Jul 1, 2016 · The best-known bounding mines, the German S-Mine class, had a four-second time delay on the fuse. This gave a person or vehicle triggering the mine time to move away so they wouldn't prevent the mine from rising into the air, but it also gave them time to take evasive action if they realized they'd triggered it.
A bounding mine is an anti-personnel mine designed to be used in open areas. When it is tripped, a small propelling charge launches the body of the mine 3 to 4 feet (91 to 122 centimetres) into the air, where the main charge detonates and sprays fragmentation at roughly waist height.
May 25, 2022 · A deep dive into bounding fragmentation mines. These banned deadly anti-personnel landmines that spray shrapnel at roughly waist height are now not only mass produced but ‘super large’ clones...
The most devious APERS mine is the bounding mine - these have a proximity detection that will trigger if someone passes within a few meters of them, resulting in the mine bounding into the air to approximately head level before exploding.
Bounding fragmentation mines have a small lifting charge that, when activated, launches the main body of the mine out of the ground before it detonates at around chest height. This produces a spray of shrapnel over a larger area and causes deep, often lethal, wounds on the victim's entire body.
May 5, 2012 · I've heard that it's impossible to get off of a Russian CR38 bounding mine without death or serious maiming. Is there a way to do so with minimal injuries? Possibly using a moving vehicle or a helicopter to pull someone off of the mine?
A bounding mine is an anti-personnel mine designed to be used in open areas. When tripped, a small propelling charge launches the body of the mine 3–4 feet (0.9-1.2 metres) into the air, where the main charge detonates and sprays fragmentation at roughly waist height.
