Landmines description
Personal note

A landmine is an explosive device planted in the ground and activated by pressure, magnetic fields and tripwires, among many others. They are one of the most commons weapons used in modern warfare and are most often used as tactical barriers and enemy deterrents.


An M16 anti-personnel mine can be activated by 11 pounds of pressure—equivalent to a small child
