Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - RF Remote Claymore Airsoft mine Market Survey

zero delay · December 24th, 2005, 02:27

I'd like to gauge market interest for Radio Frequency Remote controlled Pnuematic/Co2 powered Airsoft directional/Claymore mines. For those of you not up to speed on the lingo what that means is a mine design to produce a blast of 100-500BBs in a wide spread arc roughly 8 ft high x 30-50 ft across with an effective range of about 90ft, that uses a longe range radio remote(specs list has a range of 1000m optimum conditions, a more realistic conservative estimate is 300-500m under game circumstances) to trigger the mine. These mines can be set up using a number of triggering options, including but not limited to Tripwire mech (which is more sensitive than any tripwire on the market, basically less than one one-two ounces pull to trip) pressure switch which can be set up to trip when weight is added, or when it is removed (as in a boobytrap configuration, where picking up something as small as mag from the trail sets it off) or command detonated with either a RF remote or the conventional hardwired momentary pushbutton detonator. These triggering options allow the mine to be used with equal effectiveness either in deffencive or offencive applications. They are completely impervious to damage under normal use, as they are made entirely out of steel, it is no exageration to say that they could likely withstand being run over by a 1/2 ton and still function at %100 effficency. The units break down into 3 components for transport , and are small enough to be stored in a typical USGI Gas Mask bag, and weigh approx 3-4lbs.

These are actuall fully functional and thouroughly tested units that have been in R&D for 2 years and have been used on airsoft feilds across the country and have proven highly effective. The reason for this survey is that I'm about to embark on another production run and need an idea as whether or not their is any potential to widen the market for these units, and to guage what the market will bear in terms of cost. this will give me some kind of indication whether it is worth the time to pursue expanding production,
