		The two-handed claymore seems to be an offshoot of Early Scottish medieval swords which had developed a distinctive style of a cross-hilt with downsloping arms that ended in spatulate swellings.
		Fairly uniform in style, the sword was set with a wheel pommel often capped by a crescent shaped nut and a guard with straight, down-sloping arms ending in quatrefoils and languets running down the center of the blade from the guard.
		This latter form of claymore can be seen in some forms of highland traditional dance as well as on the dress uniforms of British Army regiments drawn from the region.

		The claymore is essentially a Spring loaded, Electric (9v battery in the trigger unit) Airsoft firing replica of the US M18A1 claymore mine produced by a company in the states called Supercell Development Inc. The ASC7 Airsoft claymore has been on my radar for quite a while.
		The next step is to close the claymore and re-latch the trigger over the hinged front plate while holding the spring loaded arms down, which requires a bit of a effort but the metal re-enforcements on the front part of the claymore which touches the arms, makes this easier.
		After the mine is loaded and ready to go, insert the trigger wire, pull the safety pin while keeping your face away from the front of it (just in-case), and fall back to your hiding place and await your victim.

		The claymore is very accurate at the intended range and people know when they have been hit by it.
		Initially the claymore would not function, the slot that the release bar fits into wasn't large enough and was pressing on the bar, putting pressure on it and preventing it from freely unlatching.
		The claymore is very rugged and has withstood over 50 firings so far without any damage or any malfunction.

		This versatile direction mine was light weight highly effective and could be deployed as a command detonated anti personnel mine or electric ambush when set up as a boobytrap.
		The initial Claymore was a great looking replica being almost exactly the right weight (2 lbs) and looking so much like the actual mine you sure wouldn’t want to try shipping one in a commercial airplane (even in your checked luggage).
		Two Claymores was the standard issue for LRRP forces on patrol and two seems to be a reasonable standard for my airsoft Recondo guys.
