an AOW. The AR pistol - not having a stock - means the AR's pistol grip becomes the shotgun's pistol-grip. So you don't run afoul of SBS regulations.With my right rotator cuff being so gimpy, I should carry a Remington Tac-14 as a breaching tool.

I'm not saying you should do this. I'm just saying if you're gonna carry a shotgun for breaching an AR shot defense you might as well go all in, dude.
True. That is, however, quite a bit of weight, concentrated in one weapon, so not much of a problem for a muscular SWAT type, for running a raid, that is over and done within minutes. If I have to bail, due to my vehicle being damaged, in conditions that I would want a weapon in my hands, the weight of any one weapon would soon matter, very much. Plus, two separate long firearms would mean that I could hand one to my wife. She usually carries a handgun, but rarely a long weapon.)I'm pretty sure - if you were to pay your 5 bucks for an AOW stamp - you could mount your Tac-14 to your AR-pistol in a Masterkey-type setup.

Edited to add: I do have a Remington Tac-14 Marine Magnum. As soon as I realized that my LEOSA-conferred handgun carry privileges might expire, during the COVID shut-down, I started shopping for one of these “Other Firearms,” as Texas law is quite long-gun-friendly. A Tac-14 is actually only slightly shorter than my old 870P, with its stock swapped for a Pachmayr Vindicator pistol grip, as the “Shockwave” grip has to extend far enough to keep the weapon over 26” OAL, with the Tac-14’s 14” barrel.

I think a cordless grinder and a few zip disks along with a light chain and a padlock or some 3/16 Amsteel line might suit the LARP better than smashing your way in or breaching with a Masterkey. Would take a little longer but you'd be able to secure the entry behind you instead of leaving a gaping 'He went this way' sign.
Rex, you're killing my fun here.
I'm with you, it's a relatively impractical tool. And in fact, we basically see breachers opting for pistol-grip shotguns for that type of breaching and then moving to a rifle or buckshot within the shotgun, instead of a 'masterkey' type setup.
The breachpens that @underhook linked to - https://breachpen.com/ - Are pretty interesting - given they look like the size and weight of roughly a road flare.
Those, plus a lightweight - pry/breaching bar - like the County Comm EOD - https://countycomm.com/collections/v...s-breacher-bar could be a good combo for entry that doesn't weigh a lot. Add a window punch and you've probably got all the bases covered.
Or use a collapsible sledgehammer and pry tool. Break glass, break locks, pry open doors, destroy cars, fight The Hulk as you cosplay Thor. Really the hammer is where it is at.
