Overview[edit]
Standard landmines are autonomous explosives detonated by activation of simple pressure plates.[1] Anti-personnel landmines are set off by the weight of anything heavier than a small child, and deal damage primarily through shrapnel and concussive force. Anti-vehicle mines will only be detonated by the massive weight of combat vehicles or BattleMechs, utilizing a shaped-charge explosive to penetrate their target.[2] Other types of mines include alternative fillers such as high explosive, smoke, gas and inferno. Most modern landmines are designed to become inert after a given period for humanitarian purposes.[3]
Notes[edit]
Specifications[edit]
