Limpet Mine |
A limpet mine can be affixed (via electrostatic charge) to any reasonably flat, firm
surface. Once placed and activated it will detonate when any moving object
approaches within about 1/2 meter (there is a built-in three second delay after
activation to allow the placer to get out of range). Limpet mines are used for
territory denial in areas where it is not practical to place larger mines, or
when time does not permit the use of more permanent mines. Extremely small and
light (less than 0.3 kilos), several limpet mines can be carried by a single soldier,
even on a light patrol. |
