And a Grenade.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!"

Tank tracks are designed to distribute weight so they don't sink. A woman in high heels will leave a dent in a wooden floor while an elephant won't. Also, don't wear high heels in a minefield...

Plot twist: prior to the war, the guy standing on the mine was a person on my 500 lb life

I had an Italian plastic landmine in my hands with unshunted wires coming from the booster charge. It was an electrical blasting cap and it was a definite look into the abyss.

Looks like when Mat Damon stepped on a land mine in The Monuments Men in a mine while searching for statues and paintings in a territory that will be given to the Soviets

Good news is that you wont casually activate it, bad news, intrusive thoughts exist

[@mohawksniper79]

Really bad news is that they usually have a grenade underneath the landmine now.

The biggest soldier walks on it and it detonates lol.

Funfakt: Mines do not have a release trigger. Mines go up when you put your foot on them, not when you take them off. So the good news is, if you hit a mine and don't get blown up right away, you don't have to stand on it.

I served in Czech military, during boot camp they told us, a lot of countries used AT mines with AP switch because AT mines are not part of Geneva convention thus not breaking any rules. Wouldn't count on it being AT...

The homie digging in the sand would die for some YT likes. True hero.

the good new is that mines explode when pressure applied - not when pressure removed - he is totally safe
