  Barbed wire Summary
Likewise, the wire material was quicker, easier, and cheaper to install than was wood fencing, which often had to be imported from the east; it was more practical than rocks for stone walls, since these had to be shipped from the east or south and required great amounts of labor to install.
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.
It was evident that the barbed wire was real during the Hardcore Homecoming professional wrestling tour with one particular instance in which wrestler Terry Funk got his arm caught in the wire and had to be very carefully cut out of the barbed wire in order not to cut his veins in his arm.

Three twist barbed wire, the form of barbed wire used in the war, is made by means of a very ingenious machine the object of which is to plait three galvanised wires.
During the continuous movement of the twist, the wire carrying the barb advances five to eleven centimetres, in the case of close set or ordinary barbs by the aid of a cam, and the following barb is only wound on the same wire when it has traversed the mechanically adjusted distance of pitch or separation.

 TWO MORE BULLETS FOR GENERAL ABRAMS: 120mm Ammunition Upgrades
The M830A1 is equipped with a two position fuse in the nose of the 2 pound shaped charge warhead, to enable it to be used against both helicopters (proximity mode) as well as ground threats (contact mode.) To improve the round's concrete-penetrating capabilities, the two-position fuse was removed and replaced with a hardened steel cap.
Though the M908 was specifically developed to reduce obstacles and rubble concrete structures and fortifications, it is also effective against soft-skinned and light-armored vehicles, such as trucks, armored personnel carriers and light tanks.
While the M908 is an excellent demolition round and its introduction will greatly enhance M1A1's utility in urban warfare, obstacle reduction is but one of the many missions combat engineers are expected to perform under fire during a time of war.

 BARBED WIRE "The Devil's Rope" & Bangalore Torpedoes
Glidden was eventually declared the rightful inventor of barbed wire and he went on to become one of the most successful and richest men in the United States.
This was shown to be largely ineffective as the explosions merely threw the barbed wired coils into the air, only to have them fall back to earth in even more tangled and impenetrable masses; later on in the war, the introduction of armoured barbed wire made it even more difficult to destroy.
The example shown here is for a concertina barbed wire obstacle supported by star pickets about 6 to 7 feet high (1.8 to 2 metres) and about 3 to 7 feet deep (1 to 2 metres deep).

 MINE-BLASTER: The APOBS Breaching Weapon
And while the torpedo is effective against single impulse anti-personnel mines, it's only marginally successful against high-tensile strength wire obstacles, which would necessitate the need for multiple torpedoes to breech wire.
Essentially, the APOBS is a rocket that is fired over the minefield or wire obstacle, sending a 150-foot long line charge with fragmentation grenades.
Heavily armored and armed with a large caliber, low-velocity demolition gun, a 728-like vehicle could approach obstacles with relative impunity (where the most common threat would be the RPG light anti-tank weapon) and reduce the obstacle without exposing the crew.

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 16.4-foot length prevents smaller enemy personnel from crawling through the wire because the coils are closer together.
The collapsed concertina is tied with plain-wire bindings attached to the quarter points of a coil at one end of the concertina.

Razorwire refers to constantine wire, which is barbed wire with small thin razor blades instead of barbs; it is designed to maim people and is very nasty stuff.
Concertina wire generically refers to barbed wire that is coiled for deployment as an obstacle or barrier.
The following approach produces a wire obstacle that abstracts concertina, constantine, razorwire, etc. I call it razorwire on this page to be consistent with the 40k terminology, although I suppose that technically it is concertina constantine wire.
