Description
This mine has four principal components: the mine body, the mine cover, the exploder mechanism, and the Thunderflash gunpowder charge. The mine cover is fastened to the body by three pins which engage slots provided in three retaining straps attached to the mine body.
AT Practice Mine E.P. No. 2 is exactly similar to the Mine No. 3 described above, except that a three-foot length of red instantaneous fuse is substituted for the Thunderflash. Although this mine is not anti-personnel, the charge is by no means harmless, and due precautions should be taken in disarming, especially if the mine has been subjected to blast.
