The A-M18A1 Claymore mine is a command-detonated directional antipersonnel mine prepackaged for rapid deployment.

Most Claymore mines issued to the SGC come equipped with a remote detonating system for use with a short range remote. This allows flexible placement of the mine without the potential for identifying the team via following the cord.

Behind the scenesEdit

In the TV shows, the Claymore is portrayed as a purely explosive device. In reality, the Claymore is a directional mine which uses C4 to fire approximately seven hundred 1/8 inch steel balls in a 60 degree arc.
