Can Scorpion CX-5 be picked?

A very hard pick, must I say. They have countermillings (Chrispy thinks they are called "counterborings", but ASSA says otherwise ) in the plug that lock into the special spool pins when tension is applied.

there are probably very few people in the world with the skill it would take to pick one of these

It was actually me that said they are counterbores, the proper engineering term for that set up is a counterbore, a counter milling is a name given to that lock feature by a pen pusher who didnt have a clue and thought it sounded good on the bumpf you get with the lock but im not being anal about it just informing.

Its a flat bottomed hole with a smaller hole continueing through the centre of that hole.

I was going to rebuttle but I realized how stupid we sound.

Well, from a security standpoint, it is a secure lock. Although, I'm not quite sure how the masterkeying would work (ie is it factory setup or what), it would probably only be used in extreme situations.
From a locksmiths standpoint, it would be a bugger to pick. I haven't gotten a chance to play around with one of these, but since it is similar to the Primus, then the difficulty is unreal. As I recall (I could be wrong here) didn't Scanlock make one similiar to the Scorpion??

With a drill and a few spare bits
