Description
This mine can be used as either an anti-tank or an anti-personnel mine. The body is a rectangular steel container filled with high explosive. The fuze well is located in the center of the top surface, and at one end is an activator well that will accommodate any standard firing device with a Corps of Engineers’ blasting cap. The pressure plate is shaped to the contour of the mine body and is slotted so that it may be guided by rivets in the sides of the mine body, into position over the fuze. A small circular pad on the underside of the pressure plate bears against the head of the fuze.
For a booby trap or anti-personnel mine, any standard firing device may be attached to the side fuze well.
