Just my .02 on claymores. I think they are a hellofa weapon for small teams. We used them extensively in a lot of different ways.

One thing we learned to employ them very close to the team by offsetting the firing angle from the team. We used them with 1 minute time fuses for when you are being pursued. I especially liked to wire them up with WP for nighttime use..!

The Karen Army manufactures their own and uses them extensively against the Burmese Army. The do a lot of claymore ambushes. I agree that sometimes the leathality is a bit overrated, but usually it has to do with the method of deployment (i.e. not picking a clear shot area).

I certainly would never go out without several of them!
