PFC_Mike 2 Posted August 29, 2002 Or were they at any point, by the US military from 1980 onward? Also, do or did the Russians use napalm or similar gasoline-based flame weapons in Chechnya? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warin 0 Posted August 29, 2002 As far as I know, they still use the Claymore. I was reading one of the US Army FM's, a section on the policy of the use of land mines. And they state that command detnoated AP mines like the Claymore are still approved for use. And this was a recent revision of the FM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 1 Posted August 29, 2002 In other words yes, claymores are still in use today, and they shall probably be using it for yrs to come. Its a very powerful weapon against anyone. Until they can get the size down with the same explosive charge. They aint small! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can you retire a weapon with concise instructions like that? <span id='postcolor'> Hah! that's what you think, I saw it happen more than once in basic training. "Private, is that claymore employed properly?" "Yes drill sergeant." "Bullshit, then why the fuck is it pointed toward us? You're about as fucked up as a football bat." Yes, claymores are still very common place. A staple infantry weapon, no grunt goes into combat without them. Fun fun fun to daisy chain them a hit the clacker before the platoon sergeant says to and make him deaf for about 2 hours. You can also make homemade claymores with: Det cord C-4 plastic soap dish 100 mph tape various and sundry shrapnel from previous demo shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Othin 0 Posted August 29, 2002 "This side towards enemy" is funny, but it is even funnier what it says on the other side. "Do Not Eat" Before I decided to go active duty I was in the National Guard, when we did training with dummy Claymores they weren't movement triggered. We had a wire running from the claymore to a little box that the person on watch held. When someone was coming you would squeeze the handle on the box a few times to send a small electrical pulse to the claymore detonating it. I think it is either platoon or full metal jacket where you can see this in effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
