Ready to display!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M18 Claymore is a directional anti-personnel mine used by the U.S. military. It was named after the large Scottish sword by its inventor; Norman A. MacLeod. Unlike a conventional land mine, the Claymore is command-detonated and directional, meaning it is fired by remote-control, or trip wire, shooting a pattern of metal balls into the kill zone like a shotgun. The Claymore fires steel balls out to about 100 meters within a 60° arc in front of the device. It is used primarily in ambushes and as an anti-infiltration device against enemy infantry; just perfect to place on a desktop to keep unwanted visitors out of your office.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45316044947525,"sku":"ONJR25MYBG007","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR25MYBG007__01.jpg?v=1783524419","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-vietnam-war-m68-claymore-mine-training-kit-with-canvas-carry-bag-inert-12","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
