Then be glad guy. You loose weight. Cause if you really are 200 lbs. You already dead. Landmine dont explode when you release the pressure. Thats a movie thing.

And a Grenade.

[@Nikowalker007]

He probly meant couple hundred kilos. 4 00 - 500 lbs in most cases to destroy armored personal carriers and immobilize tanks and light armored infantry vehicles. Car or a bike will have enough ground pressure to detonate it and get completely destroyed though…

[@thatguy4305]

the myth that landmines go off when you release pressure comes from the german bouncing betty (S-Mine). It had a 4.5 second delay fuse. so you'd step on it, walk a step or two and then get fucked royally.

[@rrtttfthxg2143]

[@bluej4ykbbluejaysrule915]

It wasn't a step and release, the mine was activated as soon as it was stepped on. It was a delay to give the person time to step off so the mine wouldn't launch into their leg. The only possible mine with this mechanism is the Prom-2 supposedly

[@bluej4ykbbluejaysrule915]

[@crabbiboi5528]

Most landmines dont fire when pressure is released. That's a movie thing, if it were going to detonate it would have already.

[@PugilistCactus]

Depends on how its set as nost mines actually have settings for how they are being used. A mine field will be instant as its to deny access, whereas a trap mine is there to cause a dilemma.

[@westphalianstallion4293]

And its more propaganda to avoid a bouncing betties disabeling a whole squad that just one guys leg.

[@dannydetonator]

​@leonwilcox2737There are both and more options, just the ones to detonate when pressure is released are much rarer, for specific purposes. And after all, can't be sure with every mine, some have a wide choice of arming/trigger methods. That's what experts wrote anyway and i've intention of becoming one eventually.

[@Damocles54]

During the landmine phase of training, we were practicing with the anti-handling devices (mouse traps). The dummy mines were full-size and had vents cut into the top. The mouse traps had very small explosives in them, a bit stronger than firecrackers. The practice tables had wooden boxes filled with, I think it was sawdust, that we would bury the mines in to practice removing the traps and disarming the mines. We had one guy get ahead of the instructor and tripped the trap. It blows up in his face with a cloud of sawdust and he just stood there with that "oh shit" look on his face as the sawdust rained down on him. You take your comedy where you can find it lol

There is one russian pressure *release* trigger for mines that exists. But its not used like this. It’s more for a trap where you plant the mine, put a plate of cookies on top of it, and then activate it. It then goes of when an enemy soldier grabs the plate.

[@labrat2306]

Not necessarily true. There are leftover mines from old conflicts with release switches, however; pressure ordinance is usually improvised and used for trapping objects such as bodies.

[@TimeSurfer206]

One of the fictional devices I saw in a piece of fiction (Bob Heinlein's "Starship Troopers," at that) was the Ten Second Grenade. A grenade with an announcement mechanism, when pin pulled and spoon released, started screaming: "I AM A TEN SECOND BOMB. I AM A TEN SECOND BOMB. "TEN!! "NINE!! "EIGHT!!" If you have ever seen a panicked crowd in a fire, you can picture the carnage that would occur BEFORE the detonation.
