Airsoft Claymore

A simple airsoft Claymore made from a party popper.

idea found here
http://www.geocities.com/usafcaptain/claymore.htm

EDIT: The link above is dead. Sorry.
And wow, Its been awhile since I posted this. Since then I've found that, even with corn instead of BBs, this doesn't work except in scenarios where the triggering of the device itself is considered a kill, at which point you might as well leave in the confetti. 

Step 1: Supplies

1.partty poppers
2.fishing line.
3.BBs
4.long thin object(like a knife or pencil)
5.nails.

sorry about my name i made my account a few years ago and dont relly use nerf any more but good idea i am going to plance these around my bunker

[Beanbob223]

If you place all of them inside of a box you could make a really powerful claymore. Once you've loaded it tie all the strings togther and when your friend/enimy comes along pull on the strings.

[willer2122]

this is a great idea. you've got the same gun as me

[kkilty]

i tried this omg its fricken amazing i scared the crap out of my friends and left like a million bruises on him he looked liken he got attacked by a swarm of bees its amazing

[Everett_McKinley]

I love the look of them!!

[apple is cool still]

i will try it

[airsoft monkey man]

wont it block the slide if you tape it?

[notyou13]

no they wont

[jggammer]

funny because it does not work at all wow sad

[Marble of Doom]

I know, it really doesn't.

[brickman93]

yea good idea. i thought of the same thing too. 

[aRejectedKitten]

its a miracle some 1 from my time

[brickman93]

I know right! 

[aRejectedKitten]

nobody looks at the old instructables anymore but ive found that almost all the old 1s r good 1s

[brickman93]

totally agree!

[3700823]

its not really a claymoore any way its a shotgun unless you set it up with a trip line

[airsoftiscool87]

ithink youshouls say when your ready you coak the gun and tell the person your pointing at to say cheese and pull loop and trigger and bolth will shoot and you'd have one go further than the rest.

[aRejectedKitten]

lol 1st of all they would shoot you before you had time to say anything and 2nd just tie the fishing line to your trigger on the gun (very tight but not enough to set it off) and just pull the trigger

[3700823]

they work good if you tape 4 together

 If you mount them in a rotational barrel, you can have a CAW. Set the strings up in one position, so when the barrel turns, the popper goes boom. If you mount 20 or so in a circular fashion, you would have a fully-automatic shotgun for airsoft (AA-12). That would be the worlds' first, and you would be famous. Or just use grenade shells, but this is more fun.

Good job!

The link to the other site no longer works.

[Colonel88]

This doesnt go as far, so fill up with like 2-5 pellets because the explosion is not enough to launch it like at least a meter

[Marble of Doom]

Has anyone noticed that maybe 45% of Instructables have bad blurry pictures? Does no one have a macro setting on their camera? When my pics come out bad, I retake them even if it means resetting up my work. Still great job Molybdenum!!!!

[toxincool]

imde a dubble land mine like this and they hated me for it

[Marble of Doom]

Sweet, I've got to try this! You play with co2 guns in the winter? Wow, my guns stop working when it's 60 degrees.

[venus]

Just fill a coke can with bbs and some black cat light the fusu throw and run

[b5200]

That is a grenade. Not a mine.

[bighead5454]

a grenade goes off user controlled EX: Remote pullpin. But a mine is victim activated EX: some type of trip wire so this is a mine

[b5200]

I was talking to venus I wasn't talking about the instructable.

[twenglish1]

that doesn't work i tried it you need one big firecracker like a m-80 or something having a bunch of little ones doesn't work cause the don't go off at the same time

[finfan7]

the only problem with that is that some states/cities have outlawed fireworks. I can get some but they are illegal in AZ.

[mitchell931993]

isnt that a grenade and not a claymore?

[Alexizupinhea]

Sounds like a good idea... Might try soon

[djboy]

are these reusable or not

[slydark]

this is an awesome idea. five stars for you! low budget solutions are the friend of the jobless airsoft enthusiast!!!!

[mazeka.14]

where can you ge5t that kind of popper

[crazycroscountry]

at the dollar store and guess how much money a pack of 6 costs. 1$ lol

[professorred]

$17.95?

[slydark]

well my friend this type of confetti popper can be found in largest abundance around the times of new years and fourth of july (if you reside in the united states) you should be able to get them wherever fireworks are sold.

[bighead5454]

yea so true i got a pack of like 20 for like $5
