Barbed Wire, Antipersonnel: Concertina wire consisting of strips of metal with razor-like blades, also known as “razor wire.” They are often interlaced with tripwires, flares, grenades and other explosives, and cans with a small amount of metal bits or rocks in them. Issued in 10m rolls with twenty stakes. Weight: 80kg.
Barbed Wire, Concertina: Spring-like coil of barbed wire, with interlaced strands of normal barbed wire, also known as a “combat slinky.” Issued in 10m rolls with twenty stakes. Weight: 80kg.
Barbed Wire, Concertina/Antipersonnel: Essentially a combination of the two wire barbed types above, this version of “razor wire” usually also has a horizontal razor wire strand going in and out through each coil. Normally issued in 50m rolls with one hundred stakes. Weight: 200kg.
Barbed Wire, Straight: Normal lines of heavy wire with knots of barbs. Though used in warfare, they are much more likely to be used on cattle farmers’ fields. Farmers normally put up solid wooden posts to attach their wire. Issued in 25m rolls. Weight: 40kg.
