Matrix M18A1 Remote Control Activated Claymore Airsoft Anti-Personel Mine

"For the money this rig is pretty good. That being said I caution two things:

1: Make sure to keep an eye on/re-enforce the c-clips on the pins attaching the cloth to the spring arms. Mine exploded off during a game and it's a bit tricky getting a new one on.

2: The circuitry for the remote detonation is a little dodgy. Too much abuse will render it useless, but there's always the tripwire option so not too much of a hassle.

Overall I would recommend for if nothing else a very interesting piece to use in a game, very useful for doorway ambushes.

"I bought 3 of them. First of all, only one worked. I had to tweak the latches because they wouldn't hold. If you unscrew the launcher, then the screw holding the trigger, bend it I bit, it then holds. Bend it too much and it won't let go. Take it back apart and try again.
Also, I found you can't pre-load the ammo in them. If you do the BB's run all over inside and usually lock it up. I have to load them when I set them up.
Evik now sells safeties and remotes. Get them. You WILL lose them.
I took cammo tape and covered them. Admin was three feet away and couldn't see it. I triggered it and pellets went 30 feet.
It's worth it.

"It's alright.
I bought mine new and it was pretty cool. The only problem is tha the latch mechanism needed tweaking right out of the box. Firstly the two metal prongs that the latch functions off of didnt line up properly. The other thing was that the part of the latch mechanism that allowed remote detonation didn't extend far enough the trigger the latch. All I did was adjust the latch and glue some plastic to the other part and it works great! All around a good product after the modifications but more of an entertainment item. Pros: gives tactical advantages, worth a good laugh Cons: needed adjustment, remote not entirely reliable

"I recently got one of these and it looks really great with trip wires. The only problem i had was with the remote, when i pressed the button i could see the light blink but the claymore didn't respond.

"this thing is epic there great for capture the flag and some noob comes up and you detonate it, its also good for snipers if they ned something to watch there back, kind of a pain to load though

"I got this exact model, right here on Evike.

Great for guarding an objective from your opponents, especially if they have to go to a very specific spot, but more difficult to use effectively in other situations

The range on the detonator is RIDICULOUS. You can set it off long after you lose visual contact with your claymore. I tested the max range in moderately dense woodland and I'd estimate it near the 150 yard mark. Much farther than you'd ever really need.

I'd recommend getting more than one though, since it seems that no matter where I put it, my opponents come from the opposite side, which can be quite frustrating when trying to actually get a kill with one of these.

I'd also suggest that you only use these in fields you know well, or in very recognizable areas. Its easy to lose track of them and if you forget where you set one up, good luck finding it again. Some sort of bright flag marker could help with this, but it would also give up the location of your carefully hidden mine.

All in all, not bad. Only Con is that it isn't very versatile since the enemy has to go to it.

"I have this claymore, although i bought it off airsplat BUT WHATEVER. If i had the chance to buy the claymore again, i wouldnt. Instead, i would buy one with a wire detonation. Although the wireless detonator sucks, trip wire (fishing line works good) gets the job done. So, if you've got some 125 bucks lying around go for it. yea.

"Very Nice weapon...
Only problem is the cloth launchpad...its merely sewn on to the spring brackets...Mine broke free of the sewing after only a few uses. And be careful when grounding it...the spikes are metal, but very cheep metal that bends if you apply too much force.

If theres a way to fix the sewing for the cloth then this thing gets top marks. Good luck sewing the cloth back together though...the springs have nothing to keep them mildly retracted without the cloth and will open to the fullest extent...making it a real bastard to close the darn thing.

"this thing is sweet, i started to play with it right when i got it! I love the little remote control that lets me control upto 4 claymores, the only thing that sucks is they dont send any cord for tripwire, its looks way cooler than the picture!
by Ian C. on 07/12/2008
"Man... I used this at my last skirmish... Made my job so much easier.... bye bye powder shot mines, hello remote detonated BB mines.... Great for booby traps, tactical placement, or even an emergency defense if you have the skill to set it up quickly. Wish i had more heavy equipment like this in my arsenal, might make demo man a bit easier, but as it stands, its a great weapon. the range is a bit short on the wireless detonator, but I usually set a tripwire anyways. Four stars only because The Range needs to be more on the wireless detonator.... I always got terrible range, about twenty feet....

"The M18 Claymore worked as intended for a while… but something internally started to bend, made the “remote” aspect to it fail. It was rather unfortunate, now it only works with the tripwire.
I’d rate it 3/5 due to the limited amount of time I’ve used it and it’s unstable nature.
I’d personally steer clear from this claymore despite its good material.

"The canvas sling that yeets out the BBs ripped in the first three times I activated it. I had to fashion a leather re-enforcement piece to keep it from ripping totally apart.

The motor in this thing doesn’t always have enough oomph to trigger the mine. I’m hopeful that I can figure out how to make it fire reliably, but so far I don’t feel like I can trust this thing to go off reliably in a game.

"I noticed that myself and some other people have problems with the remote. When i click the button I would hear a clicking sound but it didn't work. The remote was bad the trip wire worked great. Its great for sniping or playing capture the flag. But if your useing it for sniping i would also get a flash bang trip wire.

"works well if you can get it set up wont work reliably with remote leg broke off first time being used evike shipping is horrible
by Mark H. on 09/08/2016
"Bought 2 and neither work reliably with the remote. Tried new batterie, filing the latch, oiling the latch, bending the latch and all combinations in between. In the end the cloth that holds the BBs has now ripped from repeated attempts to get it to work but still it will not work with the remote.


Save your money and buy something that does work.

And finally.....never ever buy from Airsoft megastore. I have been shipped 2 malfunctioning items and despite repeated attempts to have them take action nothing has been done. Evike has been great so far.
