could you elaborate?

Although I wouldn't do it.

"Just as with other explosives, you need to apply some energy to C-4 to kick off the chemical reaction. Because of the stabilizer elements, it takes a considerable shock to set off this reaction; lighting the C-4 with a match will just make it burn slowly, like a piece of wood (in Vietnam, soldiers actually burned C-4 as an improvised cooking fire). Even shooting the explosive with a rifle won't trigger the reaction. Only a detonator, or blasting cap will do the job properly."

Roger that Missileer, I still wouldn't want to be around if someone decided to throw caution to the wind

All I need is refferece images. As in, Front, Side, Top and 3/4 views along with any logos and/or text. Like I mentioned earlier, I am trying to build 3D models (as in, video game) of these things so they can be used in a personal video game project I am working on. I have already built a lot of stuff, here are a few examples of my work...

So, as you can all see, in order to build accurate and convincing (computer generated) models, I need to see accurate references/pictures.

Note; I have about 80% of the refference images I need, thanks to all who helped!

Cheers!

Thanks for answering my question fellas

That's why you can put a round through a claymore and it won't detonate. They'd be a risky device to have in a defensive position if they could be detonated by rifle fire.

I love how there is always somebody on this forum less lazy than myself who will post sources and set the record straight on stuff. Bless you for your hard work sir.

But if the claymore was shot, would it stop working and fail those who placed it?

My game's storyline is set in the late 80s early 90s.
