Editing Claymore mine (section)

==Variants==

===M68 inert training kit===
The M68 kit is designed to familiarize personnel with the placement and arming of a real M18 directional mine. It comes with all the components of a real Claymore kit packed in an M7 bandolier. The light blue or black plastic M33 inert anti-personnel mine is the training and practice version of the M18A1 Claymore. Some inert mines were green with a light blue band. It does not contain an explosive or pyrotechnic filler of any kind. It is packed in a Claymore bag with inert M10 simulated detonator cap wire, an M57 "clacker" firing control, and an M40 circuit test kit.

=== Mini-Multi-Purpose Infantry Munition ===
In early 2015, the U.S. Army began testing a smaller version of the Claymore called the Mini-Multi-Purpose Infantry Munition (M-MPIMS). It weighs {{convert|2|lb|kg|sigfig=1}} and has a {{convert|50|m|ft|abbr=on|order=flip}} effective range, similar to the full-size Claymore. At its optimized range of {{convert|30|m|ft|abbr=on|order=flip|sigfig=1}}, the fragmentation zone is {{convert|23|m|ft|abbr=on|order=flip}} wide and {{convert|2|m|ft|abbr=on|order=flip|0}} high, with a minimum of five hits per square meter (0.5 per square foot). It has the surface space of an average [[smartphone]] and includes a [[Picatinny rail]] for camera, laser, or other attachments. The M-MPIMS is designed to be more controllable than the Claymore with less collateral damage, using an [[insensitive munition]]s explosive that is poured rather than packed for more uniform distribution results in more consistent blast pattern. Rear-safety distance has been decreased to {{convert|15|m|ft|abbr=on|order=flip|sigfig=1}} and shelf life has been increased to 25&nbsp;years.<ref>[http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/tech/2015/04/06/benning-aewe-battelab-tech/70214876/ RPGs, grenades and dummies: 9 soldier-tested gadgets] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150408204652/http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/tech/2015/04/06/benning-aewe-battelab-tech/70214876/ |date=2015-04-08 }} – Militarytimes.com, 6 April 2015</ref>
