would it be possible to make a shaped charge claymore type weapon? with a linear liner, so the 'jet' would actually be a bar. any advantages?

I believe there is a thread in the armour forum about such weapons used as anti-tank mines.

Explosively formed penetrators can be used to remotely attack something with a shaped charge, but I don't think a linear jet to sweep into a line of advancing troops or something would be workable.  Even if it were, I think a conventional fragmentation type claymore is more efficient.

There was just a demonstration of something like that on the Future Weapons TV series.  It was used to clear a path through razor wire.
