Initial contact this game, I did not very like. Since find good reason to release point, I also began to like it. Every day after work, I always go to play this game. Perhaps little girls will like me, in order to give went to all I like it. I dull playing a few weeks, very few speak to people and I have 26 levels and also I earn a little GuildWars Gold.

So I decided to closed my own heart, I played lonely, I gave up to find, put aside feeling. I upgrade, take account and earn goonzu money a person. I live a little good; I think I have been really put aside.

And I said I was a bad people, I asked if did you not heard in this game. She said she heard, but she did not believe. I smiled. So I took her to play, I told her how to play, how to upgrade.

“Given that the bomb is dropped with a detonator capable of initiating the explosives, I find the claim that one can’t reuse the explosive from a dud to be pretty thin.“
The explosive fill PAX-21 is insensitive munition (IM) rated, which means it cannot be detonated easily and requires special fuzing. The fuzing system of the CLAW becomes inert shortly after the weapon is released. So insurgents would either need a supply of high-tech fuzing devices, or lab equipment capable of ractivating the original fuze. Either way, it’s unlikely to happen.
“And one thing unstated, what is the cost? Should it be more or less than a cluster bomb? (More sophisticated materials and electronics, but fewer parts/detonators/etc?)“
Cost is something like $5k per CLAW. Last time the USAF bought CBU-103 I believe they were around $30k, they’d be more expensive now; buying 200 fuzes, 200 charges, 200 fragmentation cases etc does cost a bit.
“Could this design be used as the basis for better anti-aircraft weapons as well? “
There may be a better approach to this. Watch out for a future instalment in DefenseTech.

what about the civilians who pick up and handle unexploded ordnance, your article seems to focus entirely on the soldiers who have some measure of armor and protection and says very little to the children who play in war zones littered with cluster bombs.
perhaps CLAW will rememdy this, perhaps not. but the far more compelling argument for this weapon to me is clearly that unexploded ordnance is not a threat to the civilian population, either accidently or retooled as an IED.

Another interesting question: Could this design be used as the basis for better anti-aircraft weapons as well? (Well, against aircraft other than A-10s that is)
And one thing unstated, what is the cost? Should it be more or less than a cluster bomb? (More sophisticated materials and electronics, but fewer parts/detonators/etc?)
