However, that would mean you'd need more than six keys, surely - you'd have to make a set with 0 and 10 cuts in several relative positions (although MACS would limit the number of combinations and therefore the number of keys you'd need).
No - 2 big things.
1: As other high speed photo/video has shown, it isn't the simple newton's cradle effect people describe/assume. The amount of force you're putting into the tiny brass parts of the lock is far more than they can really tolerate. Think 2 or 3 collisions per strike, not one smooth collision. So - as long as your pin can get back below the shear line, you can bump the lock. Really a bump key is a poor man's pick gun. They do exactly the same thing. Even the PR material stated that they could bump the lock when it only had a 10 pin and no 0 pin. That tells us immediately that the only pin we need to compromise is the 0.
2: You're not going to try to bump this lock w/a 999 key, you're going to use 10 cuts, which people already use to bump normal cylinders. And the key that is pulled out/sprung/hot glued/whatever you do to get it to pull out a bit after each strike isn't going to slide the key so far that the prior peak will interfere with the 10.
Not that it doesn't need to be tested, but again, they state explicitly in their PR that they were able to bump their lock when it had just a 10 pin, so they are telling us that all we need to do is attack their 1 pin.
