Claymore
From Crysis Wiki
The Claymore is an anti-personnel mine used by the KPA. It explodes when an enemy gets near it, which suggests that it is motion-activated. It appears to be a direct copy of the American M18A1 Claymore Mine. It is unknown where the KPA got the blueprints from, but it most likely comes from a reverse-engineered copy of the M18A1.

The Claymore is available in multiplayer for both games, but is only usable in single-player in Crysis: Warhead.
[edit] Tactics
When using the Claymore, remember that Claymores are thrown to the ground, not placed, ala the Claymores in Call of Duty 4. That means, when planting Claymores just past corners, you should probably press the fire key a little bit before the corner so that the mine lands next to the edge of the corner, not past or before it.
In single player, the Claymore is best used to take out enemies while you're Cloaked. Alert some enemies, place a Claymore just past a corner, then Cloak and hide. Eventually one or two of them will wander over to it and get blown up by it. This is much safer than decloaking, shooting a gun, then recloaking.
It can also be used as an anti-flanking weapon if you intend to stay at one spot for a long period of time. Simply place the Claymores near areas that enemies are very likely to pass in order to get to you.
In multiplayer, the Claymore is useful for solidifying an area that your team has control over. Place a few Claymores near key points, and it should give your team enough time to strengthen their position. Try to be posted near a mine just in case a few more people might want to come in soon after the Claymore detonates.
