You ever consider taking out 5 or 6 sheets of cheap plywood and setting in an arc behind the volunteers? That way you could get a good idea of the actual spread and dispersion of the shot.
As a former US Army Combat Engineer, I approve the use of your explosives. You should do a Bangalore on an 11 row.... pretty impressive use of explosives right there.
Sexual harrassment at 3:32.... Great video. I must admit I had a bit of a different expectation with the BB spread pattern. Great channel, please keep up the good work and excellent content.
@@pebo8306 He's not a tank expert, yet he's done a collaboration with Drive Tanks. Destructive Devices are a weird section of the NFA that even some ATF agents are unfamiliar with. I found that out when at a gun show, the shop I was with, bought an underbarrel "grenade" launcher that was completely devoid of markings. I'm relatively familiar with launchers, but no expert. I looked it over and saw the barrel wasn't rifled and determined it was a 37mm flare launcher, not a 40mm grenade launcher. Within 5 minutes of purchasing it, the ATF agents setup across the room came over and wanted to look at it. They looked at it, went off and looked up the regs and came back and said it was kosher. I thought it was odd (and sad) they had to look up the regulations. They said they don't see many DDs.
LunchBox Leftovers I think one of them was in ordnance (or something related to explosives) in the British army. He mentioned it in a video where they had det cord and shock tube wrapped around some mannequins.
Claymores are made to have a spread of fragments 50 meters wide and 2 meters tall at a distance of 50 meters away. Maybe if you put the targets further away you'd have a more even kill zone.
In production claymores and other shrapnel bombs the shrapnel is mixed in with resin and molded. Also you could separate the explosives and shrapnel with something like a shotgun wad. Usually a wood/thick cardboard/ or metal plate between shrapnel and explosives
Back 40 years ago I opened an insert cluster bomb sub munition, packed it full of C4, and detonated it with a blasting cap. Didn't produce much of a pattern but it decimated a 1/4" plywood humanoid ten feet away. I recovered a couple of pellets from the oak tree behind the plywood. Don't know if it was from the bristance of C4, or the impact velocity, but the pellets were somewhat oval shaped.
The manual on the claymore says specifically don't attach it to any object like a tree. The claymore is designed to be fired using its legs at ground level well away from any solid objects. Anything close behind it is certain to disrupt the shrapnel pattern.
You should put the mannequins a lot closer to it because there was hardly any destruction at all... It would be cool to set up some huge sheets of drywall a like half the distance the mannequins were so you can get an idea of the shot patterning
heh heh roomba goes *BOOM* btw now i want to see a collab with the slow mo guys that would be awesome and as always thanks to ordnance lab for not letting our memes be dreams
I'd like to see a vacuum sealer used to pack the bearings instead of epoxy. Epoxy is often used so things don't rattle or shift. Vacuum bags would keep it quiet while allowing easier dispersion. Also, from the footage it looks like the transition/reaction is traveling from one side of the device to the other causing a directional pattern to the blast.
since you guys do demolition, you should get some RPG-7s for when demolitions go south and you need some precision explosives application from a distance.
Regarding getting ahold of someone with a fancy slowmo camera: Destin from SmarterEveryDay has one and you might interest him with the potential to record explosions in general or regarding waves (sound, ground, etc) OR Gavin from the SloMo guys - it's basically his career, and they've done explosion/military stuff before!
Just an amatuer observation. The arc is pretty short and the pellet distribution is uneven. Also, the explosive load appears light. But, great effort for a redesign. The reason the development took so long was the pellets and matrix are more magic than science. In the day, the Miszanay-Schardin effect was not well modelled mathematically. So each variant had to be field tested. As I recall, the steel in the bearings has a certain malleablity(softness). The explosion (1.5 lb C4) deforms the pellets into bullet shapes about .22 cal. This shape penetrates flesh better than round shapes. The point of the bb matrix is to insure the arc spread and the deformation.
Love your videos! Also I wanted to ask could you guys not put a thick(quarter inch?) steel plate with a slight curve behind the explosives to direct the blast on the intended area? Just an idea
Have you guys ever thought of doing a collab with the slow-mo guys? They've done shaped charges, bit I can imagine a clay more shredding targets at a few thousand few would look incredible, and give you guys alot of useful data too
As I was watching your video I couldn't help but wonder if flechettes would behave differently at longer ranges. I also couldn't help but wonder if flechettes made of tungston carbide of various sizes would have better performance as far as penetrating power.
Properly placed claymores tend to discourage uninvited visitors during the night. They tend to be dragged off by friends who survive the initial blast and subsequent M60 dosage.
1 - they're designed to be used with something behind them to maximize outward blast/ shrapnel effects. 2 - anneal the steel BBS to a mild steel, softening them helps in their destructive capabilities. 3 - make sure both detonators are of equal length in their wiring. If 1 is longer than it will detonate 1st thus skewing the blast to 1 side. It happens in a fraction of a second but that's all it takes to throw your shot completely off. Think of it like pulling a trigger, good even straight pressure otherwise your hot is pulled to the left/ down at the target. Its the same for this if only1 detonator is used or wires are uneven the bast is pulled 1 way or the other.👍
The term grenade comes from the French word for pomegranate. Grenades were first used hundreds of years ago in a pomegranate shaped vessel full of black powder. Dr. Shrapnel filled these with musket balls making them more deadly. So, absolutely. Not entirely sure which powder would be better, but I suspect black powder would be best.
Get ahold of black rifle coffee I bet they would film slow mo for you . I d love to see someone build and set off the fire frag from ash series of books.
speaking of stuff I saw on the internet have ya'll seen the guy who built Panzerfausts? Pretty simple, yet fairly effective. Ain't no RPG, but should hold it's own against Molotovs, Boombas and BP pipe bombs. Just steel tubing, warheads, a trigger mech, and then black powder and rifle or shotgun primers to fuel it.
It looks like you’re not ensuring an even spread of projectiles across the surface of the explosive. If you can get an even layer of the ball bearings or whatever you’re using, all across the explosive’s surface. Then you should get an even spread coming out. You might even try something cheap and weak like masking tape to keep the projectiles in position.
Hey fellas good job. Correct me if im wrong but i believe standard claymore have 90+ .32cal bearings in them with a sheet of c4 adheared behind the bearings. Your aim looked a bit off. Does your 3d printed clay have the aiming point on it? Im gonna send money because i do understand the need. Good day to you guys.
I know former airborne that trained to use claymores to start the party. Known a few more soldiers that initiated with m60, m240, and m249 depending upon when they served. None are closed bolt. Met some that fought in Serbia that initiated with RPG. One from Syria that started ambushes with a PKM.

We are going to put up butcher paper across the projectile arc from now on. That way, we can show the projectile pattern and is super cheap to reset.
My question is when this becomes commercially avable for "Home defence"
With how this civil war / Communist revolution is going...........
Probably soon
It's in the works
The home defense organization is working on it
Never
Print one at home
If you look at the birds eye video you see that you don’t have the claymore aimed at both of the targets. You have it aimed more toward the guy.
👍
Let's make a petition to have "Warning: Contains Ligma Balls" wrote on the claymore
Y'all should build an incendiary claymore. Like a dragon's breath shotgun round but in a claymore
An armour piercing incendiary claymore
Pretty boring if you ask me. I mean yeah fire cool but pretty ineffective
@@ClayThunder think of it as the 6.5 grendel of claymores
I mean, like tannerite is not practical in combat either
@@ClayThunder It would probably be cool to use on feral hogs

Thank you for bringing all the boog memes to life. Edit: you need to do dipcan tannerite next
Slo Mo Guys and Ordnance Lab would be a sweet combo
I agree
For real.
yesssss
I'd like to see you guys do a collaboration with Ian at Forgotten Weapons to discuss things like destructive devices and whatever else.
Sexual harrassment at 3:32....
Great video. I must admit I had a bit of a different expectation with the BB spread pattern. Great channel, please keep up the good work and excellent content.

Claymores are made to have a spread of fragments 50 meters wide and 2 meters tall at a distance of 50 meters away. Maybe if you put the targets further away you'd have a more even kill zone.
They also have pretty significant backblast

Y'all need to hook up with the Modern Rogue and their science adjacent antics. They're out of Texas. I think around Austin.
MR + Explosives = No more counter to reset.

This guy is the petersripol of explosions, wait a minute do I smell a collaboration video of flying things and boom powders?
You should put the back of the mine against something hard like a tree stump or a small block wall then set it off.
Could you guys do an EFP video? Maybe a "simplified efp" with flat steel bar as the liner?
We are working on EFPs. We have 8-10 projects currently in production that we are trying to get done and not totally nuke.
That's was a long tomorrow man that was a boss boom

It was more aimed to the right. You can see this with the drone footage.

GLOOORY GLORY CLAYMORE ROOOOOMBA!

1:31 more like when jodi is coming in the gate 😂😂😂
Oh no not SHARP. Only some will know the struggle
Have you guys ever thought of doing a collab with the slow-mo guys?
They've done shaped charges, bit I can imagine a clay more shredding targets at a few thousand few would look incredible, and give you guys alot of useful data too
Swat teams all across Texas are gonna start using this
have you considered 3D printing in dimples or arms to hold the ball bearings would make loading much faster too you could pour them in then shake.
I love this awsome channel ! When wil you guys make a robotic lawnmower IED
As I was watching your video I couldn't help but wonder if flechettes would behave differently at longer ranges. I also couldn't help but wonder if flechettes made of tungston carbide of various sizes would have better performance as far as penetrating power.
They do. Tanks use them for anti personnel. Also make wicked holes in soft skinned vehicles
Hi, nice bang. How about constructing a working replica of a WW2 S mine (bouncingBetty) and comparing the damage on your volunteers?😄
I wonder if Ian at Forgotten Weapons would be interested in filming the slow mo?
MORE CLAYMORE ROOMBA. MORE CLAYMORE ROOMBA MORE CLAYMORE ROOMBA
Properly placed claymores tend to discourage uninvited visitors during the night. They tend to be dragged off by friends who survive the initial blast and subsequent M60 dosage.
How are the ball bearings/BBs secured in place? If they are fixed with adhesive, that could be the problem.
SHARP!!
I love your videos
"Ah shit i just sharped the dude on accident"
Aaaaand, my sides are also now a threat to the iss
Congrats on 1m channel wide views and your recent "explosion" in popularity.
when you pack claymore insert an iron plate first then c4 and after that iron balls .. and kaboom... now it will work as intended
the real ones have an aluminum liner behind the charge
Yall should get intouch with: The Slow Mo Guys! The have great slow motion equipment and they can deliver quality videos and content.
I want to see improvised armor versus improvised explosive!
Do you think ball size would effect lethality? I mean if you went smaller you might get more holes but bigger is also not a bad choice.
SHARP!!!!!

the thing is with real claymore you only use 1 blasting cap not 2
Looks like the whole blast went off to the right and the male mannequin just got the edge of it.
Should hook up with Warped perception
Can you guys test out if black powder or gun powder (which ever is better) can work for grenades and claymores effectively?

the BBs need to be cast into something like epoxy to get uniform and higher acceleration

try diferent material like tetrabrik against explosions

hell i'm of the mindset all ambushes should start with explosives. sow true cchaos and destruction then start the main event
What about a 12 gauge rumba
You do know you have to aim Claymore mines right? It seems like you're fully unaware of that fact.
Why is it called plastic explosive?
Because plasticizers are used to make them moldable and more stable. Thus plastic explosives or plastique.
You're basically saying you missed with a Claymore.
If the blast went into the ground, why don't you just turn it over and it will go up, just a thought.
Can you paint them in a Hawaiian print?
