hey Helev, i'm fairly new here. but nice to know ya.  those pop-eye's are mean little mines, they use a pressure sensitive trigger and the mine has a hydraulic launching system, so when you step on it (instead of stepping off of it), the mine jumps like 4-5 feet into the air and detonates, showering the area with steel ball bearings at face level, instead of groung level. One could takeout a platoon of guys (about 44 men), if they were in tightly packed squads. assuming some one was unlucky enough to step on one.  |

who cares what explosive it has in it?  BB= you step on it, it jumps a few feet in the air, it kills you. Pop i's = you step on it, it jumps a few feet in the air, it kills you. i don't think anyone who is unlucky enough to actually step on one is gonna be worried about what explosive is in it  . |

true, but if you're near the guy who stepped on it, you would be.

er no i can quite honestly tell you that if i was near someone who stepped on one, "i wonder what type of explosive it was" would be the furthest thing from my mind  |

er no i can quite honestly tell you that if i was near someone who stepped on one, "i wonder what type of explosive it was" would be the furthest thing from my mind just one more thing, then i'll shut up. claymores are far deadlier than normal fragmentary devices. greater range, penetrating power (a ball bearing can go through people like a hot knife through butter), and they don't stop with going through a single body (well, almost never), so no such thing as being sheltered by the guy next to you. Total devastation, only thing it won’t go through is an AFV, or a heavier light tank (heavier then M-2 Bradley’s, or a Sheridan). those are the best light tanks the U.S. has. |
