The "soapdish" claymores were used by SOG and other teams like recon on the harbor sites overnight. Each man place a couple in front of thier postion or if time allowed would place at chest or head level. The soapdish if placed on the ground would only maim unless the victim bledout, which could happen. These were not mainly used for offensive but as a diversionary device to slow the enemy down.
I made mine from a sixties PX purchase soapdish, some 6 inch nails, modelling clay and some old screw and nails. I then sprayed it up. Its inert of course... |
