This is what FFLINK13 and I got out of the claymore.tweak-file,actual data on the claymore's trigger- and blast-radius and ranges.

https://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c398/FFLink13/radius1.jpg

Claymores have a trigger which reacts and detonates the claymore when an object(soldier,vehicle) engages the claymore from the front and advances to a 7 meter distance(edge of blue triangle).

The target has to move atleast with a speed of 0.1 meters/second(that's what I guess from the victinMinSpeed line) to trigger the claymore.

The trigger angle is 30° wide(blue triangle),the blast angle is 45° wide(red triangle) and both are directed exactly away from the front of the claymore(this side towards enemy,you know).

The blast has an effective killing range of 15 meters (the big red triangle!) and delivers 200 points of damage.

The detection distance for a friendly unit(the distance where a red skull shows up) is 10 meters,so you have a 3 meters safety zone(7 meters= trigger zone!!!)!
I'm not sure though if it detects it in a full 10 meter circle or only inside the (extended) trigger radius.

The claymore is armed 3 seconds after placing it.

The claymore will disappear 30 seconds after the sniper is killed.

Special thanks to FFLink13 for making the picture with BF2Editor(I guess...).

Btw,I've just posted this as a new thread so it gets a slot in the featured posts section without all the clutter of posts like in the original thread.

Woohoo! Claymores explained! Now you need to figure out how to disarm them without dying.

Still,there remains the question about this line of code: ObjectTemplate.detonation.triggerVictimMinSpeed 0.1

Is it actually possible to crawl slower than 0.1(meters/second (?)) and crawl over claymores that way?

Tapping the W key really erm..lightly and fast? Or nudging the Joystick forward very lightly? (Whilst prone and using Ironsights)

With or without ironsights ? Ie: can I crawl at "normal" speed, or do I need to zoom my gun and THEN crawl ?

If you see a claymore in front of you...just request a medic.

*This only works if there are medics actually doing their job*

The medic comes running *BOOM* claymore dissarmed!

If you have time...or feel like it...pick up the medic kit and revive your claymore disarmer...or just say "Hey, Thanks."

You grab a Wrench, Go Prone, And "Crawl" up to it, Even if the sensors are Staring right at you, It works for me, I've never died when trying to DisArm a Claymore.

There wasn't any mystery,just exaggerated posts from claymore whiners ->

https://img1.putfile.com/thumb/9/24419221019.jpg

,who claimed that the claymores detonate when you are like 50 meters away and that there wouldn't be any way to avoid them....

Now this data clears up some of said bullshit.

Yes this works. Or I got lucky, but I have managed to creep over the top of one without it going off.

I do several times a day...never worked for me. any movement once I see the claymore and the claymore sees me=death.

The further away you are from something that explodes, the safer you are. Didn't know that, thanks.

7 meters? That longer then I thought. I thought it was 15ft (5 meters). I think it was like 4 meters in 1.12 or maybe that's because in 1.12 people didn't abuse them.
