	Razor wire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although it is sharper than the barbs of barbed wire, it is not actually razor sharp; the name "razor wire" is a slang term derived from a manufacturer's brand name.
		Unlike barbed wire, which usually is available only as plain steel or galvanised, barbed tape is also manufactured in stainless steel, to prevent the points from rusting to bluntness.
		Typically the core wire is galvanised and the tape is stainless, although fully stainless barbed tape is used for expensive permanent installations or underwater usage.

	Encyclopedia: Barbed wire
		Barbed wire is a type of fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strand(s).
		Wire fences were cheaper to erect than their alternatives and when they became widely available in the late 19th century in the United States they made it affordable to fence much bigger areas than before.
		Barbed tape or razor wire is a mesh of metal strips with sharp edges whose purpose it is to prevent passage by human beings.

	Concertina wire - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Concertina wire is a type of barbed wire or razor wire that is formed in large coils which can be expanded like a concertina.
		In conjunction with plain barbed wire and steel pickets, it is used to form military wire obstacles.
		Concertina wire packs flat for ease of transport, but can then be deployed as an obstacle much more quickly than ordinary barbed wire.

	Wire obstacle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the military science of fortification, wire obstacles are defensive obstacles made from barbed wire, barbed tape or concertina wire.
		Depending on the requirements and available resources, wire obstacles may range from a simple barbed wire fence in front of a defensive position, to elaborate patterns of fences, concertinas, "dragon's teeth" and minefields hundreds of metres thick.
		One example is the "low wire entanglement", which consists of irregularly placed stakes that have been driven into the ground with only some 15 cm (six inches) showing; the barbed wire is then wrapped and tightened on to these.

		In conjunction with road blocks, a wire fence or entanglement is often erected on each side of the road, and the gap between is closed by movable gates of various types.
		Often a coil of concertina wire is placed under a double apron fence, and sometimes another coil is placed along the top.
		Wire obstacles in depth are usually installed in places where they will be screened as far as possible against observation by opposing forces.

		Once the posts were in place reels of barbed wire - concertina wire - would be affixed to the post, unwound and attached to a second post (and often doubled back again to provide an additional layer of protection).
		Wire would generally be laid at sufficient distance from the front line trench to prevent the possibility of enemy infantry lobbing grenades into the trench and fleeing.
		Furthermore wire would commonly be laid in such a configuration as to draw advancing enemy troops into ideal range for enfilading machine gun fire.

	Concertina fencing entanglements
		Wires forming the coils are clipped together at intervals so the concertina opens to a cylindrical shape 16.4 to 49.2 feet long (depending on structure and build of opening) and 3 feet in diameter.
		The collapsed concertina is tied with plain-wire bindings attached to the quarter points of a coil at one end of the concertina.
		When opening the concertina, remove these bindings and twist them around the carrying handle for use in retying the concertina when it is again collapsed.

		As the leading sections approach a triple fence of concertina wire, they deploy into a line and lie down about 10 to 15 yards from the wire.
		If a strand of barbed wire runs through all the concertina loops, and is tied to the pickets, it may have to be cut.
		The time in which a forward platoon gets through wire varies from 6 seconds, in the case of troops encountering triple concertinas, to less than a minute in the case of troops encountering the combined wire obstacles.

	Concertina Springs - Concertina.net Discussion Forums
		The major disadvantage of mig wire for making springs is that it is usually mild steel, or something very similar and would probably not have enough springiness.
		The usual spec is 1/2 hard drawn brass wire, 0.025 ins dia, or use one of the phosphor bronze wires.
		My original posting was initially prompted by thinking that the MIG wire could be useful in an emergency since it is a fairly hard, copper-coated steel, but since it appeared to make a good spring I then wondered if anyone had used this wire to make springs as a permanent replacement.

	Chapter 4
		Barbed-tape concertina (standard concertina barbed tape) is a commercially manufactured wire coil of high-strength-steel barbed wire that is clipped together at intervals to form a cylinder.
		Barbed wire or tape may be used in appropriate situations to construct a tangle-foot obstruction either outside a single perimeter fence or in the area between double fences to provide an additional deterrent to intruders.
		The wire or tape should be supported on short metal or wooden pickets spaced at irregular intervals of 3 to 10 feet and at heights between 6 and 12 inches.
