Airsoft Claymore prototypes are done!

One of the side projects that has been on the back burner for a bit is a "claymore" mine for airsoft. This is a mechanical device that throws a handful of plastic bbs (or navy beans, or what have you) when the trip wire is pulled. They are quite safe, and not really dangerous, but instead are intended to safely simulate the effect of a trip mine in a paint ball or airsoft game.

As we play airsoft, and are fairly handy, we decided that we needed to come up with a few clever versions for our own use, and figured "heck, why not make them available to the community at large!". Yep, pretty soon we will have airsoft claymores on the main site!

These will range in size from a cigarette pack up to about the size of a small footlocker, and will all be custom made and painted. More info on these soon! Right now we are testing the prototypes and we will post a bunch of pics once we have the production run started.
