Do any of you have a pic of claymore triggers? I need to know how to build one for my Vietnam diorama.
Thanks.

Thanks, do you have an idea of what the trigger looks like?

Kind of like a hand held stapler only OD green, a little fatter (more square), about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Squeezing it (like a hand held stapler) sends an electrical charge to the blasting caps inside the claymore.

The DML Green Berets set in the Nam series ( I forget the #) has a figure with a detonator in his hand. Unfortunately it is molded in.
If that's of any help.
