Should we have this logic apply to claymores? I don't play sniper often 
enough to remember to deploy those, but conceptually they do the same 
thing. If you climb a ladder and get one in the face, do you blame the guy 
who used it to defend his six? I think it should get treated the same as a 
mine.

Ok, something to add to DICE's RFE list on the wiki, then. Deploying should 
generate an event, and items that expire from the game world should 
generate another event. That also goes for vehicle respawns and 
self-destructs.
