Some of the claymore stuff could probably be pursued under fieldcraft forum?? I agree w/rwtbkk on use, especially by a small recce team in certain terrain/conditions.
Some teams have been able to blow perimeter claymores, scat, and throw the time-fused claymores out to delay pursuit - without firing a single shot that would allow the enemigos to pinpoint location...the varieties of use are astounding-as are the variations (of claymore device). Sometimes the m18 was too big/bulky to carry in quantity - we made our own as well as drew on those small/thin ones in blk stocks so a small team could expand options...
nothing sweeter than being a couple klicks away, hearing your present go boom, and listen to the boogereaters start a firefight with the thicket you left over 30 minutes ago...
