the claymore shoots bb's so eitherway you will still use ammo...

Use unpopped popcorn* or rock salt, both are cheaper alternatives where I live. I typically use corn because it's cheaper and you can buy it in large amounts.

*I know it's called corn, I just didn't want to imply canned or frozen corn.

i just love how simple and effective these are.

nice ible. i made one but i found out that it throws the bbs either forward or at the ground so i added a string thing to the arm to make it stop halfway over. it really works.

I made this and it works like a charm. But i also made a few mods.
1) I put an angle bracket so that when the trap's duct tape box slams down, the trap swing arm hits it so no ruined duct tape box.
2) I used a regular staple instead of a big nail for that part.
3) When using, make sure that the trip wire is at the end of the cross arm thing and that the cross arm metal thing is just at the lip of the bent nail. Sadly it takes a lot of force to pull out, so make that part as fragile as possible.

Other wise, i love it. Pics will be posted later.

Thanks for the feedback. At the time I'm working on one with a rat trap and making it motion sensored, so I might work some more improvements into it. Also, try putting some long nails in it so it will stay in the ground, It works a lot better when you do.

You definitely need to post a video of this, it is way to great to not see in action!

true dat!

Did you just copy me?

[evilgenius32]

No. Yours is much simpler as it is just a mousetrap with a box and a string holding the bar back from swinging all the way, easy and very fast to make. Mine has the bar perpendicular to the rest of the claymore while yours is parallel to the claymore. The ideas are similar but different too. When I saw yours I knew it would work just as well, but I just like things more complicated than they have to be.
