Abstract: Remotely opening a trunk of an automobile or other enclosure comprises an assembly configured to use an explosive force to explosively driven upward into the trunk of a vehicle forcing the trunk open. The opening is achieved without disturbing the contents of the trunk or creating excessive collateral damage. The assembly includes a steel flier plate positioned on a support structure that is propelled into an automobile trunk lid to cause the trunk to open. The steel flier plate is a flat, metal bar that has detonating cord affixed thereon. The steel flier plate is held by a support structure that is sufficient to position the blade in an appropriate location proximate to the trunk to be open. The support structure further includes a non-fragmenting backing board to tamp the explosive charge in the opposite direction of the horizontal blade.
