Description

The Mine EP No. 4 consists of three component parts: the outer mine canister. the inner loaded mine case, and the special Fuze Unit No. 1.

Although any British switch may be used with this mine, the switch designed especially for it is the Pressure Switch E.P. No. 1.

This mine is a bounding shrapnel mine designed for anti-personnel purposes. When the mine is fired, the bomb jumps from its container, comes to rest on the surface of the ground, and explodes.
