Dunno if I spelled it right. But this is a idea for a new explosion. It's a mine shooting lots of balls in all directions. So you can stick it on the walls or floor. And when someone gets too close he activates the claymore.
Small blast radius and small damage. But it spawns projectiles that fly randomly in all directions. And what I've seen from the BW shotguns how many projectiles come out of that, I don't think this is going to be a problem.

The fun thing about the Claymore would be that if you are sniping somewhere, and your friend walks over a claymore, a little metal ball can fly right at your direction damaging you a little. Lets say that the claymore trows about 200 projectiles around, and each one of a damage of 5 if hit in chest.
Hehe, I don't think it's smart to drive a tank over it xD

Maybe give the vehicles better protection against the projectiles. Normally, if you shoot with normal bullets on a heavily armored tank it wouldn't do much, would it? So those metal balls wouldn't do much either.

Actually, claymore mines have a metal plate that directs the blast (and the shrapnel) in an expanding 60 degree cone. Imagine them as a ridiculously powerful shotgun blast.

well its about the same... !mistrust
So just see it as a shotgun mine !lol

Ok I've edited it, now there's 'balls' instead of 'pins'

a claymore would be interesting...not much different than the current laser mine...but maybe with some deep thought it could be truely unique..maybe it holds like 500 pellets and each of them do 3 damage..it would be enough to kill anyone who is directly the blast cone and severely harm the others, also the pellets could bounce off of walls once or twice..so now we have a mine that can shoot around corners...useful, no?

also if claymores are put in there must be a physical wire to trigger them...or timer/hand held detonator, the wire should have to be strung across the hallway or w/e manually, so it would take some time to set up, but if you do it right it could really be worth it

Yeah something with a little wire, so it is possible to avoid triggering. Only the wire shouldn't be clearly visible.
Clear enough so you see it when you're paying attention. But invisible enough to make you look over when you're running down some corridors.
First, you have the Claymore in your hand. You can place it on the wall or floor and stuff.
Then when you placed it, you're holding the end of a rope, and the rope is from the claymore to your hand visible to you and others. If you walk to far away, you trigger the claymore, because the rope is too short.
You can also stick the rope on a wall, so anyone walks by and touches the rope.... BOOM xD


And then I have another idea with Grenades.
Trip wires! A grenade with a little rope, so when you trip over the rope it pulls the pin out. BOOM xD
