Description
The British L10A1 is a scatterable antipersonnel mine which is designed to be laid by the Ranger antipersonnel mine laying system. The system is mounted on a FV432 armored personnel carrier and consists of 72 tubes each loaded with 18 mines, for a total of 1296 mines per load. The mine is a relatively simple pressure initiated, blast antipersonnel mine. When pressure is applied to the top of the mine, the integral fuze is functioned and the mine detonates.
The mine case is painted OD green.
The plastic body does provide the mine with a non-metallic construction, but there is sufficient metal in the fuze to make the mine detectable.
