Description

This mine resembles the French antipersonnel mine Model 1951. It has four parts - a plastic case, an integral fuze, a main charge, and a detonator. The case has vertical ribs on its sides for strengthening purposes. The threaded well in the top is provided for the pressure shear type friction fuze.

These mines are emplaced in large numbers for antipersonnel use. Only the top of the striker extends above the ground.
