Irrelevant, actually. When they are detonated, the 6 lbs of combined C4 will make everything “outside”.

The command detonated kit of the standard M18A1 Claymore includes a 30m firing wire... and the instructions clearly emphasize that the firer MUST be under “cover” ( something that will stop bullets etc) when firing.... Your wood frame house is not in the class of “cover” BTW.

Firing a single Claymore from under cover at 30m rocks your world, rattles your brain and leaves you rather stunned as well.

Too much Hollywood in folks veins I think.

Better would be a alarm system, with video recorded off site, a commercial grade entry door, proper lighting and an occupant that knows better than to open the door when folks knock... for starters.

Heh. I remember when our brand new obnoxious cherry Lt. put one at the base of a 6 inch diameter tree, about 15 feet in front of his hasty position, figured that it would keep him safe.

Backblast cut through the base of the tree and it fell on him. Fortunately he wasn’t hurt, but he did learn a good little lesson.
