This could have been a lot worse. At least they were going slow.

Got stuck behind a Navy recruiting trailer in single lane construction traffic for like 20 miles one time. It blew a tire and couldn’t pull over so the rear corner kept coming down and throwing sparks everywhere.

So I would go down range and wait for them to fire it, watch the arch to figure out about where it's going to land, and then step behind a tree. My friend's dad was not amused when he found out.

How bad is the shrapnel from a mine like that? Are those people just getting really really lucky that they're not being hit?

It's not inconsequential, but the bodies of the mine are made of plastic to make them harder to detect. They're warcrime mines meant to linger in areas populated with civilians and cause limb destroying casualties. They're also meant to be deployed from the air and can be dropped from aircraft or launched from mortars. They're designed to glide so that they remain intact while airdropped.

Hyperlynx posted:How bad is the shrapnel from a mine like that? Are those people just getting really really lucky that they're not being hit? Very little. Butterfly mines fall under Toe Popper types- they are designed to be scattered by munitions (varieties can be deployed from aircraft, mortars, arty, and even a variation on theme with the Counter Pursuit grenade, which while not the Butterfly, operate similar. IIRC there are accounts of Spetsnaz/VDV in AFG and Chechnya hand deploying them) and simply to maim. That's it. The charge is not enough to kill (generally), but to remove parts of humans in large chunks. Besides the old mistaken belief of "Wounding 1 removes 3 fighters" and area denial, it's to tie up resources and exhaust the opposing force. Their small size and color (even though the Russians agreed to make them less tactical colors, same lie we tell) make them extremely hard to find without advanced detection.

That's not to say they don't throw shrapnel, just not much. They are horrid designs with a horrific tactical doctrine attached.

Yeah they deploy those in packs of 34, so if you find one, there'll be at least another 30 scattered around the same area, and more likely hundreds. I can easily see the mine clearance guys getting tired and just saying gently caress it and using bricks/tires.

They have a laughably high failure and dud rate, too. E- America's is terrible for similar munitions, so I dread to find how theirs is in real world. bulletsponge13 fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Aug 10, 2022 |

If I happened to be making a videogame involving semi-realistic military forces using semi-realistic military tech and I had a question about the kinds of stuff that could be feasibly mounted on a specific vehicle, should I ask about it in here or should I go bother TFR?
