not really all of us in the game were malaysians.

I believe where you point the Claymore plays an important part.

Example:
You wanna clay the entrance of the door. I have significantly better success rate if I point the claympore 45 degrees away from the entrance, rather than the usual straight across the opening. So you're basically pointing the claymore to where his butt is suppose to be once he crosses.
