Do you folks know that the Armory made (and probably still makes) a pack
of modern
military...stuff?  They called it "Battlefile Debris", or something like
that.  It included a 
coil or rope, some jerry cans, and a lot of other things -- including a
pair of claymores.

Not super high quality, but the pack was/is 25mm scale, and pretty cheap
to boot.  Might
be worth looking for if people are serious about making these counters.
