What is the proper name for these?

[Colt45]

The anti-boat and amphibious tank things, you put along a coastline on a front.


they're sort of a 3 dimensional X, like a jack or whatever it is called in the game jacks.

Always curious as to what they were called. Sort of a amphibious version of a dragon's tooth.

And may I say that while taking fire they provide about as much cover as a petrified turd?
